Breaking a dry fast properly is the most important step. It is the first step of refeeding and sets the pace.

What is the recommended approach to breaking a dry fast safely?

When you are breaking a dry fast is it important to keep things simple. I like to consider simplicity along with science. Philosophy and also a paleolithic comparison of how a process can relate to our ancestors and evolution. What do you think the average man broke a dry fast with a thousand years ago? In this case, my recommendation is to break it with only water. The water should be of high quality, and that means high-quality spring water like Evian, San Benedetto, or something else you may have in your area. You want natural spring water that has been filtered by the earth, not ozonated or treated in any way. The first day of the refeed is explained in my Scorch Protocol: Healing Long Covid and Autoimmune diseases. It consists of breaking with water for at least 6 hours and drinking approximately 2L of water balanced and portioned throughout the window.

Some even recommend adding a pinch of natural salt or drinking coconut water to replenish electrolytes. Just like August Dunning recommends baking soda. I'll talk about this a little more under the electrolytes question.

If you can handle it, then doing a full day of water fasting is very powerful to bring your body back online, but I am also aware that many do not have the discipline to do a full day of water fasting after their already long dry fast. A day of water fasting is a nice way to extend autophagy for another 24 hours, but as long as you follow the 6-hour window, you will be safe. A lot of people ask me what to do if I break the fast near the evening, which would affect my feeding window. In this case, I highly recommend transitioning into a water fast overnight. Set an alarm to wake up to drink water once or twice in the middle of the night. When you wake up you'll be ready to go straight into the refeed. There are specific situations that may require slightly more precise adaptations, but that is on a case-by-case basis, and usually, if I am guiding the dry faster.
