Bone Broth One Day Fast

Posted on

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.

 

A Seat at The Table

Posted on

 

First, let’s define the table.

I consider the table to be any gathering place where people meet to discuss things.  I chose not to put the word “important” before people or things because individuals will decide for themselves who and what is important to them.

You might find the table here:

  • In a conference room
  • The cafeteria
  • A golf course
  • At a friend’s house
  • Your parent’s house

You get the point.  Discussions about finances, solving the world’s problems and special projects occur in many places, with many types of people who have many different types of responsibilities.

Do you have a seat at the table?  And if you do, are you making a positive impact on those seated with you?  Do you speak up or out when you have something to say?  Can you sit patiently and wait for the right moment to interject?  Do you listen, digest, prepare what you want to say and then listen a little more?

This is not the time to show off, however tempting that may be.  I try to remember the table is temporary, it’s not personal.  It’s simply a platform for discussion.  If not officially invited, it may be time to invite yourself.  “I see a seat is open.  May I sit there?”  That could be an actual statement or a metaphor.  Look for the “open seats” and invite yourself if not already there.  And when you’re at the table, participate fully.

This is a good start.  What do you think?
