VERY Important: re-feeding is what's at issue here
The subject heading is not accurate, and may well behave as negative attraction. As any thread goes longer, please consider changing the heading, to better reflect what you now realize.
It is clear that the re-feeding process is something people just do not take seriously enough. -Even old-timers trip up, from time to time!-
The majority of problems with
Water Fasting can be traced to the re-feeding, and the way the fast is broken. (Second to this is the way it is begun--Some can jump in and swim, others will sink, or flounder.)
The fasting literature (complied from extensive experience)has always said re-feeding is AS important as a properly conducted Water -ONLY fast.
Note that re-feeding does not mean just the post-fast period, before one can 'go back to my favourite foods', but the ongoing new mode of better living. Nutreint-dens, whole foods, plant-based (largely)is what works.
Any return to old ways that caused harm in the past is likely to produce a strong reaction--the body's way of saying, NO!
Sorry--not meaning to shout, but rather to add emphasis.
