Lent is the period before Easter, when many people, in order to cleanse their body and soul, eat only lean foods, avoid bad deeds and thoughts, and pray a lot. People attach particular importance to the choice of dishes, because not every product can be eaten by those who are fasting.
As you know, you cannot eat animal products during fasting (meat, milk, eggs, etc.), so a lot is banned, because the same baked goods and almost all confectionery products contain "prohibited ingredients" - eggs, milk, butter.
Chocolate and chocolates are products that are used not for saturation, but for pleasure (after all, eating a candy, each of us experiences pleasure and joy), we do not satisfy hunger with these sweets. Therefore, it is undesirable to consume these confectionery products during the fast. And if the sweetness contains milk, fats or alcohol, then there is nothing to say - this food is strictly prohibited. You should not eat the following store sweets during the fast:
- waffles;
- cookies;
- cupcakes;
- cakes;
- cakes.
Yes, it is quite difficult to hold out for a long time without sweets (for example, Lent lasts a little less than 50 days), especially if there is no experience of such a "diet", so if you are fasting for the first time and are afraid that you will not endure the entire fast and "break loose" with a lean diet, then be sure to occasionally indulge yourself with marmalade or candies, various nuts and dried fruits. These sweets do not contain animal products, so every fasting person can afford them in small quantities. However, it is worth remembering that you need to eat them as little as possible, and not make these dishes as the main meals.
