The best advice i can give you to get into fasting and to maintain the length of the process is to make sure you are in the right mindset. Make sure you are ready and prepared, motivate yourself throughout the day, Focus on yourself and keep telling yourself you are fasting, block out everbody and focus on your higher self or god, resist temptation after the first few days.. it does get alot more bearable and last but not least enjoy the experience. The end of day meal or the meal you eat in your eating window will be fantastic!
and the first sip of drink is pure bliss.
PS: I allow myself to brush my teeth, take baths or showers and wash dishes etc. I just dont allow any water down my throat.
