The first week of fasting is over and I slowly accustomed to the change. Of course I’m craving for sweets every now and then but it’s amazing how fast you can adjust to new circumstances. Most important for me is a good breakfast that helps you to start each day with energy. I haven’t made any changes with regards to my breakfast since I’m having overnight oats with fruit for breakfast for years now. I love it because it only takes little time to prepare because the only thing you need to do in the morning is to add fruit to it.
Another important aspect to be able to resist sweets are little snacks between the three main meals. Normally I have some fruit around 10 a.m. and 3 p.m. which helps to prevent hunger and gives new energy. For lunch I often eat warm so either vegetables with wholegrain pasta or bulgur, soup or rice dishes. One of my favorite rice dishes is asparagus risotto. I could eat this dish three days in a row. Find the recipe here.
I hardly eat any meat anymore without any particular reason just because I don’t feel like it. In the evening I’m happy with a small dinner, especially after working out I’m looking forward to a plain yoghurt with fruit or a wholegrain bread with cottage cheese. Sometimes I also still replace dinner with a delicious homemade juice. Some recipes you’ll find here.
