HOW A FAST IS BROKEN
Note: This is vitally important! Breaking the fast is the most significant phase of it; the beneficial effects of fasting could be totally undone if the fast is broken incorrectly.
The main rules of breaking the fast are:
Do not overeat!
Chew food extremely well and eat slowly!
Take several days of gradual transition to the normal diet.
First day, eat one whole apple or other sweet fruit and a little bowl of fresh vegetable soup or puree, unsalted and unspiced, in addition to the usual juice and broth menu.
Second day, you may add to the above some mashed potatoes and a glass of yogurt or homemade soured milk.
Third day, increase the portions a little and add a small plate of fresh raw vegetable salad, some cooked rice, and a little portion of homemade cottage cheese.
Fourth day, you can start to eat normally. By normally I mean, of course, that you should continue on the diet recommended in this book. In order to benefit to the greatest possible extent from the therapeutic fasting it is important that after fasting a diet of vital natural foods is maintained. Such a diet will supply the healing forces of your body with all the vital nutritive elements necessary for the continued repair and healing processes initiated by the body during the fast. However, keep always in mind the first rule of resuming eating after the fast—do not overeat! Needless to say, this rule is also the first rule of health.
