30 Day Juice Fasting - Eating After a Fast

Hi all:
I'm on day 22 of my 30 day juice fast, I go out running every second day (15 minutes) weight train and kickbox at home. I'll be 48 this May
I've lost weight on my fast which isn't my primary interest.
I expect to build up again after this fast is done. I've always been very slim so it's not for the weight loss, although I stopped smoking 17 years ago, eat mostly organic and train regular, I have had many nights sitting drinking beer.
I'm kind of all or nothing, do something too much or not at all. Anyway , what I'm actually wanting to state now that I've outlined myself, is eating after the fast, I've read articles stating you should spend around 6 days consuming little more than what you were during the fast?
Not me, first day I'll have organic yogurt and soup, much as I feel like, then I'll liquefy my fruit with soy milk and start having a slice of bread with my soup for first 2 days. After that I'll introduce rice with one of my home made veggie curries and expect to be eating as I please by day 4, as i eat very healthy anyway.
Won't be rushing out to McDonalds or anything:)
I've had no real problem doing this fast but am wondering if I'm really benefiting from it. I fasted for six days recently but felt I derived no good from it.
I expect the weeks after the fast should indicate any positive effect. I actually have 3 stomach ulcers and I've hear they can be cured through fasting so that would be a worthwhile outcome itself, but it's not something I'll be aware of for quite some time.
Fasting is widely accepted as a positive and beneficial thing to do so whoever is out there doing it, hang in there!
