A 3-day Water Fast Success Plan is as much about calendar management as it is about physiology. To get the best results with the least amount of "life interference," follow this 72-hour framework. Phase 1: Pre-Fast Friday (The Runway) Don't "feast" before a fast. Use Friday to prepare your body. - The Meal: Focus on high-protein, high-fat, and low-carb (Keto-style) for your final meal. This helps your body transition into ketosis faster. - Hydration: Start increasing your water intake and add a pinch of sea salt for electrolytes. - The Cut-off: Aim to finish your last meal by 7:00 PM Friday evening. Phase 2: The Saturday "Hump" (24 Hours In) This is usually the most challenging day as your body switches fuel sources. - Stay Busy, Not Strenuous: This is the perfect time for low-intensity movement—light walking, reading, or the "nothing going on" tasks Rosemarie mentioned. - The Mental Game: Hunger comes in waves; it isn’t a constant state. When a wave hits, drink 8oz of water and wait 15 minutes. - Electrolytes are Key: If you feel a headache or dizziness, it’s usually an electrolyte deficiency, not a lack of calories. Phase 3: Sunday Clarity (48–60 Hours In) Many fasters report a "mental fog lifting" on day three. - Deep Reset: Your body is now in deep autophagy (cellular cleanup). - Reflect: Use this quiet time for journaling or planning your upcoming week. - The Break: If you are stopping at 72 hours, prepare your "Break-Fast" meal. Phase 4: Monday Morning (The Strategic Re-Entry) How you end the fast is more important than the fast itself. - The First Bite: Bone broth or a small amount of fermented vegetables (sauerkraut). - Wait: Give your digestion 30–60 minutes to wake up before eating a full meal. - The Goal: Avoid heavy carbs or processed sugars immediately, as this can lead to bloating and an insulin spike.

My book club is reading MaxOut Your Life by Ed Mylett this month. Perfect for new year. MaxOut Your Life is about living with intentional intensity instead of drifting through life on default. The core message is that most people operate far below their true capacity because they settle into comfort, routine, and unconscious habits. The book challenges you to fully activate your potential in every area: mindset, health, wealth, relationships, and purpose. Maxing out your life doesn’t start with doing more. It starts with clearing more. Fasting is not just about food. It's about fasting from: - Distraction - Self-doubt - Old identities - Emotional clutter - Reactive living When you remove what no longer serves you, your power returns naturally.Your clarity sharpens.Your energy elevates.Your discipline becomes self-respect. Every fast is a reset. Every reset is a reminder:You are designed to operate at a higher frequency. Today, ask yourself:“What would it look like to max out my health, my focus, and my self-trust?” Drop a 🔥 if you’re choosing elevation over exhaustion.
