What is fasting in Welmi?
Intermittent fasting in Welmi means a scheduled break between meals — for example, an overnight pause between dinner and the next day's first meal. It is not extreme restriction or starvation. The fasting block on the Nutrition tab tracks your eating window and fasting periods automatically.
Setting up your plan
Find the intermittent fasting block on the Nutrition tab.
Tap the > button to the right of the block header.
Open the plan settings.
Select a plan (16:8, 14:10, etc.).
Confirm your selection.
The timer begins tracking immediately.
Changing your schedule
Switching plans: open the block settings (>) → choose a different plan → confirm.
Manual adjustment: open the block settings (>) → Manual Setup → adjust start/end times → confirm.
Note: Changing your schedule mid-session may recalculate your accumulated time.
Ramadan / religious fasting
Use Manual Setup and set the fasting end time to match iftar or your designated meal break.
