Here's a good document on breaking fasts. It is really intended for those who have fasted 2-3 weeks, so you may not need to take as long as they say to get back into normal eating. This is what I used to break my 3 week fast. The first time I used raw veggies, but I think it was a little too harsh on my digestive system. This method recommends using fruit to start out because it's the easiest to digest and will slowly get your system going again. Next time you fast, try not to take any cleansing kits or supplements and you will probably feel a lot better.

I have a question for anyone who can answer. I fasted for 3 weeks (2 weeks water, 1 week juice) and when I was done my skin became really dry. It's been just over 3 weeks since I broke the fast and my skin is still very dry, especially my hands. I've been eating mostly fruits and vegetables (with nuts), along with a yogurt and usually a fish fillet for dinner. I increased my veggie intake and have applied organic lotion, but have had no luck. Does anyone know why this is happening, and how I can rememdy it? I still drink a lot of water, but it doesn't really help.
