Why even talk about refeeding so early on in the podcast episodes?

I think that a lot of people who come across this podcast will be right in the middle of a dry fast. Whether you’ve extended water fasted or dry fasted, you know that most of your fasting research happens DURING the fast. I think we’re all aware that as you’re twiddling your thumbs thinking about food, you LOVE to just plop yourself down in front of your phone or computer screen, and start trying to prove to yourself, that this torture you’re going through, is worth it. I mean we’ve all done it! and that, is my reasoning to touch on this topic earlier rather than later. If you’re fasting and nearing the end, the refeed is your next step. And arguably, its going to be your most important step. Not only is it going to be your next step, it’s going to most likely be cut too short or not done correctly. From people’s experiences, I’m aware that most people don’t view the refeed as being THAT important. You constantly hear people try to break it gently, but instead of continuing over a few days, they’ll just go straight to meat and eggs. Sometimes still on the first day! Nothing wrong with meat and eggs when it comes to a nutritional stand point, and I know many athletes that have wandered into the world of fasting that love a good steak, but it’s important to remember that meat is very heavy on the digestive system. What I mean by this is that meat stays in your digestive system longer than most other foods. The protein contained in meat (especially red meat due to fat content) is harder for our body to break down, and this can cause bloating. A good way to remember which meat is easier to digest is to remember that the low fat meat will be the easiest to digest and absorb. So leaner cuts will be broken down faster than ones with lots of gristle.
