This was my experience as well. The longest I've gone on a water/coffee fast is 7 days, and after the initial 24 hours of hunger subsides, the biggest factor was psychological. I learned that I often use food to relieve boredom, and it's honestly a struggle for me to find a replacement activity which is equally satisfying.

What do you do to get back to eating food normally?
How do you mean? I just start eating as per usual. I often find that the portion I need to feel full is reduced, but I eat the same foods I did before the extended fast.
