Why bone broth works while fasting

• Low in calories (30–60 per cup, depending on richness)

• Rich in minerals like sodium, potassium, magnesium

• Provides collagen & amino acids (great for joints, skin, and gut lining)

• Can curb hunger without spiking insulin much (great for gentle fasting)

Best Times to Have Bone Broth While Fasting

• Mid-morning or late afternoon (when hunger hits hardest)

• On extended fasts (24+ hrs) for electrolyte support

• To ease into or out of a fast (especially with longer fasts)

Tips for Bone Broth Fasting

• Aim for homemade or high-quality store-bought (organic, no additives)

• 1–2 cups/day is a great range if using it to support fasting

• Warm it and sip slowly—it's soothing and grounding

Coach❤️ Theah’s Signature Bone Broth

Ingredients:

• 2–3 lbs organic bones (chicken, beef, or mix—knuckle, marrow, neck, or feet are ideal)

• 1–2 tbsp apple cider vinegar (helps draw minerals from the bones)

• 1 onion, quartered (leave the peel for trace minerals)

• 2 carrots, chopped

• 2 celery stalks, chopped

• 3–5 cloves garlic, smashed

• A handful of parsley or other herbs (thyme, rosemary, bay leaf)

• 1–2 tsp Himalayan or sea salt

• Filtered water to cover (about 12–16 cups)

Instructions:

1. Roast the bones (optional, but deepens flavor):Roast at 400°F (200°C) for 25–30 minutes if using beef or chicken bones.

2. Fill a large pot or slow cooker with the bones and veggies.Add vinegar and water to cover everything by about an inch.

3. Bring to a boil, then immediately reduce to a low simmer.Skim off any foam that rises in the first 30 minutes.

4. Simmer gently:

   • Beef bones: 18–24 hours

   • Chicken bones: 12–18 hours

   • In a pressure cooker (Instant Pot): ~2 hours on high

5. Strain it well, discard solids, and pour into glass jars or containers.

6. Cool and refrigerate. It should become jelly-like when chilled (that’s the collagen magic!). Skim off any hardened fat if preferred.

Serving Tips (Fasting Support Style):

• Warm gently and sip 1 cup in the morning or mid-fast.

• Add a pinch of extra salt or turmeric if you need more electrolyte support.

• You can freeze in portions for convenience.
