Fasting

Fasting Protocol 

  • Start fasting / Extreme Keto (12-16 hrs) right away!!
  • Fasting – 24-26 hrs, then break the fast by eating the runny egg yolks w/ fully cooked egg whites, avocado and other healthy fats, like grass fed butter, coconut oil, wait 1-3 hrs, after eating that, then consume the fibrous foods.
  • Go on another 24-26 hr fast, repeat for 5 days straight. Then for 2 or 3 days, eat more and more often.
  • At least one fast (over 36 hrs) once a month and if you’re able to, a 72 hr fast is best. 

Fasting Tips

  1. If you don’t feel good when fasting, then you shouldn’t be fasting.
  2. It takes time ( 6 weeks on average ) to get the body fat-adapted, where the body is burning fat for fuel and the liver is producing ketones.
  3. When you can go all day without being hungry, and you feel good, no brain fog, no issues, whatsoever, then your body is fat-adapted and then you’ll be ready to do prolonged fasts ( 48+ hr fasts )
  4. The trick to avoiding hunger is simply in your need to increase your consumption of healthy fats. 

Fasting / Metabolic Health 

Fasting, ( how many hours and how many days in a row depend on your metabolic health.) It varies greatly for everyone. We need 18/6 (18 hours of fasting, to trigger Autophagy ) See how long you can fast before you start feeling bad, then put in 1/8 tsp of pink Himalayan sea salt (or Celtic or Redmond Real Salt ) in a 10-12 oz glass of filtered water, stir, and drink. If you don’t feel better w/ in 10 minutes, end your fast.
