Rem, have you been eating LC now for a while so you don't snack, maybe down to two meals a day? You don't have to jump in with a 36 hour fast to start, you could do 18, then the 24 hour eat dinner every night protocol Fung has in his Fasting Guidelines. Probably depends on your personality and your preparation, but you might consider working up to a longer fast if 36 is difficult at first.
Understand about the broth, I bought 2 knuckle bones from the farmers market yesterday but it will be days before I get around to making it. More often than not, I end up using a boxed broth. Organic, not low sodium, not low fat chicken or beef broth. Trader Joes or a Pacific Organic type from other stores. A homemade broth would have more fat and gelatin extracted from the bones, so I add the allowed 1T of coconut oil/day to it, maybe extra salt, and take a serving of gelatin that day (optional, good for joints though).
Are the blood tests he uses in his patient resources? If you want more help than this random group you found on the internet
his long distance program is only about US$ 160 for a year. I use Direct Labs and am very happy with their service (there is a doctor at their company who in effect is "writing" your order, it usually ends up in your account within 30 minutes
) would only add a FBG to your list. Opportunity to check your glucometer against their result.
[EDIT: AHA. FOUND IT! The full list of blood tests are under the JOIN tab for patients who want his Long Distance program. Lists exactly what test to get at start and every three months. https://intensivedietarymanagement.com/join/ ] ps: DirectLabs popular Comprehensive Wellness package for $99 picks up many of those Fung lists at once.
Goes without saying, monitor your BG very closely! Read the caution thread on this forum. Around my one meal on a fasting day, I take a few BG through the day, then pre-meal and some PP also.
