This is where long-term success is decided: from the traditional apple to the first refeeding days and new habits โ with recipe, food check and checklist.
During fasting your digestion took a break. Refeeding days allow a gentle return to normal food โ stomach, gut and metabolism adapt step by step.
Rule of thumb: plan about a third of the fasting days as refeeding days. See the whole week in the fasting week.
A ripe or stewed apple โ eaten very slowly. In the evening a light vegetable soup.
Porridge, steamed vegetables, potatoes, soup โ e.g. carrot-ginger soup.
Rice, small amounts of fruit, natural yoghurt if you like. Increase portions slowly.
Gradually add wholegrains, pulses, nuts, salads and quality oils. Alcohol still pauses.
After fasting youโre often full sooner than expected โ thatโs a chance.
Put your fork down now and then and check in.
Warm and soft, the apple is especially gentle โ ideal if your stomach is still sensitive.
Chew each bite 20โ30 times โ a gentle signal to your digestion.
Tap a food.
No entry yet.
Tick what you intend โ progress is saved.
