Anytime you come off of a fast it is almost harder mentally to stay focused because it is typical to want to gorge and binge.

The first day, just start with high pulp orange juice. If you have a Fresh and Easy store by you, they sell a non pasteurized pj that is pure oranges, no science, just perfect.

Always be sure that your water intake is high. The next day, have watermelon. This is s great fruit to start with because it is a higher water content than other fruits but it is bulky so you feel full. Eat as much as you want. I can go through an entire mini melon in one day.

If your stomach and elimination system is tolerating what you are eating, the third day go for strawberries and apples. There is also a fabulous Fresh Pressed apple juice made by the " Simply" company. The malic acid in apples and pure juice has awesome benefits. Have a few glasses a day.

By the 4th day, have a plain white fish, fresh is best. Either poach it or broil it plain with no fats, but season to taste. Use lemon, it has great cleansing properties.

Although I haven't gone through the process, I read in Joel Fuhrman's book Fasting and Eating for Health that it takes anywhere from 4-6 weeks for your metabolism to get back to pre-fast levels, so "one must eat very carefully and not overeat or go off the prescribed diet during this period after the fast. A few pounds of weight will usually return in the next week or two after breaking the fast as the body replenishes the fluid and electrolytes that it lost while fasting." page 185.

On page 202 he goes on to say, "The fast is typically broken on one half an orange or a piece of Watermelon the size of a woman's fist every two hours on the first day. Over the next three days, the amount of food given is gradually increased and the interval between feedings is lengthened, so that by day 4 the person is able to comfortably tolerate three normal-size meals. The foods eaten during this period are fresh fruits, lettuce, steamed vegetables such as zucchini and asparagus, and baked squash or sweet potato. Other physicians who employ fasting in their practice often break the fast with fresh fruit and vegetable juice and then gradually introduce food. My reasoning for usually breaking the fast on whole food is to begin to provide some bulk to encourage peristalsis, thereby encouraging the first bowel movement to occur before the patient leaves for home."

Hope this helps ALB.
