This is the PROPER way to BREAK the FAST!
Fasting for less than 24 hours? You probably wonder how crucial it is to mindfully conclude a brief period of fasting. While it might seem less significant, it is still important to choose your foods wisely when you break a fast.
When you finally decide to indulge after fasting, resist the urge to reach for sugary foods like
ice cream, fruit, or fruit juices
. These simple sugars can trigger a notable insulin spike because your body, following a period of abstinence, will respond exuberantly to whatever nourishment you introduce.
To counter drastic insulin spikes, start your meal with a generous portion of vegetables,
specifically leafy greens
. Fiber-rich foods control glucose and inevitably maintain a balanced insulin response.
Alternatively, integrating foods rich in healthy fats ensures that your body receives energy while maintaining steady insulin levels. Fats do not lead to a massive rise in insulin, providing a calm transition back to regular eating.
- Avoid simple sugars post-fast towersiciency.
- Include fiber-rich greens in your meal plan.
- Integrate healthy fats to stabilize insulin levels.
