Using the Intermittent Fasting Feature

Does the timer reflect my fasting or eating window?

The timer represents your fasting period. So if you set your fast between 9pm and 10am for example, the timer will count down those 13 hours.

Should the fasting window include my sleep?

This is down to personal preference, but typically people do include sleep within their fasting window. Sleep is a core part of most popular fasting schedules, e.g., the 16:8 method. For example, you can set an overnight fast from 6pm to midday the following day, representing your entire 16-hour fasting window.

How do I edit my current fasting period once I've started?

To change when your fast started, tap the pencil icon next to the start time (just beneath the timer).

You can edit the time the fast ended once you press the 'End Fast' button. Click the pencil icon next to the time under the 'End' heading.

You can also cancel a running fast by tapping the 3 horizontal dots (to the right of 'Fasting Plan').

Can I backdate my fasts?

Yes, you can do this when outside of a fasting window (when the timer isn't currently counting down). Tap the 3 horizontal dots next to the 'Start Fasting' button > 'Add Fast'.

Can I drink during my fast?

Yes. We recommend staying hydrated throughout the day, even during your fasting period. Water is the best choice, but other unsweetened, zero-calorie drinks are OK too - black coffee, herbal tea and black tea.

Why can't I find the Intermittent Fasting setting in my app?

Please ensure you have our latest app version installed on your device. As long as you have at least version 13.0.0 (iOS and Android), the feature should be available to you.

Tap the blue menu button in your diary (next to the search bar) > 'Intermittent Fasting'.

(Please note: intermittent fasting will not show for pregnant or breastfeeding individuals).
