Before the fast:

• Eat regularly throughout the day
• Drink extra water throughout the day
• Avoid salty foods such as sauerkraut, pickles, soy sauce, eggplant
• Avoid spicing your food
• You may have one extra serving of protein at dinner and one extra fruit
• Good fruits to eat before a fast include watermelon, grapes, and pineapple

After the fast:

• Drink 2 cups of water
• This is your budget, preferably in this order but you may also switch the order if you wish:

One complete approved meal

Up to 3 fruits

1 snack

1 treat if needed

Remember, you can NOT make up all the calories of one day in a short time span.

If fasting half a day: 

When breaking your fast, start with either a breakfast meal or a lunch meal, and then move on to have the rest of the day’s food (minus the meal you skipped)

Have an easy fast!
