Desert Cave Fasting
- Dave Asprey hired a shaman to drop him off in a desert cave with no food or people.
- This experience helped him confront his fears of hunger and being alone.
Mental Challenge of Fasting
- Fasting challenges are often more mental than physical, related to belief systems more than willpower.
- Overcoming mental hurdles is key to successful fasting.
Timing over Calories
- Change the timing of your meals instead of drastically cutting calories.
- Try having an early dinner (5:30 or 6:00 p.m.) to extend your fasting period overnight.
