Here's How to Deal With Side Effects

To prevent these side effects, drink plenty of water. Pound a big glass right when you wake up, and drink throughout your fast.

Caffeine can also help, so sip on black coffee or green tea. If you're fasting for longer periods of time, putting a little pink Himalayan sea salt in your water can prevent feeling foggy-headed. Going for a walk or light stretching can also make you feel better.
