Explore intermittent fasting without the hype.
Start with the free Fasting Readiness Quiz, or explore Finding Your Window, a practical guide built around my experience learning gradually. This is general educational information, not medical advice.
Why I built this
I'm Brian. I built the fasting readiness quiz and the guide below from my own years of trial and error finding an eating window that actually worked for me. I'm not a doctor or a nutritionist, and nothing here is medical advice or a promise of any particular result. It's lived experience and plain information, meant to help you start somewhere realistic. If you want to know where it comes from, read how I lost 300 pounds with intermittent fasting.
Finding Your Window: A Fasting Readiness Guide
The companion guide to the free quiz, for when you want more than a two-minute result.
Finding Your Window: A Fasting Readiness Guide
A 12-page PDF guide to five starting windows, from a gentle 12:12 up to 20:4 (12:12, 14:10, 16:8, 18:6, 20:4). For each window: what to expect in your first one to two weeks, common mistakes, what to drink during your fasting window, how to know you're ready to move up, and a simple tracking log format you can copy.
