6/11Nuts and seeds make for a filling snack
A handful of nuts along with a glass of water can also make for an excellent meal. They are also super healthy, so a mix of trail nuts and seeds can provide plenty of nutrition.
07/11Include some form of a probiotic
Your gut needs to 'restart' post a long fasting stretch. Probiotics, which are good for smoothening your digestion (and boost immunity too) should also be included in some form or the other. Yoghurt, kefir or fermented grains can be helpful.
08/11Avoid carb-loaded or sugary meals
Anything heavy, be it high carb or high sugar should be avoided when you break your fast. They should instead be slowly reintroduced into the system. Something super high on sugar can disrupt glucose readings.
09/11Skip out processed foods
Anything processed like packaged foods, chips or ready to eat meals should be largely avoided too. A lot of these meals contain trans fats, refined flour or sugar and other added chemicals which can crash your digestive system. They can also be too heavy on the system and a little difficult to digest. Some also consider meat a big no-no.
10/11What to have when you are having an extended fast?
An extended fast often requires you to go without eating for more than 24 hours. Some extreme versions, such a water fasting go on for longer hours and this non-eating pattern can end up confusing the body. It can also cause GI discomfort. So, when you do eat, you need to be all the more careful-from the portion size to what you eat.
