Probably depends on your personality and your preparation, but you might consider working up to a longer fast if 36 is difficult at first.

I see what your saying, but knowing myself...if I put my toes in the water, I'm not going in, I need to jump into it with both feet and dial it down, otherwise I won't get there. In addition, I really need to get my Sugars down quickly.

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).

I bought a couple boxes of broth today for my fasting days, which start tomorrow.
