🔹 DETOX BROTH FASTING – COMPLETE GUIDE (2025 Edition)
(a.k.a. “Fasting with Detox Broths” or “Comforted Fasting”)
What is it?
A gentle and effective fasting method that allows nutrient-rich, low-calorie broths during the fasting window. It supports digestion, provides electrolytes, and reduces fatigue during longer fasts or detox periods.
🌿 MAIN GOALS:
- Accelerate fat burn without overwhelming the body
- Reduce inflammation and digestive bloating
- Maintain electrolytes and gut support during fasts
- Ideal for beginners or sensitive individuals
