Read This Before You Do Anything I Suggest
The “I’m Just a Bloke on the Internet” Clause
Let’s be perfectly clear about something. I am not a doctor. I am not a nutritionist, a physiotherapist, or a biochemical engineer. I don’t even own a white lab coat, and if I did, I’d probably just spill coffee down the front of it.
I am simply a man of a certain vintage who spent a significant portion of his life being somewhat more “substantial” than he ought to have been. This website, and everything on it, is a record of my personal quest to shed the spare tire without losing my mind in the process. It is, for all intents and purposes, a collection of stories, observations, and mid-afternoon grumbles intended for your entertainment.
The Boring (But Vital) Legal Bit
The content found on TheFastingHabit.com—including text, graphics, images, and other material—is for informational and entertainment purposes only. It is not intended to be a substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment.
- Consult a Professional: Always seek the advice of your physician or another qualified health provider with any questions you may have regarding a medical condition.
- Don’t Ignore the Experts: Never disregard professional medical advice or delay in seeking it because of something you have read on this website.
- The Risk is Yours: If you choose to stop eating for periods of time or change your lifestyle based on my anecdotal ramblings, you do so entirely at your own risk.
A Note on Common Sense
If you have a heart condition, type 1 diabetes, or you’re currently recovering from a skirmish with a rogue lawnmower, for heaven’s sake, talk to a professional before you start fasting. I’m just an old guy who wants to fit into a pair of trousers I bought in 2004. My success (or failure) is not a blueprint for your biological makeup.
In short:
Listen to the person with the stethoscope, not just the grumpy guy with the keyboard.
