Let me tell you a few things about how to do a 3-day water fast.
Welcome, traveler of health and change! Here begins a fascinating journey into the world of 3-day water fasting. This article will reveal my personal experience in this area and how this practice can transform the body and mind in surprising ways.
Preparing for the fast
The 3-day fast brings numerous benefits, and the key to a successful experience lies in careful preparation. In the week before the fast begins, adopt a light and balanced diet. Opt for foods low in carbohydrates, lean proteins and healthy sources of fat to gradually prepare your body for the fast.
Avoid processed foods and added sugars to enter the fasting period in a balanced physical and mental state.
Hydration and electrolyte balance
During the three-day water fast, pay special attention to hydration and electrolyte balance. Regular water consumption is key to maintaining adequate hydration and eliminating toxins. Add a teaspoon of Celtic salt to your water in the morning to provide your body with essential minerals and maintain electrolyte balance.
Transforming your relationship with food
The fascination of fasting with water for 3 days is the progressive transformation of your relationship with food. In the early stages, you may feel slight discomfort or cravings, but as your body adjusts, appetite levels gradually decrease.
This is due to the body adapting to using fat as its main source of energy and hormonal regulation that will give you the appropriate hunger signals.
Detailed 3-day fasting plan
Thursday evening: Start of the day
Fasting begins on Thursday evening, after the last meal. In the first 8 hours, the body begins to deplete its glycogen stores, entering a state of fasting. Insulin levels drop and the body starts burning fat for energy.
Friday: Discovering Stage One
At the 16-hour mark, the body enters ketosis, producing and using ketones as its main source of energy. Benefits include greater mental clarity and reduced inflammation.
Saturday: Deep cleanse with bitter salt
This day is dedicated to deep detoxification.
Buy 60 grams of bitter salt from a pharmacy..
Preparing the solution:
Dissolve the 60 grams of bitter salt in 750 milliliters of water. Make sure the salt is completely dissolved in the water.
Dividing the solution:
Divide the resulting solution into three equal portions, each about 250 milliliters. This is the amount that will be consumed gradually during the procedure.
Gradual consumption:
Gradually consume each 250 milliliter portion in equal portions over the time interval.
Sunday: Finish in style
As you approach the end of the 72 hours, feel the transformation. The body benefits from the metabolic reboot and detoxification. End the fast with a healthy meal, a soup and, after 50 minutes, you can eat a poached egg with some tuna and a pickled cucumber, ensuring a gradual return to your regular diet.
Continue eating lighter and healthier over the next few days and, why not, keep up this healthy lifestyle for as long as possible.
The end of the fast
The 3-day fast, approached with care, can be a transformative experience with lasting benefits for physical and mental health. The gradual return to a regular diet plays a crucial role in maintaining these benefits. So this journey doesn’t just end with the 3-day fast, but also with an awareness of the long-term impact on overall well-being.
