It wasĀ Fast Well Week forĀ Wellness Warriorsā¢. Itās not the week we look forward to ā¦
⦠unless we have plenty of experience and KNOW how much we can improve our health in just a few days.
Every extended fast is different ⦠depending on what has happened between fasts.
In my case, Iāve been traveling and adjusting to staying for extended periods in a new country.Ā āļø
My routine has been disrupted in many ways for the better ⦠but not necessarily where my diet is concerned.Ā š½ļø
So, I was overdue for an extended fast to clear the internal clutter.
Have you built up some internal clutter? It shows up as symptoms like a rounder belly, joint pain, skin issues, brain fog ā¦
ā¦Ā add your own experience to the list!Ā š
Honestly, the fast wasnāt too difficult. Itās more of a mind mastery exercise. Our world revolves around meal planning ā¦
⦠or not planning which is what actually creates a problem.
No planning required for Fast Well Week ⦠after the first 2 days. Itās just execution.
I always measure my blood glucose and ketones with a KetoMojo during the fast. Typically, several times/day.
Itās the best way to monitor your metabolic flexibility. If youāre not producing ketones, your body isnāt functioning properly.
Trust me. It gets more responsive with every fast.
In this case, I felt pretty ālowā on the 3rd morning.Ā The KetoMojo gave me solid data.Ā My blood sugar was low.Ā šļø
The fast was done!
Itās SOOOO important to measure. Sometimes itās just an electrolyte deficiency. If my blood sugar was within normal limits, I would have supplemented with electrolytes and extended the fast for a few more hours.
Every time I fast (and Iāve been fasting for decades), I realize that the benefits far outweigh the discomfort.
When Iām in need of a deeper cleaning, I fast for 3 days every month.Ā š
I remind myself ⦠itās not that hard. And, if you eat out regularly like I do, you can use the money you save to buy a KetoMojo if you donāt already have one.
The next time you fast, spend a bit and add some advanced self-care ⦠like a massage. It supports your body to release the toxicity.
Every month,Ā Wellness Warriorsā¢Ā do a āsprintā like this. It isnāt always focused on physical health. Sometimes,Ā the focus is on something even more important ā¦Ā mental and emotional health.
