It can make it a lot easier to introduce an intermittent fasting regime or healthier diet as it resets your hunger and taste buds. This gives our mind the understanding that just because our stomach is empty, it does not mean our bodies need more food. I find that my appetite is never as strong as before the fast, the fast can reset our idea of hunger. This ensures you don’t upset the system and can get back to your normal routine. Although it can be tempting to get stuck into an indulging feed, you won’t regret giving your body time to readjust. Usually waiting 2-3 hours after your fruit or smoothie is enough time before reintroducing solid food. This is giving your system a chance to get used to food again before beginning on solid foods. The best food to break a fast is light fruit such as watermelon or a smoothie is the best way to start. After multiple days without any food your digestive system needs something simple and easy to process. What happens after a water fast - the ‘refeed’ - is one of the most important parts of the fast as this is how your body will regenerate your system. Maximising the Fasting Benefits Stage 8 - After the Water Fast - The 'Refeed' Stage 7 - 72 Hours Fastingīy 72 hours water fasting your body is breaking down old immune cells and generating new ones ( Cheng et al., 2014 ). This is where those with type 2 diabetes (insulin insensitivity) begin to see the body naturally re-sensitise to insulin. Stage 6 - 54 Hours Fastingīy 54 hours your insulin has dropped to its lowest level point since you started fasting and your body is becoming increasingly insulin-sensitive ( Klein et al., 1993 ). Stage 5 - 48 Hours Fastingīy 48 hours fasting without any/ very few calories, carbs or protein, your growth hormone level has increased up to five times higher than when you started your fast ( Hartman et al.,1992). This is the process called autophagy which we need to begin immune system regeneration. Within 24 hours your cells are increasingly recycling old components and breaking down misfolded proteins linked to alzheimers and other diseases ( Alirezaei et al., Autophagy 2010). Stage 3 - 18 Hours Fastingīy 18 hours you’ve switched to fat-burning mode and are generating significant ketones ( Anton et al., Obesity 2018). This is when your body starts to break down stored energy and starts to burn fat. The Water Fast Itself Stage 2 - 12 Hours Fastingīy 12 hours fasting you’ve entered the metabolic state called ketosis ( Anton et al., Obesity 2018). The Brothers Green Hemp Seed Oil is perfect because it's cold-pressed, unprocessed, Omega-3 rich healthy oil.
In the 2-3 days leading up to your fast, increase your usual 1 TBSP daily serving to 3 TBSP a day. Hemp Seed Oil is high in polyunsaturated fats, low in carbs, perfect to enter a ketogenic state.
By eating light, wholefood meals (fruits and vegetables) and not consuming any processed foods you will allow your body to better capitalise on the benefits of the fast and make the most of the experience for autophagy and cell renewal. Beginning to implement a 16 hour fast for the day or two before will give your body time to adjust and then cut down the intake of energy intensive food to process. The 48 - 36 hours before the fast are important to prepare the body and mind. What you eat before the fast can set up the next few days for a greater chance of success.
