I once went on a 7 day water fast. Some days I was crawling around the floor I was so weak, I could not even walk to the loo. One day I had so much energy that I lifted my motor bike up with one hand after I dropped it. (A bee stung me on the cheek. I managed to pull over safely while it was stinging me but as I was pulling out the sting a big gust of wind blew the bike over)
I know it is really important how you break your fast. I know of someone who did permanent damage to his liver when he had fish and chips after a 5 day fast.
I broke my fast eating organic apricots from the garden. I think the hardest part is taking care of what you put into your body the day(s) after fasting as it is quite vulnerable and it is easy to succumb to the desire to eat everything in sight.
