Hello everyone! Just wondering what other people do to break their fast I fast between 14-16 hrs.
I've been doing bone broth and mct oil (add a rice cake on lifting days) then wait 30 mins before grabbing my meals. I also drink kombucha twice a week before I get anything in my stomach to keep my microbiome in check.
Just curious how others break their fast and what your reason is behind it

Most people break their fast with breakfast... hence the name.12

Haha I'm aware but those who practice fasting longer than just going to bed - wake up - eat cycle have different ways of breaking their fast since you deplete minerals etc when you do intermittent fasting and having a heavy meal right after causes some people stomach upset. Was just curious what other people who practice intermittent fasting are doing ☺12 -
I just eat. Dinner is usually no later than 7pm and I won't eat again until about 12pm the next day.5

When I did it, I just ate lunch.3

If I am doing 16:8 I break my fast with....Lunch. Nothing fancy, just whatever I'm eating for lunch. Today I haven't yet decided. Probably eggs and toast. I'm only using that schedule because it allows me larger or more calorific meals while still being in a deficit. I haven't really bought into all the other supposed benefits of IF. More research still needs to be done.5

Everyone who eats dinner and then sleeps and eats in the morning is also intermittently fasting which is my point. The only difference is you are waiting 2 to 4 hours longer than almost everyone who eats 3 meals at the usual times.

Unless I'm doing an extended fast, pretty much anything longer than 24-36 hrs, I just eat normally. For longer fasts, I tend to break them by drinking some bone broth, then a smaller meal, then return to eating as normal.1

I think you're overthinking this. A 14-16 hour fast isn't something so extreme that it requires any special way of eating.
I 'more or less' usually do 16:8, just because it fits my eating pattern. When I break my fast, I eat a normal breakfast/lunch meal (according to whatever I feel like).
Eat whatever you want and what works best for you.2 -
I don't say I practice intermittent fasting, but tonight I had dinner at 6:30pm and tomorrow I will eat breakfast at 9am. That's more than 14 hours between meals, but I just consider that normal eating, nothing special.2

I IF a few days of the week because it's easier for my work schedule, plus I get the benefit of a larger dinner/snacks in the evening. I usually wait to break-fast at 2pm with a light lunch.0
