reset TUESDAY: Still Fasted? Hour 48-72 Final Turn
Brothers,
The full moon came out. We are in full moon energy. It came into the sky at 7:57pm. We saw it bright around 8:30 to 8:45pm Eastern, and from 9 to 9:30 it was shining. You can actually go outside right now and still probably see it. I personally was on the beach going through my prompts.
So here we are, approaching hour 48. Some of you who started Saturday night are now at hour 60. What a journey it is.
From hour 48 to hour 60, here is what has happened to your body. Autophagy has been ramping for the last full day. Your cells have been clearing out damaged proteins and broken machinery you have been carrying for years. Insulin is at the floor. Your brain has been running on ketones, not glucose. Growth hormone has been elevated. You have likely slept differently than you have in a long time.
Here is what is happening right now. The cleanup is going deeper. Your immune system is starting to regenerate. BDNF, the protein that builds new brain cells, is climbing. Stem cells are beginning to mobilize. The mental clarity you are feeling is not in your head, it is in your blood.
Here is what will happen for the rest of today and into tomorrow. As you cross into hour 60 and approach hour 72, stem cell production peaks. Your immune system gets an actual reboot. Old cells are recycled. Inflammation drops in places you have not been able to address with anything else. This is the protocol earning its name.
Congratulate yourself. Be proud.
For those of you who started Saturday night, you are rounding 72 hours. If you can make it to tomorrow morning for a group breaking of the fast, that is awesome. If you need to break the fast tonight at the 72-hour mark, here is what to do.
Get yourself some organic sauerkraut and start with that. Another way is to sip on bone broth. Add some salt, heat it up, sip slowly. That is protein, and it will be the first thing entering your body. Some of you might have to go number two, and it might be a little uncomfortable. That is why we slow refeed. Pay attention to that.
If you are feeling called to it, another way to break the fast is through a fruit feast, which is what I have done in the past. Get handfuls of blueberries, blackberries, strawberries, bananas, mangoes. You are adding so many nutrients to your body right out of the gates.
The next time you eat, which is maybe the next morning, will be very light. You can start with eggs or yogurt, then a few hours later you can have some fish. This is the refeeding portion.
For the rest of us, we are still standing together. Half of us are at the two and a half day mark, half at the two day mark. We will break the fast tomorrow morning. Stick with it.
JOURNALING:
Today is a good day for prompts. We are going to do three. For each one, write what you want, why you want it, and how you are going to do it.
For my SPIRITUALITY, WHAT I want is......
(examples: Connection, Faith, Surrender, Stillness, Trust, Devotion, Presence, Alignment, Peace, Grace)
WHY I want this is because....
HOW I am going to do it is....
For my RELATIONSHIPS, WHAT I want is......
(examples: My children, my wife or girlfriend, my parents, my social life, my brotherhood, the right people I am calling in, myself)
WHY I want this is because....
HOW I am going to do it is....
For my MONEY WELLNESS, WHAT I want is......
(examples: Abundance, Flow, Stability, Freedom, Multiple Streams, Investments, Generosity, Clean Books, Discipline, Right Relationship with Money)
WHY I want this is because....
HOW I am going to do it is....
Throughout the day, come back and share whatever is coming up for you. Tonight, I will have another post.
Reminder, we still have two days of continued clean refeeding (at a minimum) before we conclude this experience. The last post will be Friday morning.
If you have been doing the journaling, we are not finished with that. It is still important, because we are creating the life you WANT. You are writing down your inspiration, which is your WHY. And you are writing down your HOW so you know what action steps to take, which come right away or later.
And now we are on the residue energy of the full moon. The intensity decreases, but we can still utilize it for the next couple of days.
If you are feeling tired or sluggish, treat yourself to a nap. Go in your car, recline the chair, put on some relaxing music. Honor that. You are doing great. Keep it up. We are rounding the final turn!
As you can see, by day one of the reset there was a lot of excitement. A lot of comments. A lot of men were engaged. And now the numbers have gotten lighter in terms of who's still in. This is not easy, it takes work, and such is life to be our optimal selves.
Drop a "STILL FASTING" if you are still in it. 💪🏼
