Fasting is not meant as an "affliction;" it is in itself a form of teshuva, allowing us to concentrate on our spiritual, rather than physiological side on this one day. To prepare properly for the fast: * Drink at least 8 full glasses of water on Sunday (erev YK) & avoid caffeinated beverages; * Increase starch & fiber intake before the fast, eating items such as whole-grain cereals or bread, pasta, rice, potatoes; * Decrease protein intake & avoid salty foods such as lox, pickles, chips or pretzels. The meal before the fast may include boiled, grilled or baked chicken; steamed or raw vegetables, beans, lentils, fresh fruit; cake or bread.
