“Today was my second mini fast of the week this was soooo incredibly hard…I’ve never done two fasts in one week. I also ran for 15-20 mins in the evening and that was a terrible idea…it made me very hungry. Later in the night, I definitely had a shorter temper than normal…probably due to frustrations around not being able to eat.” Funny enough, I still have loads of energy. It’s probably due to the fact that I essentially carbo-loaded over the weekend…really struggling with stomach…really freaking hungry. I drank bone broth and hunger went away…more stomach growling today than the 1st fast. My stomach was growling right around lunch time. I’m at a coffee shop this morning and the smell of breakfast tacos makes eating something hard to resist. “The smell of food is killing me…predicting today to be a bit harder due to caloric limitations from the past two days. I wasn’t starving, but it was definitely a struggle to avoid foods that I could chew and I was ecstatic to be drinking a smoothie by 7pm! Thank goodness all I did today was walk and stretch.” I did option two – 5 cups bone broth and one smoothie at 7pm. 1:30pm had slight hunger, but I feel great…Sleeping: hunger is coming back strong right as I’m trying to go to sleep.” Slurped up 60 calories of K & F around 12pm. The morning went fine but stomach started growling around 11:30am. “I started the detox after a weekend of drinking and eating bad foods (thanks, Cinco de Mayo). Here’s what we wrote in our journals about how our hunger levels shifted around throughout the week (it’s actually all pretty hilarious): At the same time, we also simultaneously experienced clarity. You better believe we experienced hunger! We felt it big time all throughout the week especially on the fasting days (duh!). I kept having to resist alcohol and non-paleo temptations.” Did We Get Hungry Doing this Bone Broth Detox? Also, it felt harder at times to manage my stomach issues…my body just wants to eat, eat, eat…going to a group dinner at a Mexican restaurant was a pain in the ass. “I felt what I thought were symptoms in the late afternoon. “Later in the night, I definitely had a shorter temper than normal…probably due to frustrations with not being able to eat.” Oh, and I totally understand where Jack’s coming from with these quotes from of his journal entries on days 3-4 – Morning grogginess (because no one wants to wake up and not eat…).Coldness at night (especially at bedtime).Anxiety (…what the hell did I get myself into?!).Short temperateness (…who doesn’t get a little hangry?! I mean seriously…).Headaches (…I’m always prone to these when making a dietary switch).Here were some of the ‘carb flu’ symptoms we actually experienced between days 1-4(and occasionally towards the end of the week, but much less so than at the beginning): With that in mind, if and when you try out this particular bone broth detox for yourself, note that any adjustments in carb intake may result in flu-like symptoms. I most certainly went through an adjustment period and felt the effects. However, hopping on this bone broth detox did show me that I had been eating more than I’d eaten in the past. I definitely don’tlike to teach people to be ‘carbophobes’ because carbohydrates certainly have their place. I’m not entirely sure about Jack and Justin (for as much as we all chat, we’re actually not roomies P ), but my diet isn’t terribly high in carbs to begin with. Our bodies and cells have to learn how to re-establish connections, and use good fuel for, well, GOOD. When we change that up, it throws our fuel reserves into confusion. Basically, our bodies are used to the sugary, carb-y diets we tend to opt for. Why does the carb flu tend to happen? Because your body is both rebelling against and adapting to a new primary source or energy – fat. It’s something that’s commonly experienced during the first two weeks of The Bone Broth Diet. The ‘carb flu’ doesn’t feel much different than the regular flu, to be honest. ![]() Let’s Talk Bone Broth Detox & the ‘Carb Flu’ We’re documenting the process as we go along, alternating between bone broth detox fasting days and non-fasting days, and wanted to share how the first 7 days have gone for us so far. We jumped into this bone broth detox + biohacking eperiment full tilt boogie. Which is why we chose to put ourselves through a 21-day Bone Broth Diet challenge. Because the truth is, knowledge is nothing without action. So, why don’t we give The Bone Broth Diet a try and share the results with our readers?!”Īnd, that’s exactly what we’re doing. So, as Jack, Justin and myself were chatting about how we could share even more great content + education material with all of you, we randomly stumbled upon a light-bulb moment, in which one of us said: ![]() I covered what it is (it’s basically a bone broth detox) and how it works pretty extensively. The other day I talked all about the bone broth diet.
