Re: Day 3 of Post 31 Day Fast - Status and questions

Hello,

It is good to see up and posting. I was starting to worry. After alot of research back in November 2010, I found out there is a system that you should follow during re-feeding. It breaks down, how long you should have a specialized diet i.e. re-feeding period, which I took to be juices and very soft foods as your body re-adjusts back to normal. You should follow this before you really start eating like you normally were before your fast.

I hope this helps. I posted on my blog back in November.

There it is:

1-5 days of fast– one day of specialized diet
6-10 days of fast - two days of specialized diet
11-15 days of fast– three days of specialized diet
16-20 days of fast – four days of specialized diet
21-25 days of fast – five days of specialized diet
26-30 days of fast – six days of specialized diet
31-35 days of fast – seven days of specialized diet
36-40 days of fast – eight days of specialized diet
41-45 days of fast – nine days of specialized diet
46-50 days of fast – ten days of specialized diet
51-55 days of fast – eleven days of specialized diet

I was told that Papaya is really good for eating after a fast, as it is good for the the digestive system. Since you fasted, as you cleaned out the toxins out of your body, you also cleaned out the intestinal flora as well. So you must give your body time to replense/replace it.

Just take it slow. Just remember you are eating, if only a little bit. Your body has to re-adjust to processing food again. It will be easier over time.

You did a great job!
