How you break a fast matters more than the fast itself.

The first meal after a 24-hour fast should be moderate in size, protein-led, with cooked vegetables and a slow carb source — not raw salad, not a high-fat or high-sugar meal. Reduces digestive discomfort and avoids a glucose spike on an empty stomach.

Evidence: medium easier digestion smoother glucose response better adherence to next fast

Full transcript

How you break a fast matters more than the fast itself. After twenty-four hours without food, your first meal should be moderate and protein-led — cooked vegetables, a slow carb. What to skip: a giant raw salad, anything high-fat or high-sugar, alcohol, and caffeine on an empty stomach. Do it right and digestion stays easy and glucose stays smooth. agegen.ai.
