I’m in a band that has a show booked for motezi Yom Kippur (Yom Kippur is over @ 7:03 and we don’t go onstage until 10:30)
Does anyone have any advice for getting my energy level up very quickly within the 3 hours after the fast?
I usually bounce back pretty quickly but it’s a bit different when you have an obligation to be all bouncy and full of energy after fasting for 25 hours.
Looking forward to your responses
A shot of whisky….
ok, so it’s still the summer & you’re planning for breaking your fast after Yom Kippur and I know someone who has already cooked for Rosh Hashana and I’m feeling desperately inadequate somehow…
I for one have started Pesach cleaning
Don’t overeat, as hard as it might be. I come home, wash on one roll, drink a glass of milk and build the sukkah on that and a couple cookies from shul. I used to eat a full meal first but I found that it caused me to get sick in the middle.
im starting cheesecake for next shavuos. ill sell it for pesach.
I have already baked 6 dozen hamentaschen – 3 dozen with prune and 3 dozen with mohn. My second (pesachdik) freezer is full of food for the entire 8 days. I just finished making 12 dozen cabbage rolls with sweet and sour sauce – for Rosh Hashanah – next year. I think I will need a third freezer – then I can cook and bake for all the holidays for the next 5 years. In fact, my family will be able to have “Bubbie’s home style cooking” long after I am gone. I am just making sure that they will never forget me. They shall have Bubbie care packages to take home for all eternity.
The shot of whiskey is sage advice.
I used to take the cake and coffee route and suffer.
Then a friend told me to break the fast with a shot of whiskey and hold off on the caffeine for a couple of hours. Although this sounded to me like inverse reasoning -I gave it a try, and have never regretted it since.
cleverjewishpun – I’ll give you my medical opinion, if you do my Simchos for free. Just kidding -unless you really want to.
Ok, First thing -try taking the Kalei Tzom before the fast. After Havdallah, since a lot of the weakness is due to dehydration -the fluids have to be replaced. The best is something like Pedialyte, then things like Gatorade.
What I usually do is have something like Lox & Cream Cheese on a bagel with OJ. The last two fasts, I drank a bottle of Gatorade first. These foods/drinks contain what your body needs – carbs, protein, sodium and potassium.

You’re not finished yet? I finished my kitchen twice already!
CJP – I just take a regular multi-vit everyday. I see no reason to take extra Vit. B. I’m not into the mega vitamins hype!
The fastest acting energy boost is honey. Second place goes to chocolate. So some tea with lots of honey, water for hydration, and a few chocolate bars should get you going.
old man – It’s fastest because the sugar is in a simpler form. This type of sugar or carb will act quick and be gone quick; not something that this guy needs for hours.
Health, yes, that is true. The chocolate bars should keep him going for a while, though. In any case, a decent meal should be the best.
Health is right Fluids are the best thing to do. Drink a cup or two of Water first thing after a fast. Vegetable Soup next-more Fluids and Minerals. Fish and either whole Grain Pasta or Brown Rice. Baked Apple for Desert.
thank you for the update glad it went well
