List of products and dishes for fasting after the New Year’s feast

Hearty dishes, plenty of salads, exquisitely cooked fatty meat — all this you can see on the New Year’s table. However, the holidays are over and it is time to take care of your body.

A common consequence of the New Year’s feast is overeating, bloating and stomach heaviness. The fasting menu will allow you to feel lightness in the stomach, cleanse the body of toxins and eliminate rapid fatigability and drowsiness.

The main step for whole body recovery is the exclusion or minimization of the following dishes and products:

  • high carbohydrate dishes (fast food, fatty foods);
  • bread and bakery products;
  • high-calorie desserts;
  • sausages;
  • canned food, soda and Tetra Pak juices.
