Breaking your Fast

Warning! Breaking your fast the wrong way can literally HURT you. Please please please do your own research on breaking a fast the incorrect way.

Here’s an example.
After doing a 21 Day Fruit Fast, that means Fruit Only + Water + Herbal Tea. After you complete your fast you would damage yourself if you broke your fast with a Cheese Burger, Fries and a Coke. DO NOT EVER DO THIS. EVER!!!!
Depending on which fast you are doing you must SLOWLY introduce solid/cooked foods back into your diet. Take your time. This is very important. If you break your fast the wrong way then your entire fast was a waste. Do not do that!

Challenge
Now it’s time to get HEALED, challenge yourself to complete a fast that best works for you. If you are a beginner, start with 1 day and work yourself up to a minimum of 4 days.
Happy Fasting!
