Your personal fasting & mindfulness planner

Why many fasting plans don't work

Fasting is ubiquitous today.
16:8, 5:2, OMAD, therapeutic fasting, juice fasting—the choices are endless.
And yet, many people fail not because of a lack of willpower, but because of the implementation.

What is lacking is rarely information.
What is lacking is orientation, rhythm and inner guidance.

This is exactly where the RetreatPartner fasting and mindfulness planner comes in:
an app that not only calculates fasting times, but also understands fasting as a conscious process that can be integrated into everyday life—individual, mindful and holistic.

What makes this fasting app special?

The RetreatPartner Fasting & Mindfulness Planner is not a diet tool.
It is a digital companion that guides you step by step through your personal fasting period.

Instead of blanket specifications, the app creates:

  • a personalized fasting plan

  • tailored to the type of fast, duration, daily routine and experience

  • with clear daily structures

  • Recipes with quantities

  • and carefully selected yoga, breathing, meditation and mindfulness exercises that support fasting

Fasting thus becomes not a challenge, but a harmonious rhythm.

All common types of fasting – combined in one app

The app allows you to choose from all common and proven forms of fasting, including:
Intermittent fasting

  • 12:12

  • 14:10

  • 16:8

  • 18:6

  • 20:4

  • OMAD (One Meal A Day)

Cyclical & calorie-reduced models

  • 5:2 fasting

  • 6:1 fasting

  • Alternate Day Fasting (ADF)

  • Modified fasting (e.g., 800-calorie approach)

The app automatically adjusts content, intensity and recommendations to the selected method.

More than just fasting periods: your structured daily schedule

A key added value of the app is the concrete daily schedule.
Instead of abstract rules, you receive clear guidance:

  • Fasting & eating window

  • Times for meals or liquids

  • Recipes with exact quantities

  • Gentle exercise & regulation

  • Mental and emotional support

This way, you not only know what you are fasting, but also how your day can feel harmonious.

Recipes that support fasting – not interfere with it

If food is provided, the app relies on:

  • Easily digestible dishes

  • Low-inflammatory ingredients

  • Clear portion sizes

  • Simple preparation

Each recipe contains:

  • Ingredient list with gram and milliliter measurements

  • Step-by-step instructions

  • Adaptation to dietary requirements (vegan, vegetarian, gluten-free, etc.)

This way, the meal window remains supportive – not overwhelming.

Fasting-specific exercises – targeted rather than random

A unique feature of the app is the targeted selection of exercises that are directly tailored to fasting processes.

Examples of integrated forms of practice

  • Breathing exercises that:

    • Regulate cravings

    • Activate the parasympathetic nervous system

    • Reduce stress reactions

  • Yoga sequences that:

    • Support detoxification organs

    • Stabilize circulation

    • Gently mobilize energy

  • Meditations that:

    • Become aware of emotional eating

    • Promote inner peace

    • Deepen fasting as a conscious experience

  • Mindfulness exercises that:

    • Ritualize breaking the fast

    • Strengthen body awareness

    • Promote self-care

Each exercise is explained with:

  • Procedure

  • Duration

  • Desired effect

Who is the fasting app suitable for?

The app is aimed at people who:

  • Want to consciously implement intermittent fasting or other forms of fasting

  • Are looking for a clear plan that is suitable for everyday use

  • Understand fasting not as self-optimization, but as a path to health and awareness

  • Want to meaningfully integrate yoga, meditation or mindfulness

  • Want structure without dogma

It is not a medical tool, but rather a mindful guide.

PDF export: Your fasting plan to take with you

At the end, you can download your entire plan as a PDF file:

  • Clearly laid out

  • with daily plans, recipes and exercises

  • Ideal for printing or offline use

This turns the app into a personal fasting journal.

Why an app works better than a general fasting plan

Fasting is individual.
Your everyday life, your body, your stress level and your experience are unique.

A static plan cannot reflect this.
A dynamic fasting and mindfulness planner can.

The app connects:

  • Structure and flexibility

  • Science and body awareness

  • Clarity and mindfulness


What exactly does the RetreatPartner fasting and mindfulness app do?

The app creates personalized fasting plans that are not only based on a specific method, but also on your everyday life, how your body feels and your experience.
It combines:

  • The chosen type of fasting

  • A suitable duration

  • Specific daily structures

  • Recipes with quantities

  • As well as specifically selected yoga, breathing, meditation and mindfulness exercises

The goal is not discipline, but orientation, clarity and inner stability during fasting.

Do I need to have previous experience with fasting to use the app?

No.
The app distinguishes between beginners, advanced users and experienced users and adapts:

  • Fasting intensity

  • Exercise duration

  • Daily structure

automatically.
The app can be particularly helpful for beginners because it prevents them from feeling overwhelmed and provides guidance.

Which types of fasting are specifically supported?

The app supports all common forms of fasting, including:

  • Intermittent fasting (12:12, 14:10, 16:8, 18:6, 20:4, OMAD)

  • 5:2 and 6:1 fasting

  • Alternate Day Fasting

  • Therapeutic fasting according to Buchinger

  • Water, juice and alkaline fasting

  • Fake fasting (FMD according to Longo)

  • Ayurvedic forms of fasting

  • Spiritually conscious variants such as silent or mindful fasting

Depending on the method, the entire plan structure changes automatically.

How does the app ensure that the exercises are suitable for fasting?

All exercises are specifically selected for fasting.
This means:

  • No intense, exhausting workouts

  • Focus on regulation rather than performance

  • Breathing exercises to regulate blood sugar and stress

  • Yoga to relieve the digestive system, liver and nervous system

  • Meditations to accompany hunger, emotions and emptiness

Each exercise is explained with its sequence and desired effect so that it is clear why it is useful at this particular point.

What happens if I feel hungry, restless or doubtful during fasting?

That's exactly what the app is for.
It deliberately integrates:

  • Breathing exercises for hunger pangs

  • Meditations to distinguish between hunger and emotion

  • Mindfulness prompts for restlessness

  • Gentle movements for circulation or tension issues

Fasting is recognized as a process with ups and downs – not as a linear path to success.

Is the app suitable for women in all stages of life?

Basically, yes – with mindfulness.
The app does not recommend rigid rules, but rather flexible rhythms.
This is especially true for women:

  • Gentler methods are often more effective

  • Your cycle, stress and sleep play a major role

  • Breaks and adjustments are expressly permitted

The app encourages you to take your own body seriously, not to ignore it.
