Breaking the fast

This is the first fast since I started watching what I eat (actually, the first one was Friday night so it doesn't count). Until now, breaking my fast was with cake and juice. Obviously, that's out.

Any ideas?

    I've posted before that people can actually gain weight during a fast. You are basically only skipping breakfast and lunch, and if you overeat the night before and the night of, you are in big trouble.

    Having said that, if you want cake and juice, why not? The question is, what else are you doing to be eating after the fast.

    Cake is actually the only food that I totally cut out of my diet. I don't need it and it was never a very important part of my life.
