🥑 HOW TO BREAK YOUR FAST (12 PM or 1st meal):
Best meal combo:
- Protein + healthy fat + fiber
- Examples:
- Scrambled eggs + avocado + sautéed spinach
- Chicken breast + olive oil salad + chia pudding
❗ Avoid sugary or high-carb meals when breaking the fast. It spikes insulin and can cause fatigue.
📅 WEEKLY FREQUENCY:
- Start with 3–4 days/week
- Work up to 5–6 days/week
- Combine with rest days or family meals strategically
💡 EXTRA TIPS:
- Add sea salt to water in the morning to avoid dizziness
- Use apple cider vinegar (1 tsp) before meals for glycemic control
- Track how you feel: energy, hunger, focus
- Be flexible: one imperfect day doesn’t ruin progress
🚫 WHO SHOULD AVOID FASTING:
- Pregnant or breastfeeding women
- People with a history of eating disorders
- Diabetics or medicated users (unless monitored)
🧘 MINDSET MATTERS:
This is not a punishment. It’s a strategy to free you from constant hunger, mental fog, and food obsession. You are not skipping meals — you are regaining control of your body.
