Break your fast right

Protein and fat first, carbs last, salt early. The longer the fast, the gentler the first bite.

Your 16h refeed plan
Tune profile

Four gentle steps, tuned to your profile, so you land out of the fast instead of crashing out of it.

Fast length
  1. 1
    First 10–15 minutes
    🍲 Warm mineral bone broth

    Warm and salty wakes the gut without a glucose spike.

  2. 2
    20–30 minutes in — first real plate
    🥑 Avocado & soft egg bowl

    Protein and fat first. No carbs yet: this is what stops the post-fast crash.

  3. 3
    Main meal of your window
    🐟 Salmon over wilted greens

    Omega-3s plus potassium and magnesium from greens replace what the fast used up.

  • •Protein and fat first, carbs last, salt early.
  • •Chew far longer than feels necessary — your digestive enzymes have been idle.
  • •Stop at comfortably satisfied, not full. Post-fast hunger over-reports.
  • •A 10-minute walk after the main meal blunts the glucose response.
