Ending an 88 hour Dry Fast with steak

I’m on the carnivore diet for autoimmune reasons, and eat almost exclusively beef. So, I didn’t have any other options here. Maybe bone broth, but I didn’t have any. Anyway, I ate a small portion of beef every 1-2 hours yesterday and did well with it. I had a normal bowel movement today, so I guess my body accepted it. We always talk about what our ancestors would do. If they didn’t eat for 3 or 4 days, I can’t see them eating a small amount of fruit or easing into it. They would probably kill an animal and devour it, right? Obviously, people should do whatever works best for them. My body is used to beef and it seems to work okay for me. I’m still working my way up with dry fasts. I started with 24 hours, then 28, 40, 48, then 60, 70 and now 88. I wish everyone success with their strategies and wish you all the best of health! Chronic illness sucks and I’m just doing whatever I can to get better.

I know there’s not a one size fits all formula for Autoimmunity issues - but my eczema pretty much went away after quitting dairy. I also fraternize with carnivore and don’t eat much leafy greens either but I feel it was the omission of dairy that stopped my autoimmunity. Cheers

Fellow carnivore here. I really don’t eat any differently after a fast compared to my normal day-to-day routine. I’ve done up to a 96-hour dry fast and immediately ate some buttery scrambled eggs and a pound of meat after sipping on some water. I haven’t experienced any digestive problems.

Answer

I don’t personally eat meat but I agree our bodies are all different and so refeeds do not look alike - people’s bodies react differently, and to each their own. Congratulations on the fast! Good luck to your well-earned healing

Yh I watched a lady on YouTube who went on a 40 day water fast, and she broke it with a bite of beef!!? The comments were saying things like nooo you should have chosen watermelon etc. I was kind of shocked myself to be honest. But she seemed ok and after her two day break she continued on another 40 day water fast (it was 1 of 3 water fasts! She look good after the first 40 days but terrible after 2nd and 3rd one)
