In This Episode:

In this podcast, I go over what you should eat before you begin a short intermittent fast or a longer 2-3 or even a 5 day fast. The foods you eat impact your blood sugar and satiety level and will either make it harder to fast or much easier.

  • 03:56 What should I eat before I fast? 
  • 04:55 Protein! Stabilizing your blood sugar
  • 06:50 Understanding ‘healthy fat‘: how much and what to eat.
  • 12:59 What do polyphenols do for our body?
  • 14:09 Eating fiber along with your polyphenols 
  • 14:55 Which fermented food is good pre fast? 
  • 16:17 What is Vitamin U good for? 
  • 18:15 Ketones as a by-product of fats

What should you eat before you fast? The foods you eat impact your satiety and blood sugar levels, making it either much easier to fast (or harder) – depending on what you eat beforehand. 

Whether you are doing a short intermittent fast, or even something longer (anywhere from 2 to 5 days), there are some key principles that Dr. Jocker advises on to make your fasting experience as positive as possible.

Learn about how much protein you should eat, what fiber is good for you, as well as important information on polyphenols, healthy fats, and fermented foods. Is kombucha a good idea? Tune in to find out! As always, Dr. Jockers does the heavy lifting for us when it comes to research and experience – all we have to do is listen!

This episode is for anyone keen on understanding intermittent fasting as well as anyone dealing with inflammation or chronic fatigue and is ready to give fasting a try as a viable solution. 

Please share if you find this episode to be of value. A five-star review would also be appreciated greatly. We believe our content has the potential to change someone’s life. Thank you!

 

“No matter how you’re looking at fasting, you should always really consider the food you eat in your last meal before you start your fast.”
