3 Day Bone Broth Fast

If you've been curious about how to do a 3 day bone broth fast, we break it down here! We do a rundown of what a day on a bone broth fast looks like including timing, other beverages to include during your fast, whether or not to add fat and how you can customize your fast for best results. We will review some of the main benefits of bone broth fasting and walk you through a day in the life of a bone broth fast
Some of the main benefits of doing a 3 day bone broth fast are:
1. Provides gut rest and aids in repairing inflamed tissue
2. Support autophagy or cellular surveillance and cleanup
3. Promotes autoimmune remission
4. Aids in weight loss and body fat burn
5. Provides glycine, an amino acid that is supportive of a keto diet and aids in gaba production to mellow out mood
A bone broth fast can be used alongside your 10 Day detox quarterly or after a weekend of indulgence when in need of a reset. While we like to "soup up" our broth, a bone broth fast can be as simple as sipping one 2 - 3 quarts of bone broth throughout the day. In fact, if you have excess body fat to burn you may not need the added fat at all. In this video, we cover a more "deluxe" version that would support someone close to optimal body composition featuring:
7 am - drink 8-16 ounces of water
7 am - green tea with lemon
9:30 am - 1 Tbsp olive oil with a generous pinch of mineral sea salt, use nori sheets to dip if desired
1:30 pm - 16 oz bone broth simmered with 4 oz wild cod and 2 cups of leafy greens
4pm - 16 oz bone broth blended with turmeric, coconut milk, and lime
7pm - 1 jar Fond bone broth @fondbonebroth
9pm - herbal tea
Drink additional water as needed throughout the day aiming for 1-2 liters (the bone broth and tea contain a lot of water already so this is decreased from our normal recommendation of 2-3 liters!)

Thank you Ali for sharing your knowledge on bone broth fasts!

[@naturallynourishedRD]

My pleasure! Happy to have your delish products to make it enjoyable

[@melissavilas5556]

Never done this before but have heard about the health benefits and wanted to research it. Thank you for you video

[@naturallynourishedRD]

Awesome happy to provide the resource

[@jacklynmontanez351]

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!

[@naturallynourishedRD]

Hope you have a speedy recovery!

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!

[@naturallynourishedRD]

Awesome! Wish you the best of luck. Check out this video if you have interest in using a CGM kzbin.info/www/bejne/h5bIc4Zrrs9nmcU

[@christskingdom8950]

Wife’s blood test results are all expressing inflammation (including thyroid). Doing this tomorrow! Thank you ladies!!!

[@naturallynourishedRD]

Happy to help, let us know how it goes!

[@pennyburford643]

Excellent video, thanks

[@naturallynourishedRD]

Glad you liked it!

[@shilpapenmatcha5294]

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 ❤

[@natashiaolive9704]

I will be using this way of eating without the fats unless necessary starting today.

[@naturallynourishedRD]

Ok! You got this

[@r.awilson7402]

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 ☀️

[@JaniceLifestyleInfluencer]

Looking to do one for sure

[@naturallynourishedRD]

Let's go!

[@Smarion2]

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]

How many lbs did you lose after the 28 days?

[@Smarion2]

@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.

[@harrisireful]

@@Smarion2how did you do the water fast?

[@extremegirlny]

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.

[@naturallynourishedRD]

Awesome to hear it!

[@adzonzi1]

Love the intro dance, ladies! 😂

[@naturallynourishedRD]

Thanks!

[@TobyCalabrese-wp5jx]

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.

[@naturallynourishedRD]

Thanks for letting us know and commenting!

[@virginiamcdowell2776]

Ifyou have a hypothyroidism is it safe to do a bone broth fasting before trying it

[@jeremynachtman4626]

After the 3 days how should I reintroduce food?

[@katherinek1525]

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 :)

[@naturallynourishedRD]

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!

[@katherinek1525]

@@naturallynourishedRD Thank you so much. :)

[@maximusiii5122]

This couldn’t be further from a fast 😂

[@timgutierrez2211]

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.

[@naturallynourishedRD]

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

[@melissaf1985]

Do you use canned coconut milk? How many oz?

[@naturallynourishedRD]

We do use canned coconut milk. Check out this recipe. You'll love it! kzbin.info/www/bejne/bZiTZ2WpiZ6rh80

[@ne5464]

I'm on day 2, feel very fatigued and light headed. what would you recommend? I add fats to the broth

[@nogames8982]

He probably need to add electrolytes. Add some Redmond real salt. And also drink water on top of it.

[@lilmommalexy2483]

Could you use lard as a fat substitute?

[@naturallynourishedRD]

Yes totally

[@seshadrideepak]

I'm vegan. Is it possible to share vegan broth?

[@phiedrawoods2492]

I want to start the bone broth fast so what’s the best bone broth to buy

[@naturallynourishedRD]

Make your own! Check out this video kzbin.info/www/bejne/opC4laF4gpmSfrc Or get Fond Bone Broth, they taste great and it's the easiest option

[@8176morgan]

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.

[@TimGreig]

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.

[@naturallynourishedRD]

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.

[@bageltv3489]

3 day? Why not extend it longer??

[@naturallynourishedRD]

3 days is a great starting point, you can extend longer based on your body's feedback.

[@thexavierfamily172]

can it be beef broth or chicken? cant stand bone broth🤔

[@naturallynourishedRD]

Try FOND! You really want bone broth for the gut support.

[@breezybreeze730]

Why call this a fast if you're adding food?

[@daniellavisciglio7676]

I want to do this, I’m breastfeeding, don’t want to interfere with my milk supply. Just curious your take on this situation?

[@naturallynourishedRD]

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.

[@stephaniewalton8061]

Is this going to give diarrhea?

[@melissaann2866]

Like, this is a REAL question.

[@naturallynourishedRD]

Great question. We did a video on "troubleshooting your bone broth fast" and we answer this here. kzbin.info/www/bejne/n6esnZxqesqee5I
