How do we prolong the benefits of fasting?

In order to prolong the benefits of fasting you must make it a routine part of your month. You can choose one week out of the month but you must stick to it as breaking this cycle may have negative side effects. Obviously this pertains to the individual. If one is obese with underlying issues it may be wise to fast once or twice a month. If one is normally athletic with a pescetarian diet that is low in calories but high in nourishment you may need to fast twice a year. Please consult a dietician first before going on a diet.
