Foods that don’t “break your fast”
None of these foods or beverages count as “breaking your fast”, and are helpful when you need to fill up without doing so. (Hot liquids like tea or broth are especially good at satiating hunger.) Of course, many of these still contain calories, so don’t overdo it!!
- Water (obviously)
- Gum
- Tea
- Coffee
- Sugar-free syrups in drinks, if you’re craving something sweet
- Broth
- Anything you can make in a Keurig machine
- Diet soda
- Apple sauce
- Cucumber/ celery/lettuce (they’re like 99% water)
Feel free to add some I may have forgotten, and remember to stay safe! 😘
NOTE: since I’ve been mcfricken roasted about how these “actually break a true fast” and are “literally fucking sugar”, this list is meant for people with eds who fast excessively. I understand that healthy fasting is meant to give your system a break, but fasting for 48+ hours definitely doesn’t fit into that category. If someone needs to get their blood-sugar up because they’re going to pass out but refuse to eat because they don’t want to break their fast, then “literally fucking sugar” is a pretty damn good idea. If someone doesn’t want to break their fast but is having heart palpitations, then foods that would break a “true” fast are acceptable. I absolutely DO NOT ENDORSE eating disorders, nor would I ever wish someone to have one. I am simply giving people who are still sick or seeking help options and teaching them that eating is GOOD and keeps you alive. I don’t want anyone to hurt themselves simply because they refuse to break a 38-hour fast.
If you’re fasting for health, ignore this post. Even better, read the tags for the intended audience before you put in your two cents. I can’t believe I have to explain myself to you.
