The fast is easy. Breaking it is the art.
How you come out of a fast matters more than how long you stay in it.
Anyone can stop eating for a few days. What you eat afterward, and how slowly, decides whether the benefits last.
Start with water-rich fruit or vegetable juice, then simple soft foods, and take as many days to refeed as you spent fasting.
This is why every program at the garden ends with a full refeed, and why we never send anyone home on the day their fast ends.
