Help me come out of a fast

[Claddah]

If you don't want my life story go directly to the bold, I'm coming out of a fast into intermittent fasting and want recipes.

I thought I was gonna fast for 10+days but after 4 the results are astonishing, so maybe another day or two. Although I didn't have much to lose to begin with, I do not want to put it back on again, so I am thinking of coming out of this fast with intermittent fasting.

I am currently un-employed its why I finally took the opportunity to fast, and man it was easy when you don't work lol. I will find myself a job in about a month after I have a new routine down.

I am not new to the gym but my routine while effective has gotten stale. It's also why I didn't have much to lose, kept my furnace big. I won't be looking to bulk for about a month or so and will make a post in the other forums about a new workout routine so check that one out.

I am basically looking for your favorite recipes for keeping slim as I have NEVER done this before. I usually cooked tasty hearty meals and ate to my hearts content(big furnace), and I know if I do that I'll just put it all back on again.

So please post links or copy and paste your fav recipes for slimming down..... Because I do NOT WANT TO THINK when given a list of random foods people like, especially with all the variants. I want to make RECIPES because that take the brain work out of it, and then I will tailor what i like to my needs. Or what I should avoid, like sugary sauces.

I started at, 6ft 215 pounds looking to get down to 190ish, I don't know where I am now but will use intermittent fasting to lose the rest as it will be more of a lifestyle change to keep it off. Final goal is to get back up to 205 with leaner muscle.

If your wondering why I didn't post before I began is because apparently it works against your psychology to post/talk about something before actually undertaking the task, and yes I have read your man Stevesmi stickied post, and will keep those points in mind even if they are for bulking.

@Claddah Welcome to the EF family we dont want to post links but lets talk about you more.

Have you ever fasted before? what are your stats now?

 

[stevesmi]

after 2-3 days of fasting your digestion shuts down which is good. this allows your gut to repair cells.

so when you break your fast its smart to stick to single ingredient and easy to digest foods. something like melon or PLAIN bone broth (it shouln't have any sort of garlic, onion, spices etc) are popular ways to break a fast.

also never go into a situation where you plan a long fast. take it day by day. as long as you aren't experiencing vomitting or diarhea you can keep going. but if something does happen its good to break the fast

I know Stevesmi has done 10+ days but I never would

I'd also advise you to get a job now. The idea of one being available at a date to suit is not how life works
