Fasting consists of a predetermined schedule. This lasts for several days, for example as a 7-day program.
Regardless of the length, the water fasting treatment always follows the same pattern: It begins with a day of rest and preparation, followed by the actual fasting days and then the days of establishing or breaking the fast.. This sequence allows the body to detoxify optimally and can be used with dietary changes.

Vegetable juice is the best drink for fasting, because they contain much less fructose than fruit juice, so they do not cause the blood sugar level to rise too high. Fruit juice is also allowed every now and then.
Alternatively, vegetable juice can be flavored with fresh herbs, ginger, turmeric or some other fruit. Coffee and alcohol are taboo during fasting treatment.
