So in my true dabbling nature, I’ve been dabbling some with the Ketogenic Diet. I first heard about Keto last year when I started teaching. I had a student struggling with a seizure disorder that had great success using this diet. Flash forward a year and a half and I’m searching Pinterest for meal plans. I live a very active lifestyle and am really not looking to lose a significant amount of weight but I’m getting married soon and just wanted to look really good. Plus when I don’t eat junk I just feel so much better! Anyway, so I started reading about Keto on Pinterest, because that is where I do like all my research.
Let me start by saying I am not a Keto pro. In reality, I am just starting the Keto journey and I google everything. I started with this post to really get me going and have just found recipes and such by searching Pinterest. That being said, I am fascinated by it and so far am loving the results. I’ve been somewhat following a Keto diet for two weeks now and have finally decided to kick it into full gear but starting out with a bone broth fast.
I’m a stress eater, a bored eater, and basically just an eater. The idea of a fast scares the crap out of me so I’m going to start with a modified version to “train” myself before doing a legit bone broth fast. You should totally do your research before trying this and consult a doctor if you are unsure. I am a healthy, active, twenty-five year old and feel completely safe in attempting this.
I did my research first (thanks Pinterest), and here is one of the best articles I found about the benefits of a bone broth fast. Most things I read suggested doing this for three days, and the thought of that terrifies me. Instead, I’m going to start with a single day and go from there. I’m also going to “supplement” my fast with come celery and carrot sticks and a little bit of NuWave
I’ve made my bone broth in my handy dandy Instant Pot
Here is my plan for my one day mini bone broth fast (wow that is a mouth full…)
Breakfast: 1 cup of broth
Morning Snack: 1/2 cup of broth and a few celery/carrot sticks
Lunch: 1 cup of broth and 1/2 chicken breast
Afternoon Snack: 1/2 cup broth and a few celery/carrot sticks
Dinner: 1 cup of broth and 1/2 chicken breast (maybe a few celery/carrot sticks if I feel hungry)
**by cup I mean a standard coffee cup because I’m not measuring this out exactly. **
This may not work but I’m willing to give it a try. You can have as much broth as you want so if I start feeling hungry I’ll probably drink a 1/2 cup of the broth. I’m also known to have bad muscle cramps so I’m going to keep a banana on hand just incase. I’ll also attempt to drink a gallon of water (probably with mio in it because I suck)
I’m super excited to give this a shot! After I try it, I’ll edit with a link to the results post.
