Disclaimer: This is a snippet of what I have learned by reading and working with my trainer and seeing and feeling the results myself. Your results may vary. Always check with your physician before making any drastic changes to your diet.
For me, I pick a day here and there to “clean the gut”. Here’s how I do the one-day fast:
- Start the day with a cup of coffee – for creamer, use something fatty like organic heavy whipping cream or coconut oil
- Then heat up 8 oz of bone broth and enjoy it
- When I get hungry mid morn, I eat a handful of almonds (can be any kind of nut or seed)
- For lunch, heat up another 8 oz of bone broth and enjoy it
- Afternoon snack, or with dinner, eat a whole avocado – add a little bit of sea salt and lemon pepper for spice or whatever you want
- Dinner is the last 8 oz of broth – enjoy
- Tea and water throughout the day and night as you wish – keep it plain though
- Also… please take it easy the day of your one-day fast… depending on how much sugar your body is used to processing, you may feel a little headache. Drink even more water if you start to feel a headache coming on. Just know whatever you are feeling, it is your body’s way of flushing out the bad stuff – those feelings will go away. Hang in there!

You can get the bone broth at Whole Foods, frozen section. One 24-ounce package is about $10. I’ve recently seen it at Trader Joe’s for about $3 for 17 ounces.
