How do I set up POWER FAST the right way?
Start with three steps: (1) create your profile, (2) pick a fasting plan (beginner-friendly first), and (3) set reminders. Your first week is about consistency, not perfection.
What fasting plans are supported?
The prototype supports common patterns (example: 16:8, 18:6, 20:4). A later iteration can add custom windows, rotating schedules, and goals tied to behavior patterns.
What can I track inside the app?
Typical tracking includes: fasting start/end, adherence streaks, water intake, sleep notes, mood/energy check-ins, and optional weight logging. Keep it simple at first—track only what you will actually use.
How do reminders work?
Reminders are designed around start/stop windows plus optional “check-in” prompts. If you build this with a backend, you can pair local notifications with server-side scheduling for reliability.
What should I NOT enter into the app or community features?
Don’t enter: SSNs, bank info, private addresses, personal phone numbers, passwords, or medical records. Keep health notes high-level. In the community area, do not post private data about yourself or others.
Troubleshooting: I can’t log in / forgot password
If you have a live auth system, use a password reset flow. For this prototype site, confirm you’re using the correct username/email and avoid reused passwords.
Can I download a printable guide?
Yes—link a PDF here once you generate it. Example placeholder: UserGuide_POWERFAST.pdf.
