Fat Fasting

If keto is already a low-carb, high-fat diet, why would you
need to “fat fast”? Well, fat fasting
help to accelerate changing your body to be a fat burner. It also helps to increase appetite
suppression, and deepen your ketosis.
And because it helps you become a fat burner, it also will help prepare
you for actual fasting. So it can be
used to prepare for an actual fast. Or
if you have strayed of course a little too much recently in your diet, it will
help to get you back on track. Of course
it will be far easier to fat fast if you are already keto-adapted.
So what is a fat fast? A fat fast consists of eating lots of
fatty foods and trying to steer clear of nuts and dairy. So basically eating
the following types of foods:
- Eggs
- Bacon
- Salmon
- Sardines
- Healthy oils (olive, coconut, MCT, avocado, macadamia nut)
- Butter
- Ghee
- Avocado
- Olives
- Bone Broth
- Coffee/Tea

How long should you fat fast? It’s up to you, but I find 1-3 days is
usually enough. I will sometimes do a
fat fast for the day prior to an extended fast.
