Worm Prevention Support

12 pm — Breaking the Fast

Salmon & Egg Break-Fast Plate

1. Break your fast with protein and fat — not carbohydrates. This prevents the sharp insulin spike from carbohydrates after a 16-hour fast, maintaining the metabolic benefits.
2. Scramble eggs slowly in butter on low heat until creamy.
3. Sauté spinach in olive oil 1–2 minutes. Plate everything with sliced avocado.
4. Eat slowly. After 16 hours of fasting, the digestive system needs gentle reintroduction — avoid large portions immediately.

3 pm — Main Meal

Herb-Roasted Chicken with Sweet Potato & Vegetables

1. Preheat oven to 200°C. Toss sweet potato and vegetables with 2 tbsp olive oil, garlic, and herbs.
2. Rub chicken with remaining olive oil and herbs. Place on tray with vegetables.
3. Roast 22–25 minutes until chicken is cooked and vegetables have caramelised edges.
4. Squeeze lemon over everything before serving.

6 pm — Final Meal (fasting window begins after this)

Light Fish Dinner with Green Vegetables

1. Pan-sear fish in olive oil 3–4 minutes per side over medium heat.
2. Steam or roast asparagus and courgette alongside. Wilt spinach in the pan.
3. Plate and squeeze lemon over everything. Keep the meal light — you want digestion complete before sleep for better overnight autophagy.
4. Drink herbal tea 30 minutes after. After this, fasting window begins — water, black tea, and herbal tea only until 12 pm tomorrow.

Fasting Day — Breakfast (~150 kcal)

Two-Egg Fasting Breakfast

1. Boil, poach, or scramble eggs without added oil or butter on a fasting day.
2. Season lightly with sea salt. Drink plenty of water.
3. Black coffee can be taken before this meal — it extends the fasting window's metabolic benefit.
4. Total: approximately 140–150 kcal. Remaining 350–450 kcal budget is for dinner.

Fasting Day — Dinner (~400 kcal)

Fasting Day White Fish Plate

1. Steam or bake fish in foil with lemon, herbs, and a tiny amount of olive oil. 15 minutes at 180°C.
2. Steam broccoli and courgette 5–7 minutes until tender but not mushy.
3. Dress salad with lemon juice only (no oil) to keep calories low.
4. Total plate: approximately 335–370 kcal. Well within the 500 kcal fasting day budget.

Non-Fasting Day — Dinner (unrestricted)

Mediterranean Salmon with Legumes

1. Roast vegetables with 2 tbsp olive oil at 200°C for 20 minutes.
2. Pan-sear salmon in remaining olive oil 3–4 minutes per side.
3. Toss chickpeas or lentils through the roasted vegetables.
4. Plate and squeeze lemon over. Normal day — eat to comfortable fullness.

Morning (8 am) — Optional Light Breakfast

Soaked Almond & Ginger Awakening

1. The night before: place almonds in a bowl, cover with water, soak overnight at room temperature.
2. In the morning: drain almonds and peel the skins off (they slide off easily after soaking — peel is astringent).
3. Eat almonds slowly and chew thoroughly. Digestive enzyme activity is still low at 8 am.
4. Drink ginger tea alongside — ginger gently awakens Agni without overstimulating digestion.
5. Keep this meal very small — the purpose is to gently start digestion, not to fully feed.

Midday (12–1 pm) — Main Meal at Peak Agni

Golden Kitchari — Ayurvedic Complete Meal

1. Rinse mung dal and rice until water runs clear.
2. Heat ghee in a pot over medium heat. Add cumin seeds and cook 30 seconds until fragrant.
3. Add ginger, turmeric, and coriander. Stir 30 seconds.
4. Add dal and rice, stir to coat in ghee and spices. Pour in water or broth.
5. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, cover and cook 25–30 minutes until dal breaks down into a thick, porridge-like consistency.
6. Stir in cooked vegetables 5 minutes before end. Season with sea salt.
7. Eat this as the main meal of the day, mindfully, sitting down, without screens. Agni is strongest now.

Evening (before 6 pm) — Light Closing Meal

Light Vegetable Broth Soup

1. Simmer vegetables in broth with spices 15–20 minutes until very soft.
2. Blend half or all for a smooth soup if desired. Stir in ghee at the end.
3. Eat before 6 pm. This should be light and easy to digest — the digestive system is slowing down.
4. After this meal: only herbal tea and water. The 14–16 hour overnight fast begins here.

Evening Before the Fast — Final Pre-Fast Meal

High-Fat, High-Protein Pre-Fast Plate

1. This meal should be substantial but not overly large. Eat until satisfied, not stuffed.
2. Roast salmon and vegetables at 200°C for 20 minutes with olive oil.
3. Scramble eggs in remaining olive oil. Serve everything together.
4. After this meal: stop eating. The fast begins now. Last coffee or herbal tea allowed until bedtime.

During the Fast (Days 1–3) — Fasting Drink Protocol

Electrolyte Fasting Water

1. Mix electrolyte water each morning. Drink at least 2.5–3L of fluid daily during the fast.
2. Sip throughout the day rather than drinking large volumes at once.
3. Hunger peaks at hours 16–20 and again at hour 36 — these are temporary. After hour 48, many people experience a significant reduction in hunger.
4. If feeling weak, dizzy, or experiencing heart palpitations: increase sea salt immediately — this is low sodium, not low blood sugar.
5. Do not exercise intensely during hours 24–48 — light walking only. Light exercise is fine after hour 48.

Breaking the Fast (End of Hour 72) — Refeeding Protocol

Bone Broth Refeeding Sequence

1. CRITICAL: Do not break an extended fast with a large meal. Refeeding syndrome is a medical risk with electrolyte imbalance.
2. Start with 200ml warm bone broth. Sip slowly over 20 minutes.
3. Wait at least 2 hours before eating anything else. Let the digestive system re-activate gently.
4. First solid meal: 2 scrambled eggs + ¼ avocado + a little cooked spinach. Small portion.
5. Wait 4 hours before eating a fuller meal. Eat only until moderately satisfied — do not eat a large meal to 'make up' for the fast.
6. Day after the fast: normal eating resumes. The cells have completed their autophagy cycle.

Pre-Meal (10 minutes before eating)

Digestive Activation Bone Broth

1. Warm broth gently. Do not boil.
2. Drink 10–15 minutes before the main OMAD meal.
3. This re-activates the digestive enzyme cascade that has been dormant for 22+ hours, preventing the digestive distress that can come from eating a large meal after a long fast.

Main OMAD Meal (5–7 pm) — Complete Nutrition in One Plate

Complete OMAD Nourishment Plate

1. Preheat oven to 200°C. Bake sweet potato whole 40 minutes (or use pre-cooked from the day before).
2. Toss broccoli and capsicum with 2 tbsp olive oil, garlic, herbs. Roast 20 minutes alongside the potato.
3. Pan-sear salmon or chicken in remaining oil, 4 minutes per side for salmon, 6 minutes for chicken. Finish chicken in oven if needed.
4. Wilt spinach/kale in the hot pan 1 minute.
5. Assemble the full plate: protein, roasted vegetables, leafy greens, avocado, pumpkin seeds. Squeeze lemon over everything.
6. Eat slowly over 45–60 minutes. Chew thoroughly — digestive enzyme activity needs this time after a 22-hour fast.
7. Serve yoghurt or kefir alongside for probiotics.

Post-Meal (30 minutes after eating)

Dark Chocolate & Chamomile Digestive Close

1. Wait 20–30 minutes after the main meal before eating chocolate — this is a digestive rest period, not an extended eating window.
2. Eat chocolate slowly, letting it melt.
3. Sip chamomile tea. The eating window closes after this.
4. The 22–23 hour fasting window now begins again.
