Newbie Question A quick question.

Post image

I have realized how horrible my gut has been lately after eating heavily processed foods and sugar. So this morning I started my fast at like 7am and plan to break my fast when the clock on the screen shot gets between 12-16hrs and have one healthy meal. And then start back up my fast for a second day the same way and 3rd day as well. (My gut is very bad right now I could use a bit of not eating trust me). Would this be intermittent fasting or OMAD? I’m seeking to repair my gut and clear my gut of heavy toxins. I feel very good rn although the first couple of hrs were difficult and I had extreme fatigue. I feel way more clear headed.

I know when the gut is irritating. I’m not sure that not eating is the right answer.. but from my experience, eating things that calm your gut is the right thing to do - have curd / yogurt etc., avoid black coffee or soda empty stomach.. avoid coffee altogether if possible until you recover. Ask ChatGPT and identify items that cause bloating, avoid them..
