Breaking the Fast

For those who have characteristically lived the unnatural way of meat, milk, refined and devitalized food, it may be best to change over as follows, gradually adopting the raw fruit, nut, and vegetable diet:

FIRST DAY:
All Day: Several 8 oz. glasses of fresh orange juice (as desired.) Drink slowly!

SECOND DAY:
All Day/ Morning: Several 8 oz. glasses of orange juice—with extra water, if needed.

Afternoon: vegetable soup (no canned soup) as follows:

RECIPE FOR VEGETABLE SOUP
Use several kinds of vegetables, perhaps one or two kinds of legumes, potatoes, celery, carrots, green
vegetable tops, onion, etc. Dehydrated vegetables or vegetable soup powders may be added for extra
flavor. Okra or okra powder, chili, curry, cayenne (red pepper), tomatoes, green peppers, and zucchini
squash may be included to good advantage. Brown rice may be used, but no meat or meat stock. Other
spices may be added (delicately) for flavor. Use salt delicately as a limited amount of salt is necessary.
* Learn to enjoy the natural flavor of the vegetables. The less cooking the better.

Evening: Soup- using the broth mostly, although some of the vegetables may be eaten. Rye wafers (eaten sparingly) with the soup, but no bread or crackers.

THIRD DAY
Morning: orange juice
Afternoon: soup
Evening: Whatever is desired in the form of vegetables, salads, or fruit. *No meat, fish, or eggs; no bread, pastries, tea, coffee, or milk!

FOURTH DAY
Normal eating may be resumed.

* Best health will be retained if the morning meal consists of the lemonade or fruit juice: and, of course, if a strictly fruit, vegetable, seed and berry diet is followed.

*If, after eating is resumed, distress or gas occurs, it is suggested that the lemonade diet be continued for several more days until the system is ready for food.
