Breaking a 14 day fast, how do i not die?

Obviously exaggerating a bit here but i am aware simply going back to eating is bad. I really didn't wan't to break this fast, i was planning at least a month, but it happened, the headaches, temptation of eating and the "weak feel" i can take, but not the "throwing up" feeling in my throat (for lack of a better term), i will however switch to IF next week and hopefully it'll be much easier.

Start with something gentle on your system like broth and gradually add more solid food. When I break a super extended fast it normally takes me a few days to eat "normally" again. So take your time and be patient with yourself.

Would a small amount of soup broth be ok? English is not my first language so i'm not really sure how to translate the kind of soup but it's a pretty light one.

Quick edit: What do you mean "eat normally again"? I mean, i could eat a cheeseburger right now but i know it would really fuck me up

Yes, keep it simple. Avoid heavy spices, keep to plain broth and electrolytes. No big sugars. If you have no issues with that judge yourself but day 3 you can try some eggs. Keep portions small. Good luck.

The first and by far the most important rule is: no carbs.

If you want to be super careful, a bit of hot bone broth can help wake up your digestive system and tell your body to expect food. Then a very small amount of something easy to digest. If you experience no negative reactions, slowly and tentatively increase amounts of food.

Start with a plain broth, no creams or noodles et , an hour or so later a broth soup with so.e vegetables and choice of meat, if you like. Easy spices, slowly introduce more complex whole foods, like cheese , meats, stay off the carbs.

There's nothing wrong with having a meal every few days.
