Re: Water fast to jump start new healthy lifestyle:)

As you have discovered, going back to bad eating habits will undo the benefits of a fast, and therefore it is undertaken in vain.
Goal-setting as to the number of days on a water-only-fast is admirable, but on many an occasion fasters fall short for one reason or another. My advice would be just to take one day at a time and let any developments dictate its length.

In this day and age, fasting to completion or until natural hunger has returned is not as achieveable or even as desirable in comparison to yesteryear, when the diet was more nutritionally dense: a long fast is only as safe as the quality of your stored food reserves, and in general is mostly deficient compared to those of our forebears.
Dr Joel Fuhrman MD (eat to live) had to break his own long fast on day 46 because of an electrolyte deficiency, when to all appearances he had plenty of food reserves (fat) still on board.

Your post-fast plan seems to be very good, but unless I am mistaken if you are drinking green tea while fasting then you are actually dieting and greatly diminishing the benefits of a true fast of drinking water-only according to thirst. If you do continue with this then you are far more likely to experience nutritional deficiencies.

It is known that if a diet of one kind or another excludes citrus fruits or other sources of Ascorbate (Vitamin C) the result will be a deficiency disease known as scurvy, but on an exclusive water-only fast, scurvy does not develop: the same can be said for other nutritional elements.
I hope therefore that you will adhere to a water-only fast from now on, and experience the true power of the fast in the cleansing and healing of your body without the risk of inducing a deficiency disease.
