Activated charcoal, for starters. If you are doing water only for days, infrared sauna and epsom salt baths. Lots of water, sea salt. These are during your fast.
For people who never did a fast before be forewarned: 99% of you are going to feel like crap the first 48 hours. In fact, by the time you start to feel better it will likely be time to break the fast. However, the toughest part of fasting is not, as one may think, the time spent not eating but the process of starting to eat again, the refeeding part of the process. This part is extremely important but is often considered as an afterthought or actually not considered at all. When planning your fast, please consider what food you are going to put on your plate when the time to break the fast arrives. A lot of proponent of fasting recommend breaking your fast with fruits or fruit juices, because these are supposed to be "easy" to digest and not to much of a burden on your digestive system. My personal experience with different fast breaking protocols lead me to completely reject the carbohydrates approach to refeeding and embrace a ketogenic diet when it is time to eat again. I had done over a half dozen 5 to 15 days fast before going keto, and when it was time to feed myself again it was always a struggle to moderate myself when reintroducing food like the recommended grapes or other fruits: I just went crazy and ended up overeating, like in a uncontrollable frenzy, getting bloated and having a very painful digestion in the process. When the ketogenic diet first piqued my interest, it dawned on me that when you fast you are in ketosis, therefore I figured it would make sense to break the fast not with carbs but with a ketogenic meal. I tested this hypothesis by doing a 10 day fast followed by a dinnertime meal that consisted of steak and eggs plus a roman lettuce salad with tons of olive oil, avocados and nuts. 2 words: Total bliss. Never in my life has a meal sat so comfortably in my stomach: No discomfort whatsoever. I felt great and did not get the urge to eat anything more until the next day. Long story short, I now do a routine 3 day fast every month and I always eat keto when it is time to eat again. So if you are considering doing a fast, please plan ahead to the fast breaking part of it, and maybe put some time exploring what the ketogenic diet is all about. It could probably be worth your while.
