It may sound really hard, and believe me, I never thought I would be able to get through it, but once you have gotten past day two, it’s actually really easy. My clients who have also completed the fast have been surprised at just how quickly the 4 days went, and that is probably because of how much energy, clarity, and improvements in their overall health that happened in such a short space of time.
My only precaution is If you have a reaction that doesn’t leave after day two, I suggest you stop the fast. But for most people, completing this 4 day fast track is incredibly effective!
There’s a lot of questioning about whether females should be fasting, and this is a very fair point, your typical intermittent fasting, is NOT ideal, whether it is for certain days or certain hours, it has a really negative effect on our hormones over time (there is so much I could say around this, so I am going to do a separate blog on it).
But, long story short, the 4-day fast track is more of a one off, or once every so often situation so will not have the same consequences, if anything, fast tracking the healing of the gut will enable your hormones to be healthier!
The key when it comes to the fast is not only completing the 4-days, but what you do after the 4-days. We cannot expect our body to be healed after 4-days when there is potentially years of damage, so following some guidelines to support your gut healing post-fast will also be incredibly beneficial in optimising your gut health!
I have actually included a section in my 4 Day Gut Fast Track that gives you those guidelines to support you further! So click the link if you want more info!
