Today, we are going to show you how to make basic congee.
Congee is a gentle, nourishing meal that soothes the digestive system and replenishes nutrients. Perfect for a post-cleanse meal on day 2.
Before introducing the recipe, let me explain what the recovery phase is.
What is the recovery phase?
After completing your R’s KOSO Cleanse, the recovery phase is just as important as the cleanse itself.
This phase helps prevent rebound weight gain. Your body is in a highly absorbent state after fasting. Suddenly consuming heavy foods may lead to excess fat storage.
The recovery phase also reduces digestive stress, ensuring that you smoothly transition back to regular eating. The cleanse gives your digestive system a break. Jumping back to regular meals too quickly can overwhelm your stomach and undo your progress.
Gradually transitioning back to regular meals is essential after fasting.
General Guidelines:
-
The recovery period should match the fasting duration. For example, a 1-day fast requires 1 day of recovery
-
Limit rice intake due to its high carbohydrate content.
-
During the recovery phase, drink 1–2 liters of fluids daily, such as water, warm water, or caffeine-free tea.
What to Eat After the Cleanse?
1st day after 3-Day Koso Cleanse, try to choose vegetables and avoid carbohydrates to control blood sugar levels.
2nd day after 3-Day Koso Cleanse, start taking carbohydrates little by little.
You can eat rice and fruits. congee is one of the ideal dishes to take 2nd day to digest easily. Vegetable soup, steamed vegetables, and boiled tofu are also great on the 2nd day.
This gradual reintroduction of foods helps prevent digestive stress and supports the body’s transition back to normal eating.
Don’t forget to chew well and eat mindfully. Your taste buds will be more sensitive, making simple foods even more flavorful.
