How so you refeed?

I am on day 5 of a water fast. I take a multivitamin, omega-3 and magnesium and just today I replenished on some electrolytes.

I’ve heard it is extremely important to refeed properly, but I’m not sure how. Does this simply mean to “juice” for a day? Two days?

I’d like to hear how you people refeed after a prolonged fast?

Thanks in advance!

Answer

It mostly depends on the length of the fast. After 3 days I’m fine breaking a fast with a large dinner. When I’ve done 5 days I’ve got to break the fast with a half size meal or risk spending time staring at the bathroom door. If I was to do something like 30 days (which I doubt I’d ever do) I would spend several days slowly increasing meal sizes.
