Inspired by thoughtful question and the interest from so many of you, it’s time to co-create something powerful: a 3-Day Fast Challenge that’s flexible, supportive, and rooted in wellness. We’re not just diving in—we’re building a ritual. One that honors preparation, celebrates the fast itself, and reflects deeply afterward. And yes, we’ll offer an OMAD (One Meal A Day) alternative for those who want a gentler path.
Here’s the proposed structure. Let’s refine it together:
🧠 Phase 1: 7-Day Prep (Mind + Body Readiness)
Let’s ease in with intention. This phase is about gradually reducing sugar, caffeine, and processed foods while increasing hydration, sleep, and nutrient density.
Suggested Rituals:
- 🌿 Daily hydration goals (electrolytes welcome!)
- 🥗 Light dinners and earlier cutoffs
- 🧘♀️ Mindful movement or breathwork
- 📓 Journaling prompts: “What am I releasing?” “What am I inviting in?”
🔥 Phase 2: 3-Day Fast (Challenge + Support)
This is the heart of it. Whether you’re doing a full fast (water, herbal teas, electrolytes) or the OMAD version, we’ll support each other with check-ins, encouragement, and myth-busting.
Suggested Support Tools:
- 🧃 Electrolyte recipes and hydration hacks
- 💬 Daily community check-ins (“How’s your energy?” “What’s shifting?”)
- 🎧 Optional guided meditations or affirmations
- 🥄 OMAD option: One nutrient-dense meal per day, ideally mid-afternoon
🌈 Phase 3: 7-Day Post-Fast (Reintegration + Reflection)
This phase is about gentle re-entry, celebrating insights, and listening to our bodies. We’ll share what we learned, how we feel, and what we want to carry forward.
Suggested Practices:
- 🍲 Gradual reintroduction of whole foods (soups, smoothies, steamed veggies)
- 📝 Reflection prompts: “What surprised me?” “What do I want to keep?”
- 🎉 Community celebration post: Share your wins, wisdom, and wow moments
