Fasting Journal

A fasting journal is a tool used to track fasting windows, food intake, and physical responses to help maintain consistency and monitor health goals like weight loss or metabolic health.

Popular Fasting Journals

You can find various journals tailored to different fasting styles and durations:

• The Official Fast Like a Girl Journal: A 60-day guided companion to Dr Mindy Pelz's book, featuring prompts to track sleep, blood sugar, and energy levels.

• The Fast 800 Health Journal: A 12-week companion to Dr Michael Mosley’s programme for planning meals and monitoring mood and activity.

Key Features to Look For

Most effective fasting journals include dedicated sections for:

• Time Tracking: Recording the "first bite" and "last bite" to calculate fasting vs. eating hours.

• Biometrics: Space for weight changes and weekly body measurements (waist, hips, etc.).

• Wellness Markers: Tracking sleep quality, hydration, mood, and daily energy levels.

• Reflection: Guided prompts or notes sections to document how you feel and identify patterns.
