The text is about "sport fasting" (sportvasten) and the protocol regarding this method consists of "op- en afbouw dagen": You're 'building up' to a certain phase in the method (only juice), and after that you're slowly getting yourself back into normal food and off fasting. I just don't seem to be able to come up with a suitable English term/translation however for both type of days..is there perhaps somebody out there who's brain is working today? ;-)
Thanks for your help, much appreciated.

ease-in / east-out phase
FYI, there's no such thing as a "sports fast"
Fasting and athletics are not compatible, and anyone involved in sports likely would not be "fasting" at all to beginwith, given that fasting deprives them of just the type of energy they need to be athletic. Sounds to me like you might be translating some cockamamie marketing crudd where they're trying to sell some fad idea (one that is likely highly unsupported medically/clinically). To any athlete who's ever followed an athletic diet regimen, this sounds like utter nonsense.
Anyhow, the Master Cleanse (a detox regimen) calls these ease-in and ease-out days. For the purposes of talking about them together, you could label them the ease-in / ease-out phase or the ease in/out phase.
Take your pick.

Lianne van de Ven
: A good alternative Brian. The 'sports fast' (diet rather than fast) is primarily focused on weight loss, where movement and sports are part of the (total) body make-over. Sure this is medically supported, and better than just fasting alone!
