I can no longer fast but I appreciate the information about protein and water. I intake about 100g of whey isolate based protein and have issues because I don’t drink enough water…now I understand the connection!!!! Thanks KoD!

I’ll be fasting for the first time this year, I’m going to follow all of your advice and hope that it isn’t too awful!

Keren Cohen,
I’m not sure that drinking PowerAde will benefit more than just the water that is found in it. I do know that it can’t hurt drinking it. In fact, my doctor believes it is beneficial and actually makes sure that he and his family drink PowerAde before each fast.

Typically, PowerAde is consumed when dehydration can occur such as extreme sports activities and gastrointestinal disorders that cause diarrhea and/or vomiting. For a 24-hour fast, my humble opinion is that it is not necessary but as I mentioned in an earlier response, if it helps one to consume more fluids, then by all means offer it before a fast.

Question for Ira: My nephew says he loves drinking a lot of POWERade (a kosher Gatorade like drink) 12 hours before a fast. He says it make shis fast much easier.

what are you thoughts?

thanx.

Actually,with the lentil and limas you could probably skip the chicken altogether. My friend just showed me a really easy recipe for lentils. I’ll have to get hold of it.

Mother in Israel – instead of the chicken substitute a pasta dish or a lasagna…even grilled fish…
