Breaking a dry fast

I want to get some ideas about breaking a dry fast. Obviously I will start with water. In the Phoenix Protocol the suggest half a teaspoon of baking soda in 8 ounces water. I thought about using snake juice which is a concauction of baking soda, pink salt, potassium and epsom salt for magnesium. My goal is 20 days total fasting. By finishing the dry fast with a water fast. No caloric intake for 20 days. I am considering 15 days dry, 5 more days water. After that I am debating between fruit and fruit juice or diluted fruit juice. Blackberries have been on my mind. I am thinking about keeping it alkaline at first and blackberries are highly alkaline. I have a kevita which is kefir, water, lemon and trace amount of cayenne pepper. It sounds amazing! But the kefir makes it acidic. I also have some juice from beets and various berries and some tart cherry juice. Appreciate ideas or advice!

Imma reason a bit different this time; juices, however diluted, creates cravings for sweet drinks and sugar/carbs in general for me. Even if it is only from low sugar kombucha or other stuff that you would think are good for you.I have actually gained weight since my last dry fast (3 weeks ago) by riding on the huge built up cravings for food I got during the fast, and giving in to it rather than reversing it before even starting. So this time I am gonna try go kinda strict from start and release it a bit later rather than the opposite.

Low carb berries are a different than juices/drinks, however- I tend to eat too much of them too soon and have too much fibres at once, especially from strawberries. But I guess this could easily be adjusted by just portioning it and reminding myself to just have a little bit, not eating because of hunger or cravings. I guess the latter is the hardest.

Coconut water + regular mineral water, and slow, the first hours, and some apple cider vinegar and/or lemon juice in the mineral water, while limiting myself to just a few sips at a time, has worked well for me. The actual eating has been trickier
