Fasting isn’t just about the hours you don’t eat — it’s also about how you nourish yourself before and after. The meals surrounding your fast play a huge role in how your body transitions in and out of autophagy smoothly.
Before your fast, your goal is to prepare your body. Choose foods that keep blood sugar stable and provide slow, steady energy — healthy fats, fiber, and clean protein. This helps you enter fasting mode gently, without cravings or fatigue.
After your fast, it’s time to rebuild without overwhelming your system. Start light, hydrate well, and let your digestion wake up gradually. The first meal after fasting is like the first words of a conversation with your cells — what you say matters.
When done right, this cycle of nourishment and rest becomes seamless. Your energy stays steady, your metabolism stays balanced, and your body learns to flow between fasting and feeding with ease.
