Donn, I have just read this post of your on breaking fasts/ I am especially interested in this issue lately. I really intuitively agree that "it takes longer than you would think" and that you really need to give the body time and a very light diet after a fast, be very slow and gentle. This is so hard! ... Do you have any further thoughts on this subject, advice on how to succeed in not overeating after fasting? I will e-mail this message, also, in case you don't see it on the forum, but please publish any response on forum, too! I would like to see a discussion of the necessary discipline of breaking fasts on the forum. Many thanks, Lauray.
