Every year more and more people want to know how to eat during fasting, since the return to faith is completely impossible without observing church canons. Despite the prevailing stereotypes, the dishes allowed for consumption during Lent may well be delicious.

Step 1
When deciding to fast, remember that the first and last weeks are the most severe. If willpower allows, then these days all food consists only of bread and water, you can also add vegetables and fruits that are not subject to heat treatment. But for those new to fasting diets for the first time, such a restriction may become too drastic. Therefore, it makes sense to simply eat permitted lean meals. Vegetable oil is also prohibited during this period.
Step 2
Particularly strict restrictions apply to Good Friday and Saturday preceding Easter. On these days, complete fasting is prescribed in tribute to the memory of the suffering endured by Christ.
Step 3
On the rest of the days, you can eat any food of plant origin, paying attention to the fact that ready-made products purchased in stores may contain a certain amount of animal products. For example, ready-made pancakes with potatoes seem lean at first glance, but their dough most likely contains milk and egg powder.
Step 4
The ban applies not only to meat, but also to fish. It is allowed, as well as a little red wine, only on the feast of the Annunciation and on the day of Palm Sunday. On all other days of fasting, fish products are prohibited. Opinions are divided about seafood, which cannot be attributed to the fish family, but such an interpretation of the admissibility of the diet is not very ethical, because fasting is not a diet, but a cleansing of the body and soul.
