Hi there...
Just finished a successful 23 day fast but am now feeling run down and a bit depressed.
Broke the fast with a day of vegetable and fruit juices, along with a few leaves of raw spinach later in the day and a couple of small items of sweet fresh fruit.
Day Two after the fast (Sat) I did start to eat a bit more food, whilst continuing with the juices, (juices: carrot, apple, beet, celery, ginger, orange; food: cucumber, tomatoes, spinach, soaked dried prunes).
However, my glands in my throat have now swollen up and I now have a sore throat. Also my tongue became very sensitive and felt like it had been exposed to too much acid or something.
I also noticed that my digestive system did seem to be taking issue with the new influx of food, but with the high quantity of juice and soluable fibre I did think it would be good to have the tract swept clean after the fast.
Combined with this, I also experienced a noticeable drop in my normally positive outlook... which I figure is probably related to the digestive / colon issues...
I am assuming that my body is still in detox mode and cannot clear enough of the residues out of the lymphatic system so has therefore created this healing crisis for me to deal with... the question is how!
Do I continue with the juicing and reduce the quantity of food to a minimum, or try to just drink as much water as possible and refuse all solids again?
Went from 155-130lbs on the fast and I'm a 6ft male in my 30s, so I'm pretty keen to start rebuilding as that's not a lot of weight for my frame...
Many thanks for your help...
Adam
