How to prepare depends on your current health. When I started IMF, I had such blood sugar issues from bad diet and being overweight that, I doubt I would have lived through a 72 hour fast. I started just by skipping lunch a couple weeks. Then I worked up to a 20 hour fast every day with a 4 hour eating window. Now, 4 years later and 160 lbs. lighter 72 hours isn't such a big deal.
I would recommend doing a 24 first and see how it goes. One thing to think of though is when you do eat again, you want the healthiest and best nutrition with a low glycemic impact. Fasting will cause you to be much more sensitive to insulin.
