Default my opinion after lots of reading

If you are only going to fast for 3 days and you are looking to drop some weight then I really advise against it because you will for sure get in a bad cycle. The benefits of a long term fast such as 30 days is that your body is stripped of anything toxic and all residue in your system. When you reintroduce food it takes a little while to build up to solids. At first you start with juice primarily vegetable broths and incorporate some diluted fruit juices. Then you can add really soft fruits and veggies and so on. Ultimately I will say and I'm sure you have heard it before that if you fast for any length of time short or long and return to your normal eating routine that caused you to gain weight then you will always gain weight. Environment is more hereditary than genetics so you are absolutely in control as an adult. 30 days is long in an immediate gratification aspect but imagine how many days of your life you have spent hating your weight? It is worth it for long term benefits but you have to commit to changing your routine. It's not an overnight change but if you can give up one thing a week you will be on your way. I am all about this blog during this so feel free to keep writing and I will gladly respond
