Five Foods To Never Break A Fast With
- Avoid breaking a fast with processed carbs, fruit juices/smoothies, dirty protein shakes, seed oils, or mixed carb+fat meals.
- These foods spike insulin, convert fructose to liver fat, cause inflammation, and block fat metabolism.
Best Foods To Break A Fast
- Break your fast with protein+fat meals like eggs in butter with avocado, clean protein shakes, bone broth, steak and eggs, or a fatty salad.
- These options keep insulin low, support fat burning, and promote energy and healing.
Pure Fats Can Preserve Fasting Benefits
- Pure fats during a fast can enhance ketones, feed mitochondria, calm inflammation, and support hormones.
- Fats may also help gallbladder bile production to ease later digestion when breaking the fast.
