Instructions
1. Drink water. The FDA recommends drinking at least 2 liters of water a day. You especially need to this when fasting.
2. Drinking juice diluted with water is a method as old as fasting itself. Mix 2 oz. of juice with every 6 oz. of water. Start drinking this about 2 hours into your fast, then every hour thereafter. Use only organic natural juice that does not have corn syrup or added sugars. Apple juice should be avoided because of its high sugar content.
3. To control blood glucose levels, eat every 2 hours. High-fiber foods that are low in fat, salt and sugar are best, because they will not cause spikes in your blood-sugar levels. Some examples of these kind of foods include celery, lettuce, lemons and brown rice.
4. Limit yourself to no more than 1/2 cup of brown rice a day. Fasting Buddhist monks believe in eating only 1/2 cup of rice at dinner; however, for the sake of your glucose levels, you may want to split it up into two 1/4-cups a day. It's really up to you.
You can eat a stick of celery or 1/2 cup of lettuce every 2 hours; this should be just enough to keep your blood sugar up.
