Adopt the right attitudes to make your fast effective

Assess the effectiveness of your fasting method and make changes accordingly.
Assess yourself after you complete a fast. For example, if you haven’t reached your desired weight after an occasional fast, you can increase the frequency or duration of the fast until you reach your goals.

Avoid scheduling your fasts during periods of festivities like Christmas and Thanksgiving.
These periods are characterized by feasting so the temptation to eat will likely be huge.

Make time to feast.
Remember, you can’t fast all year round, so it’s imperative you make time to feast and also enjoy some of your best foods. After all, you will easily balance these moments with times of fasting.
