Eating After You Fast

What is the best thing to eat after I fast?

The answer is simple. Pretend that your fast never happened. Don’t compensate yourself. Don’t reward yourself. Don’t eat special foods, shakes, or drinks, or take any pills.

Simply erase the fast from your memory, and begin eating responsibly again – the same way you would normally eat at that specific time of day.

If you end your fast at dinner time, eat dinner. If you end your fast a 4 p.m., but don’t normally have dinner until 7 p.m., eat a light snack, but nothing larger than you would usually eat at that time of day.

There is nothing magical to ending a fast. Pretend like it never happened, and resume eating in your normal way.
