Frequently Asked Questions

What are biological fasting phases?

As you fast, your body goes through distinct biological stages: it starts by burning glucose, then transitions to fat burning, enters ketosis, activates autophagy (cellular cleanup), increases growth hormone production, improves insulin sensitivity, and triggers immune system regeneration. Nova Fast tracks all 7 phases in real-time so you can see exactly where you are in the process.

Which fasting protocols does Nova Fast support?

Nova Fast includes all popular intermittent fasting protocols: 16:8, 18:6, 20:4, OMAD (23:1), 14:10, and 12:12. You can also create fully custom fasting schedules with any fasting and eating window duration.

What is autophagy and when does it start?

Autophagy is your body's natural cellular cleanup process — it breaks down and recycles damaged cell components. It typically activates after 16-24 hours of fasting, depending on your metabolism and activity level. Nova Fast shows you when you enter the autophagy phase based on your fasting duration.

How does the gamification system work?

Every completed fast earns you experience points (XP). As you accumulate XP, you level up through 30 ranks and unlock 29 achievement badges for milestones like completing streaks, reaching fasting durations, and logging consistently. It turns building healthy fasting habits into a rewarding challenge.

Does Nova Fast have widgets?

Yes. Nova Fast includes home screen and lock screen widgets that show your fasting timer, current biological phase, and streak at a glance — without opening the app.

Can I track water intake during my fast?

Yes. Nova Fast has built-in water tracking with customizable daily goals and reminders. Staying hydrated is crucial during fasting, and the app helps you stay on top of it.
