HOW TO PREPARE FOR A WATER FAST


The Pre-Fast Regimen: Eight Days of Recommended Preparation

Days 1-3: Avoid meat, fish, fowl, eggs, dairy, grains, legumes, salt and spices. Focus on fruits and vegetables; cooking them is okay.

Days 4-6: As above, except all foods are eaten raw.

Days 7-8: Raw fruit and vegetable juices only.

Following this plan for the last eight days before your fast will ease your body into burning fats and detoxifying, and make starting the Water Fast easier.
