    Default Breaking the fast

    Have others broke a fast and felt extremely hungry afterwards? I broke mine with oranges today, then got into apples tonight. I'm not sure if its the fast or because I find fruit only meals very unsatisfying. I was on a lenient water fast for 3 days, would it be OK to have a salad with a tsp of oil in it or is that too soon? Fruits just leave me hungry.....or if I could make a smoothie with a touch of coconut meat in it or a small handful of nuts......just feel like I need something heavy already.

    There is an awesome book at the library about juice fasting. The author said to watch out that when we break our fast, we will want to EAT! He said to write out what you plan to eat for food for the next week or so. That way you have a plan instead of huge cravings to overcome. I'm doing a very slow transition staying mostly juicing until this body says it's ready to eat again.
    Happy transition!
