Lots of people report changes in sleep habits when they start fasting. Most commonly, fasters report sleeping more deeply and having more vivid dreams at night. The effects of fasting on sleep quality and duration have only been studied in two trials to date. Most recently, it was shown that time restricted feeding (limiting the […]
Go easy on yourself during the holidays. If a holiday dinner falls on a fast day, feel free to eat what you want. Missing 2-3 fast days per month will not have a tremendous impact on your weight loss, so feel free to let loose every now and then. That’s the beauty of SuperFastDiet! Eat, […]
We recommend that you consume foods high in protein on the fast day, to help stave off hunger. Juice is very high in sugar, and very low in protein, so we wouldn’t advise only consuming juice on the fast day.
In general, we don’t recommend doing a complete fast on fast day because we’ve found it can be very difficult to get through the day. Two short-term studies (2-3 weeks) have tested ‘true’ fasting diets on health outcomes, and dropout rates were very high. Subjects quit the diet because they felt very irritable, constantly hungry, […]

This meal is filling, it takes a while to eat, and it’s high in protein, fibre, vitamins and minerals. Just make sure you measure out your dressing! Salad dressings are sneaky high-calorie […]
Yes. Scientists recently completed a study that suggests that people can split up the 500 or 100-calorie meal into 100-200-calorie meals throughout the day, and see the same weight loss results as consuming the meal all at once.
Most individuals prefer to have the meal as a lunch or dinner, but you can do whatever works for you.
Eat high fibre foods for your fast day meal (nuts, beans, fruits and vegetables) or chew high fibre gummies Eat high protein foods for your fast day meal (meat, fish, tofu, or nuts) Drinks lots of water. People tend to think they’re hungry, when they are really just thirsty. Drink black coffee/tea, or cinnamon/licorice herbal […]
The short answer is: yes, you will be hangry, but no, not all of the time. Although chances are you will be hangry or irritable, at least a little for the first few weeks, until you get used to the diet. But this subsides fairly quickly. Also, it’s worth remembering that studies have shown hunger […]
