Most people focus on fasting…
But how you break the fast is just as important as the fast itself.
If you refeed wrong, you can get:
• Energy crashes
• Stomach issues
• Intense hunger
• Rapid water regain
Here’s the simple protocol I use and recommend 👇
(See graphic for the visual version)
🥣 1. Break the fast gradually
Start with something light:
✔ Bone broth
✔ A handful of almonds
✔ A few bites of lean protein
This wakes your digestive system back up without shocking it.
🥦 2. Prioritize protein & greens
Your body is ready to rebuild.
Give it:
✔ Moderate protein
✔ Low-carb vegetables
This supports muscle, electrolytes, and nutrient replenishment.
🥑 3. Add healthy fats
Once your stomach settles, include:
✔ Avocado
✔ Olive oil
✔ Butter
✔ Animal fats
This stabilizes blood sugar and keeps hunger low.
⏳ 4. Respect the refeed window
Eat within a controlled eating window, then return to your fasting plan.
This prevents overeating and keeps you in metabolic control.
