Fasting, Feasting, and Fiber

This is also out-of-season. Inquirers into Orthodoxy are not required, or even encouraged, to join in the Fasts of the Church, but if you do, you'll see that at the end of the Fast there's usually a meat-bash (my terminology) at church or in Orthodox homes. You might want to start things off with a fiber supplement, because your large intestine won't be used to a big meat-only (or -mostly) feast otherwise, and you may get diarrhea.
