Proponents of fasting recommend gradually introducing solid foods back into the diet to avoid adverse reactions.
Here is an example:
- Day 1
Two pieces of fruit. Each piece of fruit is divided in half so there are four servings for that day.
- Day 2
Lightly steamed non-starchy vegetables, such as spinach.
- Day 3
Brown rice, fresh salad.
-
Day 4
Organic yogurt, unflavored and unsweetened. Eggs.
- Day 5
Meat, chicken, fish, tofu, if eaten.
- Day 6
Beans, other grains may be introduced, if eaten.
- Day 7
Other foods, as desired.
When introducing foods back into the diet, proponents of fasting suggest:
chewing food well so they are more easily digested
not overeating
noting any food reactions as new foods are introduced, such as energy, digestion, cravings, and other symptoms.
transitioning to a healthier long-term diet. Trying new, healthy foods.
