🔴Keto With Fasting Let's Begin

JOIN ME - each week I lead patients on a fast while continuing the ketogenic diet the rest of the week.

WHY DO WE FAST:

-Improve the way your body listens to insulin

-Clean out more pockets of stored sugar in your liver and muscle cells (glycogen.)

-Surge hormones like growth hormone

-Trigger autophagy during the fast.

BE SURE you

1) Check your blood sugars. Mine at the start of this (actually about 6 hours into the fast) were 104 glucose and 1.0 blood ketones.

2) Be in ketosis for 2-4 weeks before you fast

3) Have a reason for fasting ... [that does not mean weight loss.. a real purpose]

Every time I feel like giving up, I pray or meditate on the reason why I am fasting. I never make it to 72 hours unless I have a really good reason for fasting. My best fasts happen when I am focusing on a patient & their journey.

CRUTCHES FOR NEWBIES- If this is your first fast, use these if you need help

1) Bone broth. Really salty born broth. This puts out the hunger and the warm liquid really helps.

2) Add FAT. Heavy whipping cream to the coffee or butter are great for the early fasters. As you mature in your fasting skill, drop these. But it is a wonderful crutch at the start.

3) IF you are really feeling punk, try exogenous ketones. They do help

The two most common questions I get ...

1) "Doc, what BLOOD METER do you recommend?"

ANSWERFORACARE

For years my diabetics told me this system was great. I tried several others before I bought this one. I can't count the number of times I have tested my blood only to get an ERROR message from the strip. Grrr. I hate that. FORACARE gets my vote because it is accurate and takes only ONE test strip to get the results. YES!!

2) "Doc, which Ketones-In-A-Can (aka exogenous ketones, BHB) do you recommend?"

EXOGENOUS KETONES BHBDr Boz BHB(affiliate link)

I don't recommend these in everyone. I have times this is a great solution for my patients that are very overweight and trying to get used to burning ketones for fuel. All keto supplements should have magnesium in them. This one does.

I own this Dr Boz brand and the Dr Boz supplements.
