I went to my husband's doctor, who calls my husband up once a year, ask how he is doing, and considers that his annual check up. The doctor ran test and said my blood sugar was a little high (100). He told me to lose weight and change my eating, then he would check my labs in 3 months. I lost 40 pounds and cut carbs. When I went back in 3 months, before running any lab test, he said he was going to aggressively treat me with prescription drugs. I immediately found a new doctor. She works with me. She listens to me and we bounce ideas off each other. (I have a MS degree). She had me read Dr. Fung's book on diabetes. My last 4 of my a1C labs have been normal just following the fasting and watching carbs. But.....I am sooooo excited to start following you because of 2 issues. The first is that my weight loss has hit a plateau. The second is that on Dr. Fung's fast you do not eat any food. By the end of the day on a no food fast, I am sick as a dog. I had already thought about a bone broth fast when I smelled the bone broth when I was cooking it for a recipe. Then I found your videos and I feel like it gave the info I needed to make it successful. I can't wait to see if it will stabilize my blood sugar (It is still a little high some mornings.) and to discuss it with my new doctor. She will be excited!
I have heard several doctor say that everybody’s A1c is typically high in the mornings. It’s very typical, because the body has been working to get rid of the junk while you are sleeping.
Any calories will take you out of the fasting state which means no autophagy. However, you will stay in fat burning. Did a 28 day water fast then broke my fast with bone broth and it was delicious after so long. Fasting is so beneficial.
@FeelinErie Exactly 28 pounds. 11 pounds the first week. 7 pounds the second week and then it allowed down significantly. 6 the third week and then 4 the last week. When I started eating, 3 pounds came immediately back. Just gained water weight because you are depleted after so long.
Like#594 👍 Will do 3 days next week before my vacation to Florida for a week, then repeat upon my return. Looking to release 20+ lbs I've be holding hostage 😅 since last summer ☀️
I love the idea of blending the broth with other things for flavor and additional benefits. I am on my 2nd day of broth fast and I feel great, let see how long I can hold it.
Hello, much appreciate your knowledge on fasting with bone broth vedio. The bone broth daily schedule looks like a winner. Was hospitalized 4 days with colon issues. Really think this will be excellent for my gut. Thank you!
Hi .. I’ve read dr gundry’s book that bone broth is high in lead and arsenic . Is daily consumption ok ? I wud luv to try this method of fasting otherwise. Great video , loved it ❤
Want to do bone broth fast to help with SIBO and sucrose intolerance caused by autoimmune medicine I was taking for RA. I don’t weight much, so I appreciate advice on how to do the fast for gut health and not loose weight.
This is a long way from a fast with greens, fish, added fat and coconut milk. It's no doubt a great way to give your body a rest from all that digestive work but you're consuming proteins and fats in the broth and coconut milk. It's "food"! Not sure that autophagy would happen much, if at all.
Autophagy occurs in calorie restriction, keto, and exercise actually. Markers such as mTOR respond dynamically to carbs and insulin but to fats and even not significantly to amino acids actually. I talk about this in a blog and note amount of glutamine needed to interfere…it’s a significant amount of protein.
I love what you are saying here because it seems like a compromise between a water fast but..................... ...........we are alwasy told that a true fast allows only for water and / or black coffee / tea with a bit of stevia. I am almost 100 hours into a fast with no idea when I will break, and wonder ifg I were doing what you recommend here...............what wieght loss differences would there be if any, and does this change what should be eaten when the fast is broke. It sounds too good to be ture that I can actually do a fast and still eat salmon. We keep hearing how the protein will make the insulin spike.
Is it better to do a bone broth fast rather than a pure water fast? I'm 7% body fat - very athletic. Love the health benefits of long fasts, however am already very low body fat so don't want to screw up my hormones. Thanks for any advice anyone :)
YES! This is a much more gentle and nourishing fast for those with lower % body fat. You will likely want to add the fat as we recommend in the video too as you don't have body fat to spare. Remember, hormones are made from FAT!
I would not do this while breastfeeding. Once your child is predominantly transitioned to solids or just comfort feeding you could do the gentle fast where you still consume one meal.
Wife’s blood test results are all expressing inflammation (including thyroid). Doing this tomorrow! Thank you ladies!!!
Happy to help, let us know how it goes!

How many lbs did you lose after the 28 days?

@@Smarion2how did you do the water fast?
@@Smarion2Sounds correct. Unusual a person loses 1 pound of fat a day.
@@tottryship5608So far I've lost 9.6 lbs in 10.5 days doing first alternate day fasting and now I'm at the end of a 72 hour fast. Thats the same rate
Like#594 👍

Never done this before but have heard about the health benefits and wanted to research it. Thank you for you video
Awesome happy to provide the resource
Looking to do one for sure

Hello, much appreciate your knowledge on fasting with bone broth vedio.
The bone broth daily schedule looks like a winner.
Was hospitalized 4 days with colon issues. Really think this will be excellent for my gut.
Thank you!
Hope you have a speedy recovery!
I will be using this way of eating without the fats unless necessary starting today.
Ok! You got this
Thank you Ali for sharing your knowledge on bone broth fasts!
My pleasure! Happy to have your delish products to make it enjoyable

Thanks for letting us know and commenting!
Excellent video, thanks
Glad you liked it!
Love the intro dance, ladies! 😂
Thanks!
After the 3 days how should I reintroduce food?
Do you use canned coconut milk? How many oz?
We do use canned coconut milk. Check out this recipe. You'll love it!

Two to three quarts a day for a bone broth fast! Yikes! That is around 64 ounces to 96 ounces a day. A lot of consuming of liquids for sure.
Ifyou have a hypothyroidism is it safe to do a bone broth fasting before trying it
I'm on day 2, feel very fatigued and light headed. what would you recommend? I add fats to the broth
He probably need to add electrolytes. Add some Redmond real salt. And also drink water on top of it.
Could you use lard as a fat substitute?
Yes totally

To be clear, you aren't fasting if you are eating salmon. This is a more "modified fasting" approach or fasting mimicking approach.

@@naturallynourishedRD Thank you so much. :)
3 day? Why not extend it longer??
3 days is a great starting point, you can extend longer based on your body's feedback.
Why call this a fast if you're adding food?
I want to start the bone broth fast so what’s the best bone broth to buy
Make your own! Check out this video th-cam.com/video/l_UdnBM4_HU/w-d-xo.html
Or get Fond Bone Broth, they taste great and it's the easiest option
I'm vegan. Is it possible to share vegan broth?
can it be beef broth or chicken? cant stand bone broth🤔
Try FOND! You really want bone broth for the gut support.
This couldn’t be further from a fast 😂
Why? Lots of different types of fasting. This one promotes lean muscle mass :)
I want to do this, I’m breastfeeding, don’t want to interfere with my milk supply. Just curious your take on this situation?
I would not do this while breastfeeding. Once your child is predominantly transitioned to solids or just comfort feeding you could do the gentle fast where you still consume one meal.
Is this going to give diarrhea?
Like, this is a REAL question.
Great question. We did a video on "troubleshooting your bone broth fast" and we answer this here.
