The Lent - the period before Easter when many people to clean a body and soul, eat only fast products, avoid bad acts and thoughts, pray much. People allocate for the choice of viands special value, not each product can be eaten fasting.
It is known that in a post it is impossible to use animal products (meat, milk, eggs and other) therefore the baking plate the ban gets a lot of things, the same baking and practically all confectionery contain ""the forbidden ingredients"" - eggs, milk, oil.
Chocolate and chocolates are products which are used not for saturation, and for pleasure (eating candy each of us feels pleasure and joy), we don't satisfy with these sweeties hunger. Therefore, it is undesirable to use these confectionery in a post. And if the sweet incorporates milk, fats or alcohol then and there is nothing to speak - given viands strictly under a ban. You shouldn't eat in a post and the following store sweeties:
- wafers;
- cookies;
- cakes;
- cakes;
Yes, it is quite difficult to hold on long term without sweeties (for example, the Lent lasts slightly less than 50 days), especially if there is no experience of similar ""diet"" therefore if you for the first time fast and you are afraid that don't sustain all post and ""will break"" from fast food, then surely occasionally indulge yourself fruit jelly or lollipops, various nuts and dried fruits. These sweeties don't contain animal products therefore in small amounts each fasting can afford them. However it is worth remembering that it is necessary to eat them as little as possible, but not to do these viands by the main meals.
