My First Fast day...tips?

[Mr Rager]

Gents I'm a week into my "get right" plan and I'm doing a fast today. What tips do you have for staying focused during a fast? I think I'm just doing 24 hrs today and will try a 48 hr fast in 2 weeks.
What should i eat to break the fast?

Coffee without sugar and milk has less than 5 calories. Either way, a fast can mean low calories, it doesn't have to be zero calories

Absolutes are one of the reasons people fail at diets on the regular. Focus on improving rather than following rules to a T...

Doesn't negate my statement however and I didn't invalidate what he's doing. Just stating that if your body has to digest something the fast is broken

Boesky isn't wrong. For the benefits you are probably initially seeking it may not matter but if you get deeper into fasting that is something to keep in mind.
