Is it ok to break a fast with a Post Workout Drink?

Hello. I've been doing IF 16:8 for about 2 months now. I usually do my daily workout in a fasted state. I just recently picked up Pro Jym post workout and I am wondering if it is ok to break my fast with? (I already use their protein powder). Or should I break it with something else, then take the post workout?

Answer

That’s what I do sometimes. I make mine a pea protein shake rather than whey. I have one with lots of vitamins and minerals. DeLauer says break your fast with lean protein or a pea protein shake. He explains that the body is sensitive because you haven’t been eating so you want the first thing in your body to be protein along with some other mineral to kickstart your metabolism again and absolutely never carbs and fats!!

Check him out He has a video specific to women and IF. In it he addresses what you should eat to break a fast and more. I am SO SORRY. I DONT KNOW WHY I JUST assumed you were female. If you are Great if you’re not then there’s also a video on regular IF
