In my recent journey in weight loss follies, I've been selecting between 1, 3, 5
days of full fasting combined with zero calorie beverages and daily trips to th
e gym. While eating normally, I consume whatever floats my boat combined with heavy lifting. But when breaking a multi-day fast, it is important to select the proper foods to kick the body back out of starvation mode and getting the digestive system going. I've learned the hard way about eating foods too rich when breaking a fast - and certainly enough - I won't let that happen again.

The online guides say to eat light, easily digestible foods like chicken stock,
eggs, yogurts, etc.

Last week I was coming off a short three dayer and opted to make my first egg drop soup. Having had it at chinese restaurants in the past, it was never impressive. And after watching a youtube video, I found out why - they add a ton of corn starch to thicken the soup, and use the minimum amount of egg.

So I got started with a clove of elephant head garlic and minced it. Grated some
fresh ginger, about half a finger. Added it to the pot and heated it with avoca
do oil until aromatic. Added a full can of chicken stock and let it go until boiling. Scooped in some fiber.

Prepared three eggs and slowly poured it in while stirring. The egg lowers the t
temperature so it was a slow addition. I'd stirred it in, waited a few second for the boil to start again, and added more. Sprinkled a bit of salt and white pepper.

I can report that it was delish!
