You fasted for 60 days and the first thing you ate to break your fast was... spinach? You have next-level willpower.


Why? Spinach isn’t even close to as bad as people like to make it out to be. For me it ranges from a nice lettuce replacement to something that doesn’t really alter the flavour of what it’s mixed with. Sure, if you cook it with stuff it turns all mushy, so I guess most people actually don’t like the texture more than the flavour itself.


I suspect that after 60 days fasting you can only stomach light things like greens until your stomach expands a bit.


How are you typically making your log? shell script?

Did your stomach not get upset with you the following day?

Most people break their fast with something really easy to digest like pickle juice etc.
