Wednesday, October 1 (Week 1) Welcome to Intro to Fasting! Welcome to Toward Health’s Fasting (No) Lunch Support Group! Health We are excited to get started tomorrow, Thursday, October 2 at 12p EST. This 4-week group will give you a basic primer on why, what, and how to incorporate fasting into your diet, along with the strategies needed to begin to integrate fasting into your lifestyle. There will be ample opportunities to ask questions and get real-time support and encouragement during each weekly group. We hope to provide accountability, resources and more to help you understand fasting in a way that sustainably leads to a life-long practice. Also, mark your calendars: during Week 3 (October 16) of this session, Dr. Laura Buchanan will do a deep dive lecture on the science of fasting. You should have already received an email with the Zoom link to join the webinar. Another reminder will be sent an hour before the meeting.
