The rest of the time: Monday, Wednesday, Friday - dry food: water, bread, fruits, vegetables, compotes. On Tuesdays and Thursdays - hot food without fat.

The purification of the body must be combined with the purification of the soul. True fasting is to turn away from evil, to restrain the tongue, to humble anger, to tame lust, to put an end to slander and lies.
Reasonable abstinence from certain foods during Easter fasting is useful for the body because it really has a cleansing effect. But the church gives some groups of people permission not to fast.

What Can Be Eaten At Night?
If we have to follow the rule of healthy eating, then we have no chance to have dinner at all after six o'clock in the evening. But most people end their work day just then and are really very hungry. And if for the first one or two hours after work a person can satisfy his hunger with a tea, then at ten o'clock in the evening his stomach starts to sing his hungry song, and the refrigerator is just waiting for someone to open it.
Desserts During Lent
During the Easter fast you can indulge in various desserts without violating the church canon. Eggs, milk and dairy products are not used in these desserts. Lean biscuits become delicious. Ingredients: 6 cups flour, 2 cups starch, 1 cup oil, 1 teaspoon baking soda, a pinch of salt, half a teaspoon of vinegar, a cup and a half of water, 2 cups sugar.
These Foods Are Mandatory During Lent
Christmas fasting has begun and anyone who wants to purify their body and soul has given up animal products. In order not to harm yourself, you need to know what foods to choose and how to consume them. Vegetables and fruits in combination with basic carbohydrate foods - these are the mandatory elements of a proper and healthy Christmas fast.

How To Taste It During Lent
Easter fasts are a real torture for people who want to observe them, but constantly think about the delicacies they are forced to deprive themselves of. The main mistake is to eat the way you are used to before fasting, by simply excluding meat and animal products from your menu.
