Tips: how to fast

How to fastThe degree of severity of the post -everyone's personal business. Much depends on lifestyle and health. To a reasonable extent, abstaining from food is useful, but if you work for two in a crisis, you risk harming yourself. Therefore, before you decide on a strict post, consult with the confessor. If you are not a particularly religious person, but for internal reasons you decide to pass the test of fasting, it is important to know the general rules. General rules

Alcohol is not allowed to drink on all days of fasting (except red wine on weekends and holidays).
It is forbidden to eat products of animal origin (meat, fish, milk and eggs) and, accordingly, anything that contains them.
On the Annunciation of the Most Holy Theotokos (April 7) and Palm Sunday (April 12), fish is allowed, and on Lazarus Saturday (April 11) you can eat caviar.

Strict fast With strict fasting there are a lot of other restrictions.

Vegetable oil is consumed only on Saturdays and Sundays.
On Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays, dry food is accepted (water, bread, raw fruits and vegetables, dried fruits, honey, nuts - as a rule, food that has not been heat-treated).
On Tuesdays and Thursdays you can eat hot food without oil.
Many during fasting refuse tea and coffee as stimulating drinks, spices designed to improve the taste of food, soy meat and cheese substitutes that facilitate the task and distort the meaning of fasting.
The strictest weeks of Lent are the first and the last (Holy Week). On Clean Monday (March 2) – complete abstinence from food. Other days, except Saturday and Sunday – dry food.
The week of the Veneration of the Cross (fourth week) is also distinguished by its strictness.

Lenten tips

Drink plenty of water (to prevent dehydration).
When fasting, focus on the meaning of the fast, not on the fact of abstaining from food.
Keep in mind: the smell of cinnamon or cloves helps with hunger pangs.
Since the stomach weakens during Lent, do not overindulge in fried and salty foods (sauerkraut), and on holidays – smoked fish.
