• How to do a water fast

  • Sources:

    To perform a water fast, Gary Brecka provides detailed guidance, primarily focusing on a three-day water fast. Here's a summary of his approach:

    1. Preparation (Day 1): Begin by taking electrolytes and hydrating with spring water, such as Mountain Valley Spring Water. During this day, eat two bowls of bone broth, one at noon and another at six 1.

    2. Full Fast (Days 2 and 3): Abstain from all food and switch to a full water fast. You can have black coffee if desired, as it won't break the fast. Avoid coffee after 2 p.m. to prevent any sleep disruption 2.

    3. Breaking the Fast (Day 4): Ease out of the fast by consuming bone broth in the morning before gradually returning to solid foods 1.

    During the fast, it's important to monitor your body's responses and consult with a healthcare provider before starting, particularly if you have underlying health conditions. Brecka mentions the significant benefits of fasting, such as increased insulin sensitivity and the rise of human growth hormone, which aids in tissue repair and reduces inflammation 3 4.
