Think transition, not “detox”
After a restricted festival diet, the goal is to reintroduce the foods you normally eat without overwhelming digestion. The body does not need a marketed “detox cleanse.” A gradual return is especially sensible after several days of lower grain intake or heavy reliance on fried vrat foods.
Two-day transition idea
- Start with familiar home-cooked meals rather than a very rich feast.
- Reintroduce wheat or regular rice in moderate portions.
- Add onion/garlic and stronger spices gradually if you have avoided them and notice sensitivity.
- Keep fluids, fruit and vegetables consistent.
- Use leftovers safely; do not keep cooked food simply because it is prasad if it has been stored unsafely.
