Tag: Fasting foods to avoid

Experts state that refeeding too quickly after a period of starvation, even as short as 4 days for some individuals, can cause a serious and potentially fatal condition known as refeeding syndrome. For this reason, a careful approach to breaking a prolonged fast is crucial.

According to a study in the journal *Nutrients*, any macronutrient consumption can trigger an insulin response, which technically breaks a fast. This means understanding what you are not allowed to eat when fasting is crucial for achieving your health goals, whether for weight loss, metabolic health, or cellular repair (autophagy).
