How many refeeding days do you need?
The time after fasting counts too
Elke accompanies you through all phases – including refeeding. As a rule of thumb, plan about a third of the fasting period for the refeeding days. Move the slider to your number of fasting days:
Green = fasting days · Lime = refeeding days
In Elke's talk on the refeeding days you'll learn what matters afterwards.
