The most important thing to do is to make a plan. Breaking your fast is more important than the fast itself and much more challenging.

Keep your first meals simple: one or two kinds of food at a time. Breaking the fast should take one half the number of days that you fasted. For example, if you fasted for 5 days, take 3 days to get back to where you want to be eating normally.

Add new foods gradually, beginning with the solid forms of whatever you have been juicing.

1st meal:
Fruits or Vegetables ( not together! Fruit on empty stomachs only except apples which are like “type o” blood and combine with salads nicely. Healthy Oils ( olive, flax seed, hemp, UDO’s)

2nd meal:
Gentle Vegetable protein
Soaked raw nuts soaked overnight, perhaps made into a nut milk shake or enjoyed over steamed quinoa with more soaked almonds

3rd day:
If you are not 100% vegetarian, this would be the time to add a flesh or dairy or egg back into your diet.
Remember that SHELLFISH of any kind is not OK during break fast time. You are too clean and it will quite possibly cause a stomach ache!

Make yourself a grocery list and be sure to get support from a friend or a family member.
