However, here you will take reduced calories for two days every week. That is less than 500 calories for women and 600 for men.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><b>Eat a small amount of food. <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Although you can remove food completely on your fasting days, you can alternatively consume 25% of your calorie requirements of that day. This approach can help you reduce risks associated with fasting, such as hunger and so forth (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/food\/2020\/jan\/30\/the-psychology-of-small-plates-why-food-service-radically-changes-how-much-we-eat\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">12<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">).<\/span><\/b><\/li>\n<li><b>Go for walks. <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you feel bored and hungry, you are likely to break your fast easily.
