Finished the sardine challenge, did it for 4 days. Monday 24 hrs fasting, started Tuesday with sardines and finished Friday evening. It wasn't as hard as I imagined, sardine are very saciating. Lost 7 pounds.
Just tried the sardine challenge this past week. I'm diabetic and I've been a fairly strict carnivore for about 4 months and I think I'm fat adapted. Anyway, my blood pressure was still kind of high and some days, I'm forced to use small shots of insulin to get my sugars down. bla bla bla anyway, I started on a Thursday. That night and for the next 3 nights, every 2 and a half hours I was up to urinate. You could almost set your clock by the frequency. My glucose flat lined except for a spike it the mornings. ( some syndrome bla bla bla ). The thing that jazzes me up is when I checked my blood pressure, I was in normal rage.. Let me say that again, after having high blood pressure for 10+ years, I WAS IN NORMAL RANGE!!!!!!!
We solved my hubbys decades of high blood pressure with VitD3 and potassium pills!! he took 10,000 iu of VitD3 every day for a week, along with potassium pills (from the health food store) and the next DAY his bp was DOWN a LOT!! he couldnt believe it!! after a week, he trimmed the VitD3 down to 3,000 iu per day. so easy
I live in France, 🇨🇵 so can't buy the magazine. However, sardines are a huge thing here, people LOVE them. My local store has about 50 different varieties of sardines, all skin-on bone-in. White wine and lemon? Tapenade style? Spanish chorizo? Shallots and Champagne vinegar? Hot and spicy tomato? Puttanesca? I even took a picture to prove it! Maybe I should send it to Dr Boz! 💜
@@mij9520 Yes, 90% of them are in EVOO, just with FLAVOUR added. Just checked the tin with the shallots and white wine vinegar: 1.1g carbs for 100g (the tin is 115g.) I mash them up into the olive oil and juice and eat it with freshly ground white pepper. Delicious!
@LaCheshireChat Heyyy Cheshire Bird:) You have left us to live with Frogs 🐸 Bad girl!! So could you tell me please if you mash the sardines then how could you eat them I don't understand!! Mash sardines are not different than tiny meats......I'm confused 😐
@@Rikki-lh2mw Hiya! La Cheshire CAT! And I really don't like frog's legs, but my children do! I take the sardines, open the tin, tip them out into a bowl with the oil and the juices in the can. Then I take a fork, and mush them up. I might add some freshly grated garlic, some parmesan cheese, some lemon juice, some siracha sauce or Dijon mustard and freshly ground white or black pepper. Sometimes I eat them just like that, in front of the television because I'm not paying attention to what I'm sticking in my gob. (Bad girl habit!) And sometimes I put the sardines in a leaf of baby gem lettuce, like a wrap. It's not a "proper fast" but I do what I need to do to get there! It's working, and that is what is important to me!

@LaCheshireChat Good Evening, my dear (I hope that I don't sound like an old man) I thank you so much for your kind, quick reply 🙏 so sweet of you, Yes, I did try and didn't like the frog legs, so at least we are both common something between us:) The recipe of yours:.It sounds really yummy. I will try it definitely with lettuce. you are not breaking the law... I have not done a survey, but I guess 50% of lettuce is water, so it's healthy anyway. May I ask this please, apart from your original comment on here, how long have you been doing this diet? Thank you and sweet dreams to you and your family XxX
Yes! I just lost 10 pounds in 4 days! The first day was really hard, but the next day was better and by the third day, I wasn't even hungry, but I ate the sardines anyway because I didn't want my body think I was starving it and defeat the purpose.
I just completed the 72 hour sardine challenge for the fourth time in several months. I was looking forward to eating the cheeseburger casserole in my freezer that I made last week. Yesterday I ate only one can early in the day and didn’t give food another thought. (Highly unusual!) So, I ate the last can this morning and feel great. Blood sugar is low and ketones are high. Just what I need for serious autoimmune issues to heal. I feel so good, I may just wait until another day for the casserole. Congrats to Patty! So wonderful! Congrats and many thanks to you Dr Boz! You are a blessing to so many people❤
@@catistrolling7333 hi! I'm down 20 pounds now. The sardine challenge is not easy, but I've grown to love them. They are my go to, especially if I'm hungry at a time I shouldn't be. I try hard not to snack and I've even gone OMAD because I just don't get that hungry! I feel great.
On third day of sardine fast I had planned to water fast but 36 hours after my last sardine I felt awful, so I ate a can of sardines. When I woke up this morning (day 4) my blood sugar was 80 and my ketones were 3.2! That is a DBR of 25! This has motivated me to continue with a water fast starting today. Update: the following morning (day 5) my blood glucose was 77 and ketones were 4.2 - that is a Dr Boz ratio of 17! Autophagy!
I have tried fasting, with nothing but water. I had nothing but water for 7 days. I lost nothing ! ! ! And ... I have heard that fasting actually raises blood sugar. It is better to eat low calorie rather than eat nothing ... supposedly, you need to give your body something to burn, otherwise, the body thinks that it is starving and holds onto everything. And ... if you do lose weight from fasting ... as soon as you eat normally, the scale goes up again ... because you are really not losing weight, you are only losing water.
@@victoryluck everyone’s body reacts differently- that is why I recommend keeping a journal of what and when you are eating in addition to recording blood sugars. For those of us with excess fat, our bodies have plenty to burn for energy. Some people drink real bone broth or coffee with butter (keeping calories under 400 for the day) to help remain in autophagy
wild-caught salmon and sardines are not only the healthiest foods on the planet, but both are enormously satisfying to eat. just one small can of the stuff can keep one satisfied pretty much for the entire day
I haven't done the "sardine challenge" per say, but I have been using them to offset my protein intake instead of other fatty meats, or really pricey salmon. I can say you hit the nail on the head when you said, "You don't want the sardines when you aren't hungry" Sure, I've lost a few pounds, but now all my joint pain and inflammation are totally gone after I gave up all carbs and sugars. Even my plantar fasciitis is totally gone after suffering crippling pain for years. Hard to exercise when you can't even walk to the mailbox. I used to feel weighted down, like I literally had another person standing on my shoulders.
I wish my bunions would disappear! I had PF too n was able to get corrective pricey sneakers & Birkenstocks n do stretches etc. there’s ZERO to be done for bunions, I’ve tried anything I could! It’s agonizing besides never wearing any but very ugly shoes.
Dr Boz. I lost around 40 pounds 3 years ago and have had some loose skin since. It’s bothered me, but I’ve always said it’s better than the alternative… 😅 I did two weeks ago your three day sardine challenge. (24 hours fast before and after) Not only did I feel awesome those days but my loose skin reduced significantly! I still have some loose skin but it’s definitely a tremendous improvement! I wanted to share this with you and also wanted to say THANKYOU!
@@ich6636 to say the skin was lost because of the eating of sardines sound ridiculous. What you have to say is that deep ketosis causes autophagy within the body. Ergo lost skin.
I just finished a sardine challenge today at 1PM. It wasn't nearly as hard as I made it out to be. The mind had me thinking they would be slimy and crunchy....but actually more like tuna.
@@keepdancingmaria thanks. I’m 36 hours in, and sardines aren’t awful. I think I agree about tuna. My only problem(?) is that I can only eat 3, _maybe_ 4 cans a day. 600-800 calories leaves me a little flat.
That's awesome. Bless her heart! I lost over 60 lbs in 4 months and felt so many bad health problems disappear. I know how she feels to get her life back. Like I said, God bless her!
I'm 63 and not overweight, but I've had a little more body fat than what I would like. I've never been into dieting and have been at about the same weight all of my adult life. This is day 2 of the sardine challenge and when I got on the scales this morning I'm down 2.5 lbs and my body fat percentage is also going down. I've never seen these kinds of results this fast with anything I've ever done before. I'm thinking about continuing the sardine challenge for a week.
If you really wanna see the pounds drop away, cut out the seed oil, canola, soy,corn- instead use Extra-virgin olive oil, and coconut oil and grass fed butter.
Hi Dr Boz! I have been on the ketogenic diet since 2017. I have lost 223 pounds. I am going to add 72 hour sardine fasts to my weekly regimen to get that last 15 pounds off. The sardine fast was amazing! BUT, can you tell us, or do a video on how to break a fast the proper way so that you do not regain the weight after the fast? After completing the 72 hour fast, I am regaining about half of the weight that I lost during the fast!
I've done that 3-4 day, sardines (1 can in olive oil) and scrambled eggs (2) in OMAD diet about 3-4 times already . I do it when i hit a wall and cannot cross over. I can confirm... I lose about 0.4 to 0.6kgs from the 2nd day of starting sardine fast. Then resume 0.2 kgs/day on normal Keto OMAD. I am astonished how simple it is now, to break the wall.
@@Michelle-oz1jc correct. I have meal between 10-11 am. Early mornings I have 1-2 cups black coffee. In addition, I have a tablespoon of Apple cider vinegar, diluted in water, just after my meal. Also, I have a history of gout flareups. Draft (beer) and sea food (specifically sardines) are top two that trigger it. So during my first sardine fast, i kept one hand on Gout medication. Amazingly, if seems, OMAD help me escape Gout attack. I wish someone could confirm if this is the case. Good luck to you.
@@TakaluKevin yes exactly what I’m talking about. I’ve been doing keto/carnivore for 8 years. In that time I’ve read many comments and talked with many people that had gout. All of them have said they never have a problem since going keto or carnivore.
OMG! I am 52 years years old and until this week have never eaten a sardine before in my life. I LOVE THEM!! Why was I so scared to eat these before? They are so delicious! They taste milder and even better than tuna and I’ve loved tuna since I was a kid. I am so ready to do my first 3-day sardine fast. Once you get past the initial appearance of the tiny fish inside of the can, the taste will actually surprise you. I can eat them right out of the can on the go but look forward to try and fry them up with some butter at home for more variety. Thank you so much, Dr. Boz!! ❤️
I also never ate sardines, until I heard about them on RUclips ... I think it is because there are no commercials for sardines, and you never hear about anyone eating sardines for lunch at the deli, and you never see a special at the restaurant for sardines ... you only hear about tuna. I used to eat tuna ... but I always hated the strong smell .... and I couldn't enjoy tuna without mayo. I couldn't enjoy tuna just in a plate, it had to be in some kind of sandwich. I dont notice any smell with sardines ... and I dont feel the need for the mayo or bread ... and they taste much better than the tuna. I just melt a little butter in a frying pan, stir the sardines in the pan until they are hot for less than 2 minutes, and they are done with a little salt ... no other cooked meal is so quick.
I just tried them for the first time as well cause for whatever reason they always sounded scary 😂 but they’re AMAZING. Why do people find them so bad I wonder.
I did my first day of 3 cans. Woke up lost 3 pounds! Today I ate 3 cans but this time I added nori seaweed sheets for some variety and crunch. So much better that way and the calories/ carbs in seaweed are almost 0....I can't wait to weigh myself tomorrow!!
I saw your 72 hour challenge a few months ago and I was intrigued. I am keto and love sardines, so... what the heck, why not. Going to say, this was easy. I was rarely hungry. I ate a max of 5 cans a day (this coming from a bottomless pit). My mood and mental health dramatically improved. My ketone sky rocketed, but the big one, I broke a month long stall and lost an additional 9 lbs. I have now been doing this fast once a month since and have seen similar results each time. Blood work is in 2 months, and I am exited to see what happens. Thank you :)
I did it Thank you and I eat every 24 hours 3 cans with oil and water and one coffee with salt it works. I lost 3 pounds and with out hangers I promise for my self to do every other week and I am a breast cancer survivor for 3 years when I went for my six months infusions rotten so my blood work cames wonderful this time my recovery time only one day not a week. Thank you so much
Dr. Boz, thank you for pushing this education! Everything I was taught about low fat, eat less move more, and the habit of disease treatment not prevention, was wrong. I will be 50 this year and taking charge of my health! 🤬. I'd forgotten how much I used to love sardines, eating them as a kid with my Dad, as did my children. Each can reminds me of him ❤❤❤❤❤❤. You are missed, Daddy! 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
Congratulations, Dr. Boz! I've watched many of your videos, including several 72-hour sardine challenge videos. I haven't attempted the challenge yet, but have incorporated them into my ketovore (90-95% carnivore) diet. If I feel that I need a little more food after my dinner, I'll pop open a can of sardines. I have both the "Season" brand and "Wild Planet" smoked sardines, but I like the Season brand better (and just picked up more at Costco today).
Nevermind the magazine, I'm gonna stock up on sardines before the 8th when they suddenly sell out lol. I have yet to do the sardine challenge, but its next. About 5 weeks ago I first saw your channel and started towards fat adapting my body. I have knocked off 20lbs since then. Blood sugars average 75 fasted to low 90's at highest. I am looking to ramp it up. Previous to this I had lost 100 already with std dieting. Now Im tackling the last stubborn belly bits and want to undo decades of insulant resistance damage 😊
I just love listening to Dr. Boz. When you look up inspiration there should be a picture of her pretty face. Her explanations are always to the point and easy to understand, even the wonky ones!
As much as I love a success story, I'm afraid the price of sardines will go through the roof. I do a 3 day sardine fast every two weeks with much success. Thanks a lot, Dr. Boz 😠😠😠
Been watching dr boz and the sardines. Just ate my 1st can. Got them from Amazon - they have chilies 🌶️ in them. Tasted great. I am on this for IR and hoping to roll into carnivore
I like sardines, but prefer them on crackers. Anyway, I think you mentioned why the sardine challenge works: You have no desire to eat them if you're not pretty darn hungry. Pie, on the other hand, I can eat even if I'm stuffed to the gills.
I fasted 72 hours, then did 3 days sardines. and still found it hard to get into ketosis. Morning glucose was 127-144 and after 1 week could only get ketones up to .2. I think I gained water weight and only lost a pound. Still doing Keto and low carb, but It has taken me over 2 weeks to get into ketosis near .4 or .5. Im 62 with some residual fatty liver, Fatty Pancreatic Atrophy and Hematochromatosis. Other than that, No meds for anything . Im losing weight slowly even if the ketones do not record. I aim for 50-60% protien, low carb 30 total or 20 or less net carbs. and plus or minus fat. Calories range from 1000- 1800 a day. some rare days are under 1000. Im just going to stick with it, slower and steady an hope the metabolic healing kicks in.
Sardine everyday recipe. Boil 4 eggs with a 125 gram can of sardines in fresh water for 7 minutes. While eggs and can are boiling, cube 100 grams of butter in a bowl. After 7 minute boil, open can and add sardines with juice to butter cubes and mash to rough paste. Then add eggs, cutting into small pieces and mix with sardines. Add 2 teaspoons of psyllium husks to thicken and salt to taste. If still hungry add more butter.
I need Dr Boz to sell me a tee-shirt that shows a sardine with the words: “Do you want me?” 😂 Seriously. I’d buy it. I’d need a lil discount for the idea though. I tried sardines for the first time last weekend. I only had two cans… but my ketones were high for DAYS after eating only those two cans.
Started yesterday this is amazing first of all i love sardines. So its easy and i feel amazing so far. We are doing it inside Dr.Ken Berrys private group as a tribe. Thanks DrBoz
I love sardines. Eating sardines for me is NOT a challenge but a treat. I prefer to eat sardines with a side of eggs and red meat fried in butter 🧈, served with Hass 🥑 avocados. I also like to put extra virgin olive oil 🫒 on the sardines and eggs 🍳.
It's the 8th and I'm looking for the magazine. Haven't found the right one. I'll keep trying! I'm on day 2 of the challenge. I find Im not hungry. I ate one sardine yesterday and put the rest in the fridge. ❤
I started it yesterday. After 24 hours I lost 2.2 lb (1 kg). It wasn't water, I am over that period. (For the record: it was also the first day of my cold water plunge.) I mixed one mackerel in tomato sauce with one sardine and put lemon on it. I think I will do it more then 3 days. I like this food, I have no problem with it at all.
We made it! A 3 day sardine fast- yeah.. but as usual after a fast: Protein first Then we had wine Then ice cream a whole pint.. I’ve got to do better!!! Will try again with a sardine fast starting Saturday.. hoping for more self control😊
I thought I could do the nutritional equivalent with eggs instead of sardines, but I was missing the point. It's not just about the "nutrition" --- sardines separate the hunger from the comfort. Gonna give it another try!
QUESTION : salmon vs sardines for fasting? [ my mom does not like intense fishy smell of sardines]..YOUR THOUGHTS? doing some research i found this on salmon vs sardines for fasting: Here's a quick comparison of how eating salmon versus sardines periodically during a fast may impact autophagy and visceral fat loss: Protein content: A 3oz (85g) serving of salmon contains around 17-20g protein. A 3.75oz (106g) can of sardines has 22-25g. So sardines provide slightly more protein. Calorie content: Salmon contains around 130-150 calories per 3oz. Sardines have between 190-210 calories per 3.75oz can. So sardines are a bit higher in calories. Effect on autophagy: The protein in both is likely enough to partially suppress autophagy, but not completely stop it. Sardines may have a slightly greater effect due to more protein. Visceral fat loss: Higher protein intake can mildly spike insulin and slow visceral fat burning. Again, sardines may be slightly more inhibitory. Conclusion: Both salmon and sardines eaten periodically during a fast will reduce but likely not eliminate autophagy and visceral fat loss benefits. Sardines may have a slightly greater negative impact due to more calories and protein. For best results, limit salmon or sardine intake to 1-2 times per week maximum during fasting periods. Maximize duration of complete fasts between meals. So in summary, both can work for fasting, but sardines may slow benefits slightly more. Moderation of intake and meal spacing is key.
I went to the store the second I saw this and June 8 (even though it’s June 8th today) was gone and June 12th - was in it place! Help!! But KUDOS to you! So excited for you! You deserve the recognition! I’ll try to find a copy elsewhere. Just wanted you to know it’s time to swap out the mags for this new one! I’ll find it!! Thanks! ~Happy Hayes
Hi Annette, Super stuff. I wonder can you make it crystal clear - is it better (losing weight and health reasons) to eat the sardines or not to eat at all? So, is a sardine fast better than a water fast? Many thanks, Paul
According to Dr. Boz in another video - it was one of her live vids -, she didn’t notice a difference across brands so much. She did notice a difference between skin-on vs skinless. While the skin-on sardines were fine, the skinless gave her digestive issues. Just guessing but the process involving removing the skin must be a chemical process. If so, whatever residue remaining is probably causing the issues. So go with skin-on if possible.
I made it to 75 hours, I did find a brands I like but says sardine on front herring on ingredients. I get a major relief from inflammation. I’ll try again in a week as I found the herring on the last day.
Man oh man that’s awesome! I have tried sardines and just can’t do it. I tried in tuna salad bite 3 came right back up. Tried just gagging them down. No go. But I love seeing all the results others have.
I can eat sardines but to say I like them would be a stretch. I pour sardines from can to bowl, pour pickle juice to cover and use generous amount of Louisiana brand garlic lovers hot sauce, and mix. I don't normally like spicy food but this masks the fishy flavor. I jumped into sardine challenge too quickly last time and had serious pain in right shoulder. Apparently my gall bladder wasn't able to metabolize the fat. Just adding a can a day and will increase at a much slower pace.
I going to accomplish one week sardines challenge next Tuesday, what should I do next ? My goal is to eliminate bailey Fat and loose weight in general , but bailey fat is crucial for me , thanks in advance for your support
Dear dr Boz. In Poland, we have cod liver in cans in cod oil, so it is packed with omega 3, do you think such livers could be used along with sardines during sardine fast?
I just started today at 4pm, had second can just now at 8pm but couldn’t quite finish it. I hope I can finish the challenge. I desperately want to lessen my post-herpetic nerve pain I’ve been battling with for 2 years.
I've never bought sardines....I've noticed there are many choices....oil, mustard, water, etc . Does it matter which kind? Also, boneless, skinless?? I ended up not buying any until I find out which ones to purchase. Thanks!
I tried this and discovered that fresh bought sardines gave me terrible headaches.. which i believe was a histamine thing. Canned sardines are fine though…
I tried my first can of sardines partly because of your videos. If someone had told me I would actually CRAVE sardines before I would have said you are crazy, but guess what, I CRAVE sardines. Now I am trying to get my tuna loving wife to try it. No joy yet.
It’s is hard. I keep trying the carnivore. Last night went out and bought cookies muffins and chips. Ate them late like 10 and not hungry- then watched sardines w Dr boz. I have IR. Today didn’t eat not hungry got a little hungry and walked past the junk and had my 1st can of sardines and the chili 🌶️ was great. Now only eat when hungry for as long as I can hold out thx Dr
Dr Boz, which ketone and glucose testing monitor do you recommend? In one of your videos, I saw Fora. But I also see Keto Mojo in some videos. Please advise? Thank you.
Great Video! Better a slow and steady weight loss that will avoid a sagging skin that a fast and furious weight loss. A slight plumpness under your chin is more youthful than a turkey wattle blowing in the breeze. Thanks.
Just finished a 6 day sardine and mackerel fast, got 1 more to day go. I lost 3 lbs which is the first time I've been able to lose any weight at all for over 2 years. In all that time I've never been constipated, In fact I lean towards the opposite problem until now. Has sardine fasting caused constipation for anyone else?
Quite frankly I lost only two pounds. That being said, I was OMAD prior to this, so no water loss. On subsequent (3) 3-4 day fasts I lost about 3lbs each time. Huge weight loss if you're coming from a high-carb diet, but if already ^2 ketones for most of the day, really expect 2-3 lbs. I found the basic 3-4 day water fast easy, and painless w/ abundant energy and I'm barely 8 weeks post-op for a total hip replacement. Fasting rocks, sardines, not so much, but perhaps it helped as a preliminary to my 3, then 4-day fasts. Note: Since watching Dr Boz I"ve lost a consistent 2.6lbs/week and remember, I was on keto, so no water loss.
Great Idea, Great Great Great Idea, (for the rest of the world) I can't stand sardines. But I do love fish, and I wonder if I can improve my weight loss by making meals from cod, flounder, salmon, shrimp, catfish, trout and grouper?
While there are lots of doctors on RUclips touting weight loss and the ketogenic diet, none seem to address what I've seen in people who've lost more than 40 pounds: sagging necks, bellies and buttocks. While I understand the need to be healthy, if one doesn't have $40k for a body lift, how does one lose large amounts of weight and not end up with sagging skin? I'm asking you because I find your channel interesting and practical. If you've already covered this in a previous video, can you provide the link? Thanks!
Unfortunately, loose skin is a reality especially if you've lost large amounts of fat post menopause (our hormones keep our skin healthy). Building muscle through resistance training helps somewhat. Remember it's VITAL to maintain muscle mass and strength. Consider MHT... hormone replacement therapy, in fact request it!
I ordered sardines, but I'm doubtful that I'll like them enough to add them to my diet. Maybe these King Oscar jalapeno ones will be tolerable. I remember eating them in the 80s on crackers, but I don't do crackers anymore. If they are too fishy or otherwise gross, I will probably give up and just be content with a sip of cod liver oil
I am loving my Sardine Fast, just hit 48 hrs and going strong. My fav Brisling in Xtra Olive oil wild caught. With my own yellow mustard and hot sauce I might do this monthly 💪
I know that sardines are lower in mercury but what I didn’t realize is that they are high in arsenic and micro plastics. It’s always something these days it seems.

I just completed the 72 hour sardine challenge for the fourth time in several months. I was looking forward to eating the cheeseburger casserole in my freezer that I made last week.
Yesterday I ate only one can early in the day and didn’t give food another thought. (Highly unusual!) So, I ate the last can this morning and feel great. Blood sugar is low and ketones are high. Just what I need for serious autoimmune issues to heal. I feel so good, I may just wait until another day for the casserole.
Congrats to Patty! So wonderful! Congrats and many thanks to you Dr Boz! You are a blessing to so many people❤
for serious auto immune issues, take iodine as per dr eric berg, works great
Q
A BIG CONGRATS to Patty! And thanks to you Dr. Boz for helping us all.
I have lost 14 pounds since April 24 following you and I am on the sardine challenge right now. Thank you -my name is Sandy. ❤
Let me know how you make out
@@catistrolling7333 hi! I'm down 20 pounds now. The sardine challenge is not easy, but I've grown to love them. They are my go to, especially if I'm hungry at a time I shouldn't be. I try hard not to snack and I've even gone OMAD because I just don't get that hungry! I feel great.
@@EnvironmentalCoffeehouse thx I’m going to try to commit to it in aug
On third day of sardine fast I had planned to water fast but 36 hours after my last sardine I felt awful, so I ate a can of sardines. When I woke up this morning (day 4) my blood sugar was 80 and my ketones were 3.2! That is a DBR of 25! This has motivated me to continue with a water fast starting today.
Update: the following morning (day 5) my blood glucose was 77 and ketones were 4.2 - that is a Dr Boz ratio of 17! Autophagy!
What's a good number for dr boz ratio
@@90secondsuntilmidnight DBR UNDER 80 FOR WEIGHT LOSS; under 40 repair of immune system; under 20 (goal for cancer patients)
I have tried fasting, with nothing but water.
I had nothing but water for 7 days.
I lost nothing ! ! !
And ... I have heard that fasting actually raises blood sugar.
It is better to eat low calorie rather than eat nothing ... supposedly, you need to give your body something to burn, otherwise, the body thinks that it is starving and holds onto everything.
And ... if you do lose weight from fasting ... as soon as you eat normally, the scale goes up again ... because you are really not losing weight, you are only losing water.
@@victoryluck sounds like you need to see a doctor immediately if you're not even losing water weight.
@@victoryluck everyone’s body reacts differently- that is why I recommend keeping a journal of what and when you are eating in addition to recording blood sugars. For those of us with excess fat, our bodies have plenty to burn for energy. Some people drink real bone broth or coffee with butter (keeping calories under 400 for the day) to help remain in autophagy
wild-caught salmon and sardines are not only the healthiest foods on the planet, but both are enormously satisfying to eat. just one small can of the stuff can keep one satisfied pretty much for the entire day
I haven't done the "sardine challenge" per say, but I have been using them to offset my protein intake instead of other fatty meats, or really pricey salmon. I can say you hit the nail on the head when you said, "You don't want the sardines when you aren't hungry" Sure, I've lost a few pounds, but now all my joint pain and inflammation are totally gone after I gave up all carbs and sugars. Even my plantar fasciitis is totally gone after suffering crippling pain for years. Hard to exercise when you can't even walk to the mailbox. I used to feel weighted down, like I literally had another person standing on my shoulders.
That’s awesome! It just goes to show (like plantar fasciitis) hire much we can do to help ourselves! That’s inspiring!
I too also use sardines as part of my daily protein intake;
I wish my bunions would disappear! I had PF too n was able to get corrective pricey sneakers & Birkenstocks n do stretches etc.
there’s ZERO to be done for bunions, I’ve tried anything I could! It’s agonizing besides never wearing any but very ugly shoes.
Awesome! Keep up t😎he great work! 🔥🔥🔥
Dr Boz. I lost around 40 pounds 3 years ago and have had some loose skin since. It’s bothered me, but I’ve always said it’s better than the alternative… 😅
I did two weeks ago your three day sardine challenge. (24 hours fast before and
after)
Not only did I feel awesome those days but my loose skin reduced significantly! I still have some loose skin but it’s definitely a tremendous improvement!
I wanted to share this with you and also wanted to say THANKYOU!
😂😂😂😂 Really now! How can you pretend you lost skin by eating sardines 😅. Unbelievable what people can fabricate
It was reduced enough for her to notice it. Perhaps the protein in sardines could have such effect.
@@ich6636 to say the skin was lost because of the eating of sardines sound ridiculous. What you have to say is that deep ketosis causes autophagy within the body. Ergo lost skin.
@@ich6636she probably didn’t lose skin but some of her skin probably appeared better because of the high protein content in her diet
great info, thanx!!
Your excitement is contagious!
I just finished a sardine challenge today at 1PM. It wasn't nearly as hard as I made it out to be. The mind had me thinking they would be slimy and crunchy....but actually more like tuna.
Good to know. I've had several cans for a few weeks, but haven't been able to pull the trigger.🤣
How do you feel? Are you happy with your results? Keeping it up?
I’m so glad you shared this! I have them, but am afraid to try them. Are they really like tuna?
I think they are better than tuna. Not nearly so dry, and not as fishy tasting.
@@keepdancingmaria thanks. I’m 36 hours in, and sardines aren’t awful. I think I agree about tuna.
My only problem(?) is that I can only eat 3, _maybe_ 4 cans a day. 600-800 calories leaves me a little flat.
That's awesome. Bless her heart! I lost over 60 lbs in 4 months and felt so many bad health problems disappear. I know how she feels to get her life back. Like I said, God bless her!
Is the from doing the sardine challenge ?
I would like to know too
Many horrible ailments also left me quickly after I started eating a carnivore diet.❤
I tried the sardine thing only lasted 36 hours, but now eat them every day.
I'm 63 and not overweight, but I've had a little more body fat than what I would like. I've never been into dieting and have been at about the same weight all of my adult life. This is day 2 of the sardine challenge and when I got on the scales this morning I'm down 2.5 lbs and my body fat percentage is also going down. I've never seen these kinds of results this fast with anything I've ever done before. I'm thinking about continuing the sardine challenge for a week.
its just water loss, pal, sardines can give you gout . really its not what you want in excess.
If you really wanna see the pounds drop away, cut out the seed oil, canola, soy,corn- instead use Extra-virgin olive oil, and coconut oil and grass fed butter.
Hi Dr Boz! I have been on the ketogenic diet since 2017. I have lost 223 pounds. I am going to add 72 hour sardine fasts to my weekly regimen to get that last 15 pounds off. The sardine fast was amazing! BUT, can you tell us, or do a video on how to break a fast the proper way so that you do not regain the weight after the fast? After completing the 72 hour fast, I am regaining about half of the weight that I lost during the fast!
My advice ... Keep eating the sardines ... Just have other meats also ... when your sardine fast is over, dont eliminate sardines.
I've done that 3-4 day, sardines (1 can in olive oil) and scrambled eggs (2) in OMAD diet about 3-4 times already . I do it when i hit a wall and cannot cross over. I can confirm... I lose about 0.4 to 0.6kgs from the 2nd day of starting sardine fast. Then resume 0.2 kgs/day on normal Keto OMAD. I am astonished how simple it is now, to break the wall.
I am hitting that wall- so to rephrase, you’re doing OMAD, and that meal is eggs and sardines? And you are doing it 3-4 days?
@@Michelle-oz1jc correct. I have meal between 10-11 am. Early mornings I have 1-2 cups black coffee. In addition, I have a tablespoon of Apple cider vinegar, diluted in water, just after my meal. Also, I have a history of gout flareups. Draft (beer) and sea food (specifically sardines) are top two that trigger it. So during my first sardine fast, i kept one hand on Gout medication. Amazingly, if seems, OMAD help me escape Gout attack. I wish someone could confirm if this is the case. Good luck to you.
@@TakaluKevin it’s usually the elimination of carbs and sugar that stops the gout.
@@dontfit6380 Hmm.. I am not sure we are talking of same thing. I meant Gout caused by excess purines.
@@TakaluKevin yes exactly what I’m talking about. I’ve been doing keto/carnivore for 8 years. In that time I’ve read many comments and talked with many people that had gout. All of them have said they never have a problem since going keto or carnivore.
OMG! I am 52 years years old and until this week have never eaten a sardine before in my life. I LOVE THEM!! Why was I so scared to eat these before? They are so delicious! They taste milder and even better than tuna and I’ve loved tuna since I was a kid. I am so ready to do my first 3-day sardine fast. Once you get past the initial appearance of the tiny fish inside of the can, the taste will actually surprise you. I can eat them right out of the can on the go but look forward to try and fry them up with some butter at home for more variety. Thank you so much, Dr. Boz!! ❤️
that's really encouraging! thank you!
I also never ate sardines, until I heard about them on RUclips ... I think it is because there are no commercials for sardines, and you never hear about anyone eating sardines for lunch at the deli, and you never see a special at the restaurant for sardines ... you only hear about tuna.
I used to eat tuna ... but I always hated the strong smell .... and I couldn't enjoy tuna without mayo.
I couldn't enjoy tuna just in a plate, it had to be in some kind of sandwich.
I dont notice any smell with sardines ... and I dont feel the need for the mayo or bread ... and they taste much better than the tuna.
I just melt a little butter in a frying pan, stir the sardines in the pan until they are hot for less than 2 minutes, and they are done with a little salt ... no other cooked meal is so quick.
I just tried them for the first time as well cause for whatever reason they always sounded scary 😂 but they’re AMAZING. Why do people find them so bad I wonder.
I eat Season sardines all the time. My reason is simple.
The smaller the fish, the less mercury in them.
I did my first day of 3 cans. Woke up lost 3 pounds! Today I ate 3 cans but this time I added nori seaweed sheets for some variety and crunch. So much better that way and the calories/ carbs in seaweed are almost 0....I can't wait to weigh myself tomorrow!!
That’s great! How did u do? Did the weight u lost stay off ?
I've started watching more
of your contents and are
getting to add more sardines
to my diet it's affordable
and beneficial for me
so thank you
I saw your 72 hour challenge a few months ago and I was intrigued. I am keto and love sardines, so... what the heck, why not. Going to say, this was easy. I was rarely hungry. I ate a max of 5 cans a day (this coming from a bottomless pit). My mood and mental health dramatically improved. My ketone sky rocketed, but the big one, I broke a month long stall and lost an additional 9 lbs. I have now been doing this fast once a month since and have seen similar results each time. Blood work is in 2 months, and I am exited to see what happens. Thank you :)
if you take zinc every day, your bottomless pit (leptin levels) will rise a lot so you will be full (satiated) on much less food.
Big Pharma just bought all the fishing boats so they can catch all the sardines and hide them 😂😂😂😂😂
Hilarious!! 🙂
Would not surprise me 🤣😂
Don’t give them any more ideas! 😢
@@piakozaris1432 😂😂😂
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂❤
I did it Thank you and I eat every 24 hours 3 cans with oil and water and one coffee with salt it works. I lost 3 pounds and with out hangers I promise for my self to do every other week and I am a breast cancer survivor for 3 years when I went for my six months infusions rotten so my blood work cames wonderful this time my recovery time only one day not a week.
Thank you so much
Congratulations Patty a big thank you Dr Annette Boz for bringing the sardines challenge. From Johannesburg South Africa 🇿🇦
I’m Also from SA
How did ur challenge go?
Which sardines did u use ?
Dr. Boz, thank you for pushing this education! Everything I was taught about low fat, eat less move more, and the habit of disease treatment not prevention, was wrong. I will be 50 this year and taking charge of my health! 🤬. I'd forgotten how much I used to love sardines, eating them as a kid with my Dad, as did my children. Each can reminds me of him ❤❤❤❤❤❤. You are missed, Daddy! 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
Wow! Well done Patty and Dr. Boz and Sardines!
Congratulations, Dr. Boz! I've watched many of your videos, including several 72-hour sardine challenge videos. I haven't attempted the challenge yet, but have incorporated them into my ketovore (90-95% carnivore) diet. If I feel that I need a little more food after my dinner, I'll pop open a can of sardines. I have both the "Season" brand and "Wild Planet" smoked sardines, but I like the Season brand better (and just picked up more at Costco today).
Season is my favorite!
@@LisaNix2 I had a can last night! 👍
Nevermind the magazine, I'm gonna stock up on sardines before the 8th when they suddenly sell out lol. I have yet to do the sardine challenge, but its next. About 5 weeks ago I first saw your channel and started towards fat adapting my body. I have knocked off 20lbs since then. Blood sugars average 75 fasted to low 90's at highest. I am looking to ramp it up. Previous to this I had lost 100 already with std dieting. Now Im tackling the last stubborn belly bits and want to undo decades of insulant resistance damage 😊
Right, I just went and bought about 100 cans.. before the mad rush starts.
Bwah haha
Good thinking!
I can’t afford to as my income is weekly and spent to the last penny but if u can-stock up!

I just love listening to Dr. Boz. When you look up inspiration there should be a picture of her pretty face. Her explanations are always to the point and easy to understand, even the wonky ones!
This is so awesome!! Congrats!! Definitely getting this magazine today!! ❤
As much as I love a success story, I'm afraid the price of sardines will go through the roof. I do a 3 day sardine fast every two weeks with much success. Thanks a lot, Dr. Boz 😠😠😠
There isn't millions of people eating sardines. Still the cheapest fish available 😅
Been watching dr boz and the sardines. Just ate my 1st can. Got them from Amazon - they have chilies 🌶️ in them. Tasted great. I am on this for IR and hoping to roll into carnivore
Congratulations Patty! Thank you for your help Dr. Boz.
Whoop….Whoop 🎉🎉🎉
So proud of you Dr Boz
Can’t wait to buy the magazine
Actually like Wild Planet smoked sardines in oil!
Smoked products are carcinogenic.
I like sardines, but prefer them on crackers. Anyway, I think you mentioned why the sardine challenge works: You have no desire to eat them if you're not pretty darn hungry. Pie, on the other hand, I can eat even if I'm stuffed to the gills.
I fasted 72 hours, then did 3 days sardines. and still found it hard to get into ketosis. Morning glucose was 127-144 and after 1 week could only get ketones up to .2. I think I gained water weight and only lost a pound. Still doing Keto and low carb, but It has taken me over 2 weeks to get into ketosis near .4 or .5. Im 62 with some residual fatty liver, Fatty Pancreatic Atrophy and Hematochromatosis. Other than that, No meds for anything . Im losing weight slowly even if the ketones do not record. I aim for 50-60% protien, low carb 30 total or 20 or less net carbs. and plus or minus fat. Calories range from 1000- 1800 a day. some rare days are under 1000. Im just going to stick with it, slower and steady an hope the metabolic healing kicks in.

I just tried herring and mackerel. Loved them both! Thanks, love all the information and teaching.🎉
Sardine everyday recipe. Boil 4 eggs with a 125 gram can of sardines in fresh water for 7 minutes. While eggs and can are boiling, cube 100 grams of butter in a bowl. After 7 minute boil, open can and add sardines with juice to butter cubes and mash to rough paste. Then add eggs, cutting into small pieces and mix with sardines. Add 2 teaspoons of psyllium husks to thicken and salt to taste. If still hungry add more butter.
Das klingt großartig ❤.
I need Dr Boz to sell me a tee-shirt that shows a sardine with the words: “Do you want me?”
😂
Seriously. I’d buy it. I’d need a lil discount for the idea though.
I tried sardines for the first time last weekend. I only had two cans… but my ketones were high for DAYS after eating only those two cans.
Started yesterday this is amazing first of all i love sardines. So its easy and i feel amazing so far. We are doing it inside Dr.Ken Berrys private group as a tribe. Thanks DrBoz
@Margaret...low carb cruise is this week. I believe Dr. Boz is a guest speaker.
I love sardines. Eating sardines for me is NOT a challenge but a treat. I prefer to eat sardines with a side of eggs and red meat fried in butter 🧈, served with Hass 🥑 avocados. I also like to put extra virgin olive oil 🫒 on the sardines and eggs 🍳.
So awesome Dr.Bos 🎉. You support so many people ❤❤
It's the 8th and I'm looking for the magazine. Haven't found the right one. I'll keep trying! I'm on day 2 of the challenge. I find Im not hungry. I ate one sardine yesterday and put the rest in the fridge. ❤
I started it yesterday. After 24 hours I lost 2.2 lb (1 kg). It wasn't water, I am over that period. (For the record: it was also the first day of my cold water plunge.) I mixed one mackerel in tomato sauce with one sardine and put lemon on it. I think I will do it more then 3 days. I like this food, I have no problem with it at all.
I’ll be looking for the magazine thank you🎉
We made it! A 3 day sardine fast- yeah..
but as usual after a fast:
Protein first
Then we had wine
Then ice cream a whole pint..
I’ve got to do better!!!
Will try again with a sardine fast starting Saturday.. hoping for more self control😊
LOL i know this kind of experience somehow, years ago, you are not alone, keep going, self control is a learning process 🖕
We did the same!!!!!! Ugh- we must do better!!! Trying again….
Make Dr. Kiltz ice cream. No sugar. It's delicious. One of my favorite foods is ice cream..
@@MatthiasKlees😂why flip her the finger bro, Im dead😂💀
I think it was supposed to be a thumbs up 😂@@zephyrr108
You both are an inspiration. I will definitely be trying the sardine challenge. 🙂
I thought I could do the nutritional equivalent with eggs instead of sardines, but I was missing the point. It's not just about the "nutrition" --- sardines separate the hunger from the comfort.
Gonna give it another try!
Did the eggs help aid weight loss ? I can't eat seafood.
There is actually an all egg diet to break a plateau in weight loss. I saw it on you tube.
@@Thishumanis1111 ohh what shall I search for ?
QUESTION : salmon vs sardines for fasting? [ my mom does not like intense fishy smell of sardines]..YOUR THOUGHTS?
doing some research i found this on salmon vs sardines for fasting:
Here's a quick comparison of how eating salmon versus sardines periodically during a fast may impact autophagy and visceral fat loss:
Protein content: A 3oz (85g) serving of salmon contains around 17-20g protein. A 3.75oz (106g) can of sardines has 22-25g. So sardines provide slightly more protein.
Calorie content: Salmon contains around 130-150 calories per 3oz. Sardines have between 190-210 calories per 3.75oz can. So sardines are a bit higher in calories.
Effect on autophagy: The protein in both is likely enough to partially suppress autophagy, but not completely stop it. Sardines may have a slightly greater effect due to more protein.
Visceral fat loss: Higher protein intake can mildly spike insulin and slow visceral fat burning. Again, sardines may be slightly more inhibitory.
Conclusion: Both salmon and sardines eaten periodically during a fast will reduce but likely not eliminate autophagy and visceral fat loss benefits. Sardines may have a slightly greater negative impact due to more calories and protein.
For best results, limit salmon or sardine intake to 1-2 times per week maximum during fasting periods. Maximize duration of complete fasts between meals.
So in summary, both can work for fasting, but sardines may slow benefits slightly more. Moderation of intake and meal spacing is key.
Yes, take back your health! THANK YOU DR BOZ!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Anyone who loves sardines should give this a try! What do you have to lose, a few lbs?!?!?
Signed
Dr Boz fan with a fish allergy :(😢
I went to the store the second I saw this and June 8 (even though it’s June 8th today) was gone and June 12th - was in it place! Help!! But KUDOS to you! So excited for you! You deserve the recognition! I’ll try to find a copy elsewhere. Just wanted you to know it’s time to swap out the mags for this new one! I’ll find it!! Thanks! ~Happy Hayes
I've lost 9 lbs in the first 4 days. It normally takes me 2.5 weeks to start losing on a diet. I'm going to try for 30 days.
That’s amazing! Did you look visibly slimmer after the 4 days?
Hi Annette,
Super stuff.
I wonder can you make it crystal clear - is it better (losing weight and health reasons) to eat the sardines or not to eat at all?
So, is a sardine fast better than a water fast?
Many thanks,
Paul
Try the Mackerel too, taste great !!! Thanks Doc !!
I haven’t found the right brand but I will be doing this.
Safe catch is nice.
According to Dr. Boz in another video - it was one of her live vids -, she didn’t notice a difference across brands so much. She did notice a difference between skin-on vs skinless. While the skin-on sardines were fine, the skinless gave her digestive issues. Just guessing but the process involving removing the skin must be a chemical process. If so, whatever residue remaining is probably causing the issues. So go with skin-on if possible.
sardines are sardines , you’ll only pay extra for a name brand because of the name not the quality
I made it to 75 hours, I did find a brands I like but says sardine on front herring on ingredients.
I get a major relief from inflammation.
I’ll try again in a week as I found the herring on the last day.
Man oh man that’s awesome! I have tried sardines and just can’t do it. I tried in tuna salad bite 3 came right back up. Tried just gagging them down. No go. But I love seeing all the results others have.
Try canned salmon then- that’s what I do
The $4 King Oscars are completely different from the cheap rotgut brands.
Sardines are what you eat when you are Portuguese or don't have real food. They are good for cat food .
I can eat sardines but to say I like them would be a stretch. I pour sardines from can to bowl, pour pickle juice to cover and use generous amount of Louisiana brand garlic lovers hot sauce, and mix. I don't normally like spicy food but this masks the fishy flavor. I jumped into sardine challenge too quickly last time and had serious pain in right shoulder. Apparently my gall bladder wasn't able to metabolize the fat. Just adding a can a day and will increase at a much slower pace.
I going to accomplish one week sardines challenge next Tuesday, what should I do next ? My goal is to eliminate bailey Fat and loose weight in general , but bailey fat is crucial for me , thanks in advance for your support
Love all the inspiration you provide Dr. Boz. What can one eat that doesn't do fish???
I started today. The Costco sardines aren’t crunchy! Yay! I’m enjoying it.
Dear dr Boz. In Poland, we have cod liver in cans in cod oil, so it is packed with omega 3, do you think such livers could be used along with sardines during sardine fast?
I just started this challenge today. I'm 3 cans in. Holding strong so far.
I started eating sardines yesterday! Just now ate 2 cans! I'm gonna start my sardine fast tonight sense I go back to work. Good luck! ❤
I just started today at 4pm, had second can just now at 8pm but couldn’t quite finish it. I hope I can finish the challenge. I desperately want to lessen my post-herpetic nerve pain I’ve been battling with for 2 years.
I've never bought sardines....I've noticed there are many choices....oil, mustard, water, etc . Does it matter which kind?
Also, boneless, skinless?? I ended up not buying any until I find out which ones to purchase. Thanks!
I tried this and discovered that fresh bought sardines gave me terrible headaches.. which i believe was a histamine thing. Canned sardines are fine though…
I also started 2 days ago. Some redness in my face has gone down. I’m learning that I don’t have to meal prep.. I slept better..
I lost 38 pounds a month on the egg fast pretty much ate a dozen eggs and a stick of butter, sometimes I'd put them on top of organic spring mix.
Wow 😮
I tried my first can of sardines partly because of your videos. If someone had told me I would actually CRAVE sardines before I would have said you are crazy, but guess what, I CRAVE sardines. Now I am trying to get my tuna loving wife to try it. No joy yet.
Dr. Boz, Does the sardine diet also cleanse and flush the liver? Particularly if eaten with olive oil and lemon juice.
First week in diabetic female lost 6lbs. Before even cutting sweetened drinks.
Indonesia has many sardines. Fresh sardines and we cook it. It's our food especially in Sumatera. I'll try it.
Good work Dr Bos
It’s is hard. I keep trying the carnivore. Last night went out and bought cookies muffins and chips. Ate them late like 10 and not hungry- then watched sardines w Dr boz. I have IR. Today didn’t eat not hungry got a little hungry and walked past the junk and had my 1st can of sardines and the chili 🌶️ was great. Now only eat when hungry for as long as I can hold out thx Dr
You more likely not getting enough fat. When I crave sweets,I just have butter - frozen, soft, brown…. it works like magic.
Dr Boz, which ketone and glucose testing monitor do you recommend? In one of your videos, I saw Fora. But I also see Keto Mojo in some videos. Please advise? Thank you.
What about if you have had your gallbladder removed? Can you do a sardine challenge?
Congratulations on the article 🎉
Sardines are easy to take to work and on the run. It’s awesome to think how much I will save on groceries. But later I will maintain my purée diet..
Great Video! Better a slow and steady weight loss that will avoid a sagging skin that a fast and furious weight loss. A slight plumpness under your chin is more youthful than a turkey wattle blowing in the breeze. Thanks.
Dr. Boz - can the same approach to keto with sardines be accomplished similarly with salmon? or other high fat fish?
Just finished a 6 day sardine and mackerel fast, got 1 more to day go. I lost 3 lbs which is the first time I've been able to lose any weight at all for over 2 years. In all that time I've never been constipated, In fact I lean towards the opposite problem until now. Has sardine fasting caused constipation for anyone else?
I will never be doing this challenge but I’m proud of y’all 😅❤😊
😂
Quite frankly I lost only two pounds. That being said, I was OMAD prior to this, so no water loss. On subsequent (3) 3-4 day fasts I lost about 3lbs each time. Huge weight loss if you're coming from a high-carb diet, but if already ^2 ketones for most of the day, really expect 2-3 lbs. I found the basic 3-4 day water fast easy, and painless w/ abundant energy and I'm barely 8 weeks post-op for a total hip replacement. Fasting rocks, sardines, not so much, but perhaps it helped as a preliminary to my 3, then 4-day fasts. Note: Since watching Dr Boz I"ve lost a consistent 2.6lbs/week and remember, I was on keto, so no water loss.
Great Idea, Great Great Great Idea, (for the rest of the world) I can't stand sardines. But I do love fish, and I wonder if I can improve my weight loss by making meals from cod, flounder, salmon, shrimp, catfish, trout and grouper?
As long as your keto or carnivore along with those fish.
Don't forget black drum too.
Glad I bought my sardines ahead of time.
While there are lots of doctors on RUclips touting weight loss and the ketogenic diet, none seem to address what I've seen in people who've lost more than 40 pounds: sagging necks, bellies and buttocks. While I understand the need to be healthy, if one doesn't have $40k for a body lift, how does one lose large amounts of weight and not end up with sagging skin? I'm asking you because I find your channel interesting and practical. If you've already covered this in a previous video, can you provide the link? Thanks!
Autophagy
Unfortunately, loose skin is a reality especially if you've lost large amounts of fat post menopause (our hormones keep our skin healthy). Building muscle through resistance training helps somewhat. Remember it's VITAL to maintain muscle mass and strength. Consider MHT... hormone replacement therapy, in fact request it!
Congrats!!!! I want to make the 3 days fasting and then go to the 7 days one
I ordered sardines, but I'm doubtful that I'll like them enough to add them to my diet. Maybe these King Oscar jalapeno ones will be tolerable. I remember eating them in the 80s on crackers, but I don't do crackers anymore. If they are too fishy or otherwise gross, I will probably give up and just be content with a sip of cod liver oil
I am loving my Sardine Fast, just hit 48 hrs and going strong. My fav Brisling in Xtra Olive oil wild caught. With my own yellow mustard and hot sauce
I might do this monthly 💪
I know that sardines are lower in mercury but what I didn’t realize is that they are high in arsenic and micro plastics. It’s always something these days it seems.
She looks stunning! ❤️
Which sardines exactly do you recommend? There's tons of different kinds.
