Phase 1: Getting Ready & Ketovore
Preparation is the most important part of a safe dry fast. Jumping into a fast after eating a standard, high-carb diet can lead to a severe "keto flu" and extra stress on your body. The goal is to get your body used to burning fat (ketosis) before the fast even begins.

The Metabolic Armor: Choosing Your Prep
Your preparation strategy defines the success of your fast. Choose the path that matches your metabolic health.
Option A: The Juicing Plan (Light Prep)
Recommended for: People with no food sensitivities, those with fasting experience, or those who want a faster but slightly more difficult start.
A strategic juicing plan can help hydrate your body and flood it with healthy enzymes. This method uses a "Moderate Carb Taper" to slowly lower your sugar intake before the fast while keeping your electrolytes high.
The 3-Day Juice Prep
For the 3 days leading up to your fast, switch to a juice-only diet. This prepares your cells and cleans your system without the burden of solid food.
- Amount: Drink up to 72 ounces of fresh juice per day.
- Mineral Balance: Focus on a high-potassium and low-sodium diet. This helps your cells hold water more effectively before the fast.
- No Fiber: Keep the juices clear. You want the nutrients and electrolytes without the fiber bulk in your gut.
Option B: The Ketovore Plan (Deep Healing)
Recommended for: Chronic illness (Long Covid, Autoimmune), beginners, or those who get very sick when they stop eating sugar.
This plan is not for people who have already done a lot of fasting and keto but are still getting sicker. You will need a more advanced strategy.
This preparation is essential for deep repair. By cutting out sugar and grains and eating mostly meat and healthy animal fats, you lower inflammation before the fast starts. This gets your body ready to burn fat for energy, which makes the actual fast much safer and easier. It builds "metabolic armor" so you don't crash when you stop eating.
🧬 Why This Works: Quick Wins & The Long Game
1. Immediate Energy Boost (Bypassing the Problem)
Your cells are currently struggling to use sugar for energy. If we force them to fast without
help, they crash. This diet provides backup fuel (ketones) that gives your
brain and body immediate energy (about 27% more). This keeps your brain working while your body
prepares for a deep clean.
2. Early Cleaning Crew
Don't wait for the fast to start cleaning your body. This diet triggers a mild "pre-clean"
right now. By clearing out some of the junk early, you reduce the shock of the actual
fast. It's like taking out the trash before doing a deep spring clean.
3. Lowering Inflammation (Putting Out the Fire)
Starting a dry fast while your body is inflamed is painful and dangerous. This diet acts like a
fire extinguisher, calming down the systems that cause "cytokine storms" and
pain. Entering the fast in a calm state is much safer.
4. Calming Your Nerves
Fasting causes a surge of adrenaline. If you're already stressed, this can be hard to handle.
This diet naturally boosts a "chill" chemical in your brain (GABA), helping you stay calm and
stable durante el ayuno.
We are not staying on this diet forever. This is a tool to help you survive the cleaning phase. We use this to clear out junk and keep your energy stable. Once the fast is over and your body is clean, we will switch again. Our goal after the fast is to eat healthy carbs that will give you a high-performance metabolism again.
The Day Before: The Full Flush
On the day before you start your dry fast, you must clear your digestive tract and hyper-hydrate. This ensures no waste sits in your gut during the fast.
Liver & Colon Cleaning
A clean colon is essential. Clinical studies show that using enemas reduces the "acidotic crisis" (headaches/nausea) by up to 56% (Khoroshilov). Clearing stagnant bile before you stop drinking water is the safest approach.
Standard Scorch Prep
The standard protocol is the Day Before Flush described above: Morning Coffee Enema (or black coffee) followed by Magnesium Citrate Oral Cleanse and all-day juicing. This keeps the fast comfortable and clean.
💡 Advanced Technique: You may perform the Coffee Enema 12-14 hours into the first day of the dry fast for deeper liver stimulation. (Experienced fasters only).
💧 Simple Alternative: If coffee is too much, perform a standard warm water enema the night before you start your fast to clear the colon without a liver flush. (22% symptom improvement)
