It sounds to me that you went into this ill-prepared and have gotten yourself into trouble. Be carefull! The rice fast is a very delicate balance that amplifies even the smallest deviation, hence it is really a fine-tuning experience. One does not run a marathon without training and conditioning.

The best thing for you to do at this point is to stabilize because sudden and extreme changes are the real danger on a rice fast. You have consumed excessive tea (liquid) and eaten fish. This violated the fast immediately. You will get nothing by flying all over the place, except turnoil and unworkable inertia.

Expand your diet slowly but consistantly, then maintain this for a while and latter you may wish to re-contract slowly and a little at a time so you do not loose control. Doing a rice fast is best done gradually by eliminating small portions and elements at a time. You can be aware of what is happening in small controlable increments. When you finally arrive at #7 it will not be such a shock to your system and you will be more ready to assimilate what it can provide.

Be kind to yourself and your body and gently and consistantly proceed. If you bounce allover the place, your body will get confused and perhaps rebell and not serve you very well.

What you are looking for can be found but the price is patience and attentivenass. Not many people can pay in one lump sum. Its easier and more effective to pay in small consistant segments.
