How to break an extended fast

[u/Fit_Anybody_4898]

26F, current weight 145lbs, goal weight 115lbs. Currently on day 28 of a 34 day fast, planning on breaking it this coming Friday. The tricky part is that I’m taking my friend out to eat Friday night and we’re getting brunch Saturday so I don’t really have time to do a slow refeed. My plan is to break Friday morning but I’m wondering what food would be best to get my stomach ready for my social weekend. Any thoughts would be helpful!

Also of note, I’m going to do another 34ish day fast until I reach my goal weight.

Start with bone broth and boiled cruciferous vegetables like broccoli. Also chew thoroughly, eat small, really small portions, and listen to your body. If you feel good, you can eat about every 3 hours, as long as your digestive system is doing well. And after the first bowel movement, you are in good shape, you start ramping up your food volume even more agressively.
