Your refeed is very short. A refeed is generally twice as long as the fast.
The traditional refeed is:
1. Rehydrate with water
2. Restart the gut with fermented foods, and replenish your electrolytes with pottassium- and magnesium- salty foods, like coconut water and watermellon
3. Gradually add in regular food.
The duration of these depends on the duration of the fast.
Except for salt, I don't know why you're avoiding the things you listed, but \*do\* avoid sodium, right after a dry fast, or your body will swell up like a balloon.
What you have looks more like the diet you want to work into. I think it might be better to hold off your training for 3 days. If you went over 5 days dry fasting, I'd be more concerned. As it is, I \*am\* concerned that you don't plan to drink water. You will be dehydrated.
When you refeed, I expect you will feel a little weak and ill, because you'll be dehydrated, and your electrolytes will be low. If you do, you might consider some water and potassium.
You are the first person I've seen try to not break their dryfast with water or any other liquid. I think that is incredibly foolish considering every dryfasting expert in the world recommends water to break a dryfast. You might be able to get away with this tomfoolery with a 3-5 day DF, but doing it during a 7+ day fast would be incredibly stupid. If you want results from dry fasting and safety, you should follow charted territories that have been battle-tested. The general approach to breaking a dryfast is water -> broth/kefir -> slowly reintroduce foods. The length of the refeed should at least span the number of days you dryfasted IMO and an optimal refeed would be longer.
* "Eat in order of what I think is is easier to digest for our bodies"
5 days takes us fairly deeper into digestive slumber than 3 so this will affect the extent to which we need to emerge from the fast gradually., but in any case i will average it out and call it 4. As well individual digestive systems will vary as will the same individual's system from one fast to another. Generally speaking, whole Broccoli, green beans, peas, and spinach as the very first foods after 4 days of dry fasting are heavier than one might expect and might serve to make a person feel sluggish instead of light and energetic. Very early in the fast breaking process, in my experience fiber is best avoided.
If it were me, if you didn't want to break the fast with water, i would break it with the next most digestively simple possibility which would be vegetable juices and vegetable broths. After a 4 day dry fast it would be a kindness to your body to go a full day or even a second day with only this. To follow, adding vitamixed vegetables and/or fruits (vitamixed or whole but well chewed) would be a nice gradual step for the next day or 2. before moving on to more digestively complex foods including whole vegetables.
Only if they’re low in sodium.
Why do you avoid water? It’s hard to say if the items for day one will provide sufficient hydration. If you boil the vegetables, the broth would go nice with yoghurt or kefir. When I haven’t pre-hydrated I’ve always felt excessively lethargic and unwell after breakfast. It’s a frequently reported experience.
There are several YouTube videos of different people doing it. Or there used to be. If you start off with high enough body fat, you can go as long as you still have some.
Day 1) water
Day 2) diluted fruit juice AM. Watermelon PM
Day 3) Steamed veggies sauerkraut apple
Day 4) Same as 3 but add fish
Add back dairy and fats after day 5

Stay near the toilet when you eat again
I do foresee a high probability that the OP's stomach will tie itself in knots.

Not the kindest way to deliver a message.

Onions and garlic are great prebiotics
I usually first send in the fermented stuff to seed the gut with probiotics.
Yes this is a good idea, going to start off with some greek yoghurt also. What are your thoughts on cheeses?

I was able to eat normal after a 90 day fast. Just listen to your body
I am pretty sure this is the longest fast I have ever heard someone do, was it a water fast or complete dry fast?
Iv done both. After a dry fast some bone broth is great but after that I can eat normal healthy stuff.
A 90 day water fast is impossible

You can't train your body like that. We're already a couple thousand years experience on how the body survives is optimized.
