breaking fast and reintroducing nuts

[Rawling]

when breaking a fast should you mono eat fruit? how long? or is it better to start with a smoothie...say frozen cantaloupe with orange juice in the blender?

Is a whole apple at one time too much? are red grapes good to break it with...where are grapes on the nutritional value scale to other fruits? i thought i read a post on here that listed a bunch of fruits in order from most nutritious to least.

How long should you wait to introduce denser foods like nuts back into the diet?

first off... how long did you fast? if it was for a week or less... break your fast for a day - perhaps a day and a half and go back to raw foods.

if it was longer than that... then the protocol is different. i took 28 days to break my 12 week fast last fall.

to break your fast - it's up to you really. a nice gentle fruit is nice. i do grapes without the peel, papaya... perhaps some soaked prunes. it takes me awhile to get back into green smoothies but others add those back in sooner (watered down)...
