A fasting day is a very good wellness event. However, if on the eve of such a day and after it you eat to satiety, nothing good will come of it. You need to prepare for a fasting day a day or two before it. Reduce the amount of food eaten, reduce portions, minimize the consumption of animal proteins (meat, fish, milk, eggs). Drink more water than coffee, tea, juices.

The main principle of the fasting day is to actively dilute and neutralize digestive juices with water and food of minimal calorie content so that they (juices) do not corrode the mucous membrane of the gastrointestinal tract, do not cause inflammation, erosion and ulceration. At this time, the body, freed from the burden of excess food, will conduct a “general cleaning”, revision, self-healing, self-regulation in itself.
It makes sense to spend a fasting day with only one product. For example, on Friday we eat vegetables and fruits, on Saturday — full unloading with one product, on Sunday we begin to leave the unloading day.
