What can I consume?
The golden rule of fasting: If it doesn't spike your insulin and contains zero calories, it is allowed.
1. Liquids (Hydration)
Essential for detox and kidney function.
Must be black! No milk or sugar. Boosts fat burning.
Rich in antioxidants and improves focus.
Avoid fruit teas due to potential hidden sugars.
Water calculation: 0.5 fl oz × body weight in lbs. (Add +17–34 fl oz extra during a fast).
2. Electrolytes (Minerals)
To avoid "Keto Flu" (headaches, dizziness), you must replenish minerals flushed out by the kidneys.
3,000–5,000 mg/day – Mix high-quality salt into your water.
1,000–3,000 mg/day – Use "Lite Salt" or potassium supplements.
300–450 mg/day – Best: Citrate or Glycinate.
Calculation: 2.7 mg × body weight in lbs.
3. Vitamins
Helps manage cortisol and stress.
Essential for energy, but may cause nausea on an empty stomach. Take in divided doses.
WARNING: If you experience constant dizziness, muscle tremors, or heart palpitations, stop your fast immediately and replenish your electrolytes!
