Re: best way to break a water fast...

I'd live on Watermelon if I could afford it but in the UK good ones are hard to find and the ones available are expensive. I was brought up in Georgia where you could pick them up for a few dollars most anywhere. Almost makes me wish I could move back. Almost but not quite!

The benefits from melon for refeeding is plenty of quality water, nutrition and no digestion to speak of. Scan the table at this link - http://gcrec.ifas.ufl.edu/watermelons/Uses_and_Nutritional_Composition.htm
to see what they know it provides and then make some allowance for what they don't know about. Another useful link is http://www.whfoods.com/genpage.php?tname=foodspice&dbid=31.


Apparently the trick with melons is not to mix it with other foods of any type as it passes through the system PDQ. If it gets stuck behind a slower moving food, it will ferment raising your toxicity.

If it was me, I'd certainly eat the Watermelon especially if that's what I was hungering for.

Here's a post from a gentleman who used Watermelon for refeeding after a 30+ day fast that is quite instructive in many ways. http://www.30bananasaday.com/profiles/blogs/refeeding-week-1


Good luck!
