Breaking a long fast is an important and extremely rewarding process. The process can be likened to a small child beginning to learn how to eat solid foods. You would be best starting off with simple-to-eat foods such as soups, porridge and fresh fruits and vegetables in small portions.

It is not surprising to find that your stomach has shrunk and so you will need to start small and slowly and increase your intake and size slowly over the coming days and weeks. You may not get back to your ways of extensive eating and for some that is a good thing. You are now rebuilding better health once you’ve completed a detox program so take things slowly.

In simple, here are three tips for post-detox individuals.

• Set a plan. Divide your foods over two weeks. Start off a few days with soup. You may not even be able to drink a bowl of soup so eat slowly and don’t force yourself. Eat only as much as you content as you begin to open and grow your stomach again.

• Eat water-rich foods. If there’s anything you should eat, water-rich content from fruits and vegetables that will give you the nutrients and protein to grow.

• Build slowly. As you continue each day, try to eat a small portion more than you did the previous meal time so you build your stomach and appetite and eating habits.

It is an exciting time to re-build your health in the shape you want it to take. For many, they will go on a healthy part that will allow them to treat themselves to junk food that they used to like prior to the detox.
