Any fasting clinic that you go to will break your fast the same way. You shouldn't be worried about fruit sugars. Nothing has to happen for your system to use them because they are ready to be burned as soon as they enter your body. Nothing has to be done and nothing has to be broken down. You ease your system back into processing fuel that is ready to go.

Out of the four extended fasts I've done at the three different places, this is how the fast was broken each time. Not to mention the vitamins and minerals that are contained in fruits and veggies which after and extended fast, are very important to get back in. Fruit is the easiest to digest out of any food choice, not fat.

Like I had said, I'm sure you'll be fine the way you have yours set up because it progresses slowly enough, which is important. But ready to use glucose is easier on the system then fat in that point in time.

You made a good choice going with the water fast over the juice feast. Although they both are fantastic tools for cleansing, the water fast goes deeper and cleanses faster.

Congrats for making it through to the other side.

How are you feeling right now?
Ah, I see, makes sense. I actually had half a fruit smoothie yesterday and drinking one right now, just couldn't resist it. Pineapple, banana and coconut mix, this one tastes sooo good haha. And I think I had a sip too much, getting some slight nausea...
I try to stay under 40g sugar per day though and follow the rest of my outlined plan.

Thanks! Yes it was a very deep experience. But incredibly boring, too lol.
Feeling pretty good right now, energy is very slowly coming back, I was able to stand in the shower today unlike while fasting where I had to sit down. Refeeding is strange, you cannot eat a lot at a time and even some sips on fruit juices feed you very well so you have to go very slow but you get hungry every 2-3 hours. I ate a bowl of soup every time the hunger came, just so much that I was satisfied.

Music sounds really good atm and I can kind of enjoy movies and tv shows, a feeling that I thought would be lost forever. Maybe it's just temporary as your body is refeeding and running on low calories?! Hope of course it stays and also for libido coming back soon. Had absolutely NO libido at all while fasting, but that seems to be the case. Still cannot do many other things than lying down or at best do some cooking. I guess it will take the full 7 days of refeeding until ready to go for walks or doing shopping.

It's kind of incredible how much fat one actually has, I guess I could have gone on for at least 10 more days or so...but I just couldn't force it any longer.
