Stay Hydrated: Aim for at least eight glasses of water daily to maintain hydration and support blood sugar levels.

Monitor Blood Sugar Levels: Regularly check your blood sugar to catch any fluctuations early and adjust your food choices accordingly.

Plan Meals Ahead: Prepare your meals in advance to ensure you have balanced, low-GI options available during the fast.

Control Portions: Be mindful of portion sizes to avoid overeating and maintain stable blood sugar levels.

Incorporate Fiber: Include fiber-rich foods in your meals to help slow down digestion and promote stable blood sugar.

Listen to Your Body: Pay attention to how you feel during the fast; if you experience symptoms like dizziness or fatigue, consider breaking your fast and consulting a healthcare professional.
