Ultimate Fasting Prep Tips in Detail

Ok, so I’m often seeing questions on melatonin, mct oil, glutathione, bone broth, LMNT, and magnesium. First off after lots and lots of water fasts and Guinea pigging with myself and the group fasts at the gym, by and large most everyone seems to be able to tolerate a fast for 48hrs. After that certain people have issues. This is because the body burns off its normal glycogen fuel and without the body having used ketones in a long time, (if ever frankly as Americans,) it doesn’t know what to do. It starts dumping hormones and for lack of fuel reasons it then reaches for the next closest thing to glycogen in fatty acids. Long and short is, this stark change will make some people violently ill. Keto flu for some is mild but others are as sick as a real flu for up…

Let’s do this!!! Ok lots of questions, comments, and fun can come out of sharing in our misery together on a fast! Tonight eat a clean whole food, low carb, high healthy fat dinner and then brush your teeth to shut off any thoughts of dessert or nighttime snacking. This is our official fasting thread!
