I did 3 day sardine fast , i ate 3to 5 cans a day and i lost 10lbs and that was 8 mo. Ago and ive lost another 5 lbs not doing anything but meat .i cannot exercise because i was so sick i was bed ridden 7 years and im learning to walk again with the help of a walker.
This past winter I spent it in the Puglia region in Italy. I rented a small house in the middle of an olive field. The owner has his own olive manufacturer. While giving me a tour of his company, he explained the different levels of oil quality. The best one sold in bottles, pure 100% virgin oil comes from his best trees. The second quality comes from olives coming local farmers around the area. And to my surprise, he told me that the oil with the lowest quality is sold exclusively to the food canning industry and made mostly from the remaining olives that have fallen from the trees coming from any farmers around and not subjected to high standard of quality applied to the previous ones. So …he said, the olive oil that is in any cans is not what he would put in his mouth. Since then, I’m buying sardines in water, remove the water and add quality olive oil.
I’ve started my first sardine challenge today, 2 cans in so far. I don’t have support but I’m determined. Been carnivore 5 months now and lost 60 lbs while cooking separate suppers for the rest of my family but whatever.
I do not have a partner or support in my fasting or sardine fasting either. I find that watching these videos support me and the fact I feel so much better is very supportive!! I love the way I feel now and never want to go back!!
I have done 2 sardine fasts this year. I am very insulin resistant and this helps me lower my fasting morning blood sugars. I am 76 yo female 5'2 123 lbs, been T2 over 40 years. Now off metformin x 3 years. lost 70 lbs and lowered bp. 4 years ago. I do mostly TRE and occ IF do not eat after 4pm unless unavoidable. Thyroidectomy 20 years ago. My son and I are a team, plus I listen to your videos and follow Dr Fung and Bikman. I find the sardine fasts work better for me than true fasting. I eat 2 meals in my eating window. no gall bladder either and not problem..
I did a 72 hr sardine challenge for the most recent 21 day metabolic kick class. I ate two cans of sardines for two days then was so full and so past wanting anymore food I just went into water fasting on the third day. Then I did 4 days of water fast. I took the class because I had stalled on keto and was relying on keto treats and becoming addicted to them and basically unable to get myself to overnight fast like a two or three day fast. I was stuck and felt like I was slipping away. I never would have done the sardine challenge without being in the group. It made all the difference I needed. Having the sardines taught me that my satiety hormones and their signalling systems have probably never in my life worked properly. It felt strange, but not exactly a bad feeling, just strange. Overall I felt amazing and couldn't believe the ongoing addictive thoughts were silenced by a can of small fish.
September 15th and I will be at 90 days eating sardines. I do not plan on ever stopping. I may eat a ribeye steak in addition to the sardines. Sardines give me a lot of energy and they stop my muscle cramps. Muscle cramps are very painful!!!
Wow 😮 I am new to this challenge and going to start when I'm done with the veggies in my fridge. I enjoy them so this will be exciting to experience plus way less cleanup in the kitchen 😅 I'm ready to do this!!
@@dgunearthed7859 I buy the Season's Boneless and Skinless in olive oil. No head and no tail, but the rest of the fish is intact. Tastes good, like a good tasting tuna.
@ElaineH712 nice...I just watched another old sardine video of hers where they were kind of new to her and 4 cans in she really preferred boneless with skin on as she felt they tasted better and gave her.less heart burn. I've had them and the beach cliff herring steaks w green chili. They're edible with I believe no carbs per can. They do have the skin and bones which can be removed. Ok thanks for getting back to me
Thank you for following through with the test results from this lady, who ate nothing but sardines. Been waiting for it. God Bless this MD! 👏 😇 ❤️🤴❤️ 😇 👏
If she’s from the sub/continent, be careful. Its a favourite I’ve attended court in uk where a guy went back to his wife after one attempt and she got him second time.
When I saw your graph in the original sardine fast video, you indicated results were faster, better and sustained with sardines than water only. I switched to sardines 3 days before and water only 2 days after chemotherapy infusions. My highest ketones were 6.9, and my DBR was 13. I am now NED!😊
💯 3 month carni baby here and surprisingly perfectly satisfied with my limited menu: Chuck steaks, ground beef, bacon, pork belly, eggs, butter, cheese, mackerel and sardines. Duck .... As a treat, the other day i had lobster with me flanken ribs! The rare occasion that i eat out now, I'll stop at a bbq joint and get a lb of brisket . I'll go for ribs if they don't glaze it with bbq sauce, but usually ill just go for smoked brisket as it is amazing !
I love raw oysters. Slurp them up for optimal health. Everyone talks about gagging on sardines. That was my childhood snack as a child, a can of sardines. Loved them. On special occasions we had raw oysters. Having trouble with fat? Chew longer. I eat butter or tallow with my water-packed sardines.
I did a sardine challenge by myself once. The next two times, I was helping others with their weight loss. They didn't want to slowly and I started them on sardine fast for four weeks. Both men in 70s and 80s were thrilled after week 2. After three weeks one had a doctor appointment. He had great blood work and the lowest blood pressure 125 over 95. Currently I am doing another fast helping another. I am water fasting because I got sick the last time. I have been living KETO for years and do sardine fast to help others and for me to stay young
@user-om9qv5ec5v Yes, when after eating my second can on a three day sardine fast, I felt ill soon after and threw up. I don't think it was the sardines. I was just ill from something.
I'm 66 female, no health issues, 17 years carnivore except for 1 of those 17 years, chose raw vegan, out of ignorance for 8 months, gained 10 lbs, and I believe messed up my metabolism to some extent. I'm at 19th day sardines only by myself. Need to lose 50 lbs and have only lost 6. I am feeling I will be losing 2 lbs a week, which is fine. Will continue only sardines until I lose the 50 lbs no matter how long it takes. I also drink 2 to 3 butter coffees with stevia. I am experimenting with different scenarios and recording everything.
@@catalinamatze8786 Good for you Catalina! News is out that Stevia is mutagenic (causes gene mutations which could cause cancer). It also causes infertility. I ate a lot of stevia unfortunately. I am thrilled with the flavor and science behind monkfruit extract. Also, allulose may be one to research. Best to you!
My husband and I did the sardine challenge together the first time. He successfully completed that first challenge,however he did not care to repeat it. I have done the challenge 3 times since then, but I have not yet pushed myself to do this as a weekly thing. That is my next goal.
Facts about Arsenik: Before being too worried about arsenik you need to know: Arsenic occurs in two different forms: organic and inorganic form. It is the INORGANIC form that is the most toxic to humans. Drinking water and certain foods are the biggest sources of inorganic arsenic. Not small fish like Sardines. Groundwater contaminated with arsenic is used to irrigate crops in many countries, including cereals, and root and leafy vegetables. Rice appears particularly susceptible to uptake and storage of high levels of arsenic, both the organic and inorganic forms
Why not also eat canned mackerel? It's just as nutrient dense as sardines, and the kind of mackerel in tins is also low in mercury. Plus, I prefer the taste of mackerel to sardines.
I suspect it IS the mercury and other toxins. Mackerel and salmon are large fish that have eaten many smaller fish and are much higher in mercury than sardines, which eat plankton, crustacean eggs and tiny crustaceans.
I eat 4 to 5 cans of small fish (sardines, herring) a day, along with my meats… I like them and they provide an array of nutrients. I have to gain weight so I need to eat a lot ! So I decided to add sardines, but I’m always a little concerned as to the safety of eating so many 🤷🏻♀️
Anybody with a BMI below 20 should not be on any type of low/no carb keto/carni/sardine diet. Canned fish have high histamine levels. Any meat or fish that isn't fresh develops high histamine from the conversion of histidine. Scombroid food poisoning is quite well known. Methionine-homocysteine proteins are the most carcinogenic and toxic component of a diet. Methionine is angiogenic and forms blood vessels to tumors and involved in many forms of cancer. High protein animal product diets are the worst. Everybody feels great on keto/carni diets at first because to process fats/proteins as main ATP (adenosine triphosphate) cellular energy source BMR (body metabolic rate) must rise to make and keep ATP levels high to sustain that high BMR [as Carbs/glucose molecule makes more ATP molecules easier and more efficiently]. In that high BMR state cortisol, adrenaline and dopamine is released and the physiology is exactly as doing coke or meth as weight comes off, but after awhile the toxic effects "Keto/Atkins Flu" sets in. The real secret of keto/carni diets is carbs produce IGF-1 growth hormone. Between high BMR with low/no carbs and low/no IGF-1 body mass lowers. No magic in meat or fat. That same result can be done with non-animal flesh foods: Cheese, eggs, tofu, salads etc. All diets are "Keto"! Glucose through glycolysis by CoA (coenzyme A) becomes alpha-ketones pyruvate then ATP! As does fructose through fructolysis! None of these "Keto" video MDs use correct biological jargon and scientific terms correctly! Real "Ketosis" only really happens during fasting starvation mode. Dietary fats to ATP is lipolysis or "beta oxidation" by CoA to beta-ketones acetoacetate and BHB. The "MTHFR defect" is no mutation, but proof many people's ancestors did not eat high methionine-homocysteine animal based foods.
Just began my 30 Day journey. Fortunately, I live in Portugal and sardines are the national food! I can get them packed in olive oil, with lemon and with pickles. I love them with salmon roe and Dijon mustard on top!
Fyi... Nick Norwitz eats a lot of seafood. His last Omega-3 Index was 17%. He also reduced his mercury level using Cilantro. There are articles about using Cilantro to reduce heavy metals. If you eat a lot of seafood, look into adding a bit of this to your diet!
So, in a nutshell, the "sardine fast" is essentially a way to trick yourself into eating fewer calories. I'm glad Dr Boz addresses this. I started out over 5 years ago, age 50, weighing 350+ pounds (should weigh
Dr Ken Berry says it is probably due to hidden things like sauces and rubs and little cheating with seeds nuts and seed oils finding their way into your diet. Check that and be strict with yourself when you evaluate what you may have let seep back into your diet. I was stuck after a 15lb WL and found these were the things I wasn’t paying close attention to. Now my WL is heading back down. It’s hard to clean them out but it must be done to succeed. Be calm and carry on.
I have gone carnivore now as well. A couple of years ago I was on keto and over about 4 or 5 months lost about 50 lbs but the weight loss stopped and I gained it all back. Here is what I think is happening. First realize these facts- 1) Nearly all plants have anti-nutrients - these bind with necessary nutrients and keep your body from absorbing them. 2) There was a US Senate report from the 1930s or so that revealed that Farmland was depleted of necessary minerals for human health. 3) Ruminant animals feed all day trying to get the necessary nutrition from plants with ever-diminishing nitrition. Put the two together and we have a serious problem in our food supply getting the necessary nutrients for good health. The only conclusion is to go carnivore
@@DavidWolfensperger yes! Also, sardines are great because they have the full spectrum of ocean minerals that we need, that have been washed by rain out of the soil.
I am listening Dr. Boz. 69M, BMI 26. BG on this fast 80-90. Dr. Boz ratio about 11-12, monitoring my vitals, plenty electrolytes. Shin test very light dimple. Hair on my toes. I am day 10 on a 21 day fast. I started as I became concerned i am IR. I am. Not deeply but still am. Was Carnivore and BG >100, is what got me started. It puzzled me that 0 carbs and BG not low. Patience, Persistence. Thank you for your work. I am listening.
Dr. Boz. She had eight tablespoons of MCT every day. Is this the primary reason her ketones were so high? Would 90 days on sardines be this effective without the MCT?
@@Aangel452medium chain triglycerides-absorbed directly rather than going through the entire digestive process is specifically C8 & C10, (c=Caprylic Acid)
I'm at week 7 of this 72-hour sardine challenge by myself. At 51 I feel great doing this, especially when I have ketones in circulation, which usually starts to happen after 36-48 hours of fasting. My goal is to be able to water fast for 72 hours weekly by using this sardine challenge as stepping stones toward that goal. I hope this learned habit will eventually lower or even reverse my insulin resistance & pre-diabetic condition if consistently done.
I take statins and get dry eyes. I have been eating sardines and my eyes are no longer dry. I eat sardines, kimchee and rice. Thanks for your help and channel
Thanks for the feedback! I had terrible dry eyes and they gradually have improved thanks to increased sardines intake. I just didn’t realize that dry eyes had improved until I read your post. Congrats and thanks!
Good morning doctor, my name is Pietro, a simple pensioner passionate about medicine and its most "useful" and non-medical discoveries. I am Italian from the Marche region, I have been following it for some time because I also surf the web to follow prolonged fasting after having met the good compatriot gerontologist/biologist Valter Longo about ten years ago and having studied the fascinating discovery of Nobel Prize winner Yoshinori Ōsumi on autophagy of yeasts also applied positively to animals, where significant correlations were found between defects in the autophagy process and type II diabetes, cancer and some disorders that usually appear with advanced age such as Alzheimer's disease and Parkinson's disease. I therefore wanted to thank you for your beautiful, passionate scientific work and for your kindness which never hurts... See you again and good work.
Dr Boz, would be very, very helpful to know if the lady was eating sardines in water, sardines in oil, sardines in mustard, etc? Also, was she focused on a specific brand,? Many thanks for your teaching!
@@socol76 I did the 3 days fasting with only water, plain coffee, plain tea, and MCT oil. Lost the weight, then tried sardines diet to maintain weight.
2nd day of my week long sardine fast.. first one, so far so good! I find it isn’t bad with a teaspoon of apple cider vinegar, pepper, and Himalayan salt. Oh and I add 2 tablespoons melted butter bc the ones I have are in water. 2 days down… staying positive!!😊 I’ve already lost 4 lbs in a day and a half!
Be careful with the pepper. Lots and lots of oxylates. If you’ve ever had kidney stones or depression you might want to avoid. I just don’t feel as good with pepper. If your diet is normally full of oxylates (spinach, greens and nuts) then no biggie.
I am on 3rd day of sardines. So far, all as advertised.....lost 5 pounds.....measure BOZ ratio every day....going to correct direction. Compared to water fast....sardines fast is much easier. P.S. I'm a food addict
I agree completely with you. I’ve done 72 hour water fast and got great results but I was miserable. When I eat sardines, I don’t get hungry. I feel satisfied and my numbers are just as good as the water fast.
We're all food addicts. It's the additives in the processed foods (i.e., sugar, salt, and others we can't even pronounce) that are most likely causing it.
Thanks for the video! I am recovering from a heart ablation procedure (yesterday) and thank God things went well! I plan on using a sardine diet to speed up recovery. Good to see her results on arsenic, very reassuring. If there's better ways to "hack" my recovery let me know...
Upon Graduation from 13 Years of College, 5 Businesses she quit, and finally selling Life Insurance, My Wife uped my Life Insurance from $250K to $1 Million then informed me Her Friend from Work was inviting me to go Hunting. 🤔👀 Yeah, Really. When someone shows you who they are, believe them.
What is her name? Does she have a channel, or place where she has documented the 90 days? Did she eat a specific brand of sardines? if so, which one? Did she mix with other ingredients occassionally? We want answers!! :)
First of all, not all sardines are created equal. Unfortunately, there are three or four major brands that harvest their sardines from the Baltic Sea, which is known to be quite polluted. It wouldn't surprise me one bit if they had high levels of arsenic and other pollutants. I would suggest sardine consumers do their homework before choosing a brand. I prefer pilchards harvested from the Atlantic, off of Portugal or Morroco.
Dr Boz, would you please address xanthelasma. Are other carnivores experiencing the cholesterol sacs in the face? What can I do to stop this? Thank you. Love sardines!
What are these cholesterol sacs you speak of? Where on the face are they located? I have puffiness under my right eye, down below the orbit of the eye.
Dr. Boz mentioned concerns about arsenic in sardines, but it's important to note that most arsenic in seafood is organic, which is generally non-toxic. Inorganic arsenic is the harmful form, but sardines are low in it. Regularly eating sardines from trusted sources remains safe and provides many health benefits. Misinformation about arsenic can cause unnecessary fear-balance is key.
Sardines are very small and young fish. They have been proven to be very safe to eat, super healthy and affordable. I eat 2-3 cans a week and I pay a little more for the really good kind (Portuguese olive oil and Portuguese tomato sauce). As long as the fish you are eating are either very small or very thin (not big fish like Tuna), you are safe from arsenic.
Safe Catch test all of their fish for mercury. The founder of the company was mercury poisoned once and she created this company, or so I was told. I buy all of my canned fish from them. The trout is really good. No skin or bones though.
So eating sardines increased her vitamin D naturally without taking a vitamin D3 supplement? If I understood that correctly that is amazing and much better than having to worry about buying supplements. Thank you for reading.
Yes, because your fat cells also release stored nutrients, which include vitamin D, when you keep your insulin low and lose weight. Sardines are also very nutrient dense.
I’m more interested in how she was able to get variety in her consumption of sardines for that many days. That’s the deal for me. I did the sardine 72 hour elimination diet but it was so challenging. I love fish but sardines are a stretch for my palette.
Easy. You’re already in a keto diet. Just be sure you’re getting enough fat. Add fat to lean meat. If you’re eating Chuck - eat the fat with the meat. I use a slow cooker and then pour the whole think into a Pyrex casserole dish and cool it. Cut it up like meat pie. The white fat is a zero carb good snack if you are starving. MCT oil can be added to boost ketones. Butter in your coffee. Basically add more fat until your poo gets too soft. Then back off a bit. Your fat threshold can be built up over time. Ketones will go up with more dietary fat and especially mct (skips the digestive system and goes straight to blood to liver).
Good luck figuring it out. I was unable to figure out how to use it again. The print is so small I can't read any of it. So I can't figure out to erase the last one I did.
I did sardines in the beginning. I am fixing to do it again. My experience is typical of what you describe with other people doing this. My blood sugars dropped pretty quickly and the ketones rose as quickly. I am stubborn, so I did this alone, lol.
It's been 2 weeks, are you still on it? I did 4 days last week and back on it since Monday and losing again, finally!!! Also I read the Omega-3s thicken hair shafts!!
I was eating 1-2 cans per day and sure enough I had elevated levels of arsenic. The accepted level is 1-9 units, mine was 20 units. Now cut back to two cans per week. Miss my sardines!
Just finding your UA-cam channel. I am definitely insulin resistant (Age 62, 12 yrs overweight, BMI is 32, A1C is 5.6-5.8 steady for 6 years) I fought breast cancer this year (HR+, HER2-) and doing well. I am taking Anastrozole and I hate what it is doing to my body. I would love to start the Sardine fast and help my body fight the resistance and become healthier. Do you recommend starting the Sardine fast? Because the cancer is hormone driven - I was told to limit my intake of meats, due to the extra hormones.
Great job on the Omega 3 Index!!!! Your baseline is really good to start with! Most are in the 4% range. My N=2 experiment showed without any doubt, fish and or suppliments are required on a regular weekly basis in a carnivore diet to have optimum values. The triglyerides look a little high and I wonder if it was the MCT oil doing that??? Mine went up and the only things that I changed was adding heavy cream, coffee and MCT. So I eliminated the heavy cream and MCT during this next test period. Currently in a butter fast. Several influencers talking about it recently, so thought I would give it a try! Will post data on it when completed! Thank you both for this data. Love the N=1 experiments. Dr Boz, do you have a video on why you use your own glucose/ketone formula instead of the standard GKI?
One thing that needs to be considered when eating sardines especially at these amounts is purines, sardines have high amounts of purines from which the body creates uric acid. If you suffer from arthritis or the gout, might want to avoid eating this food in large quantities.
Hi Dr. Boz, I've been eating at least 3 cans of sardines a week and sometimes more. Sometimes I am good and eat it with just veggies, but my favorite way to eat it with grated daikon radish, miso soup, veggies, and Japanese pickled vegetables or plum. I heard some murmurings of the sardine challenge, so found this video very interesting. I think that I could do it, but I want to know how your husband put up with your fishy breath. My partner always can detect my sardine breath no matter how much time I spend cleaning my teeth, gums and tongue, using a nonalcoholic mouthwash, using xylitol gum, etc. Any suggestions for fishy breath?
I have been inspired to try the Sardine challenge again. I have been on and off Keto for several months. I have no support group nor know who in my area can help me. I have party crashers trying sabotage me and they don't even know it. It's there a support group in Texas?
If you 'measure' Ketones you will constantly struggle. It's ok at first but then your body adapts and the measuring becomes less reliable as you go along, for that reason. Plus, ALL methods of measurement are at best unreliable. It won't mean you are not achieving your goal. Constantly measuring is as much folly as obsessively counting calories was and is. Eat foods you know to be keto friendly and keep to reasonable portion sizes and you will be ok and you won't be worrying about every mouthful of foods you eat not 'adding up' Doing that is putting you in a very counter productive place generally and is not healthy. By the way, I have been very successfully keto dieting for many years. This kind of stuff reminds me of when I had my first baby forty two years ago. I read in a book that you should breast feed your baby for so many minutes each side. 🙄 The Midwife arrived and I was feeding the baby with a little clock on the table in front of me 😂 She looked and said "and you can get rid of THAT right away!" She did me a HUGE favour! 😊
My BMI is 22. I eat 1/2 can of sardines twice per month for years. Yesterday I ate a whole can for breakfast. I felt queasy. I did eat less food the rest of day. I will try again today. 1/2 can, then wait a few hours to finish it. No seed oils.
Hello Dr boss sorry to bother you my mom just got diagnosed with the beginning stages of diabetes and kidney problems would you recommend this type of sardine fast for her?
Rice fields are saturated with arsenic that was once used as an insecticide. The rice takes up the arsenic. All rice should be soaked overnight & then rinsed before cooking.
Sardines are the highest in omega 3s and Iodine and the lowest in mercury than any other fish.Fresh sardines from a fishmongers is better than canned sardines !

I did a sardine challenge by myself once. The next two times, I was helping others with their weight loss. They didn't want to slowly and I started them on sardine fast for four weeks. Both men in 70s and 80s were thrilled after week 2. After three weeks one had a doctor appointment. He had great blood work and the lowest blood pressure 125 over 95. Currently I am doing another fast helping another. I am water fasting because I got sick the last time. I have been living KETO for years and do sardine fast to help others and for me to stay young
You got sick doing a sardine challenge?
@user-om9qv5ec5v Yes, when after eating my second can on a three day sardine fast, I felt ill soon after and threw up. I don't think it was the sardines. I was just ill from something.
I'm 66 female, no health issues, 17 years carnivore except for 1 of those 17 years, chose raw vegan, out of ignorance for 8 months, gained 10 lbs, and I believe messed up my metabolism to some extent. I'm at 19th day sardines only by myself. Need to lose 50 lbs and have only lost 6. I am feeling I will be losing 2 lbs a week, which is fine. Will continue only sardines until I lose the 50 lbs no matter how long it takes. I also drink 2 to 3 butter coffees with stevia. I am experimenting with different scenarios and recording everything.
@@catalinamatze8786 Good for you Catalina! News is out that Stevia is mutagenic (causes gene mutations which could cause cancer). It also causes infertility. I ate a lot of stevia unfortunately. I am thrilled with the flavor and science behind monkfruit extract. Also, allulose may be one to research. Best to you!

My husband and I did the sardine challenge together the first time. He successfully completed that first challenge,however he did not care to repeat it. I have done the challenge 3 times since then, but I have not yet pushed myself to do this as a weekly thing. That is my next goal.
8 consecutive weeks with a sardine challenge…
What were your results?
Facts about Arsenik: Before being too worried about arsenik you need to know: Arsenic occurs in two different forms: organic and inorganic form. It is the INORGANIC form that is the most toxic to humans. Drinking water and certain foods are the biggest sources of inorganic arsenic. Not small fish like Sardines. Groundwater contaminated with arsenic is used to irrigate crops in many countries, including cereals, and root and leafy vegetables. Rice appears particularly susceptible to uptake and storage of high levels of arsenic, both the organic and inorganic forms
Why not also eat canned mackerel? It's just as nutrient dense as sardines, and the kind of mackerel in tins is also low in mercury. Plus, I prefer the taste of mackerel to sardines.
Why not salmon also I wonder.
I suspect it IS the mercury and other toxins. Mackerel and salmon are large fish that have eaten many smaller fish and are much higher in mercury than sardines, which eat plankton, crustacean eggs and tiny crustaceans.
What stops you to try it?💪🏻
@@moladhdodhia164 Bigger fish - more mercury
Mackerel are better IMO. As they are surface carnivorous feeders. Sardines are filter feeders. They eat detritus, including microplastics, if present.
sardines are captured "young", they have not lived long to accumulate high possion levels
Microplastics in the lining of the can though. :(
Omg I can't worry about everything @@AnneAlready
@@michelesteward5170 No, exactly! x
Did you mean Poseidon? jk!
@@AnneAlready Red meat is also wrapped in plastic.
I eat 4 to 5 cans of small fish (sardines, herring) a day, along with my meats… I like them and they provide an array of nutrients. I have to gain weight so I need to eat a lot ! So I decided to add sardines, but I’m always a little concerned as to the safety of eating so many 🤷🏻♀️
Anybody with a BMI below 20 should not be on any type of low/no carb keto/carni/sardine diet. Canned fish have high histamine levels. Any meat or fish that isn't fresh develops high histamine from the conversion of histidine. Scombroid food poisoning is quite well known. Methionine-homocysteine proteins are the most carcinogenic and toxic component of a diet. Methionine is angiogenic and forms blood vessels to tumors and involved in many forms of cancer. High protein animal product diets are the worst. Everybody feels great on keto/carni diets at first because to process fats/proteins as main ATP (adenosine triphosphate) cellular energy source BMR (body metabolic rate) must rise to make and keep ATP levels high to sustain that high BMR [as Carbs/glucose molecule makes more ATP molecules easier and more efficiently]. In that high BMR state cortisol, adrenaline and dopamine is released and the physiology is exactly as doing coke or meth as weight comes off, but after awhile the toxic effects "Keto/Atkins Flu" sets in. The real secret of keto/carni diets is carbs produce IGF-1 growth hormone. Between high BMR with low/no carbs and low/no IGF-1 body mass lowers. No magic in meat or fat. That same result can be done with non-animal flesh foods: Cheese, eggs, tofu, salads etc. All diets are "Keto"! Glucose through glycolysis by CoA (coenzyme A) becomes alpha-ketones pyruvate then ATP! As does fructose through fructolysis! None of these "Keto" video MDs use correct biological jargon and scientific terms correctly! Real "Ketosis" only really happens during fasting starvation mode. Dietary fats to ATP is lipolysis or "beta oxidation" by CoA to beta-ketones acetoacetate and BHB. The "MTHFR defect" is no mutation, but proof many people's ancestors did not eat high methionine-homocysteine animal based foods.
Just began my 30 Day journey. Fortunately, I live in Portugal and sardines are the national food! I can get them packed in olive oil, with lemon and with pickles. I love them with salmon roe and Dijon mustard on top!
Fyi... Nick Norwitz eats a lot of seafood. His last Omega-3 Index was 17%. He also reduced his mercury level using Cilantro. There are articles about using Cilantro to reduce heavy metals. If you eat a lot of seafood, look into adding a bit of this to your diet!
Actually he added chorella and cilantro to his homemade mayonaise. His mercury went down quite a bit.
I wonder about aluminum, bpa and other chemicals in the can? Can we test for those too?
So, in a nutshell, the "sardine fast" is essentially a way to trick yourself into eating fewer calories. I'm glad Dr Boz addresses this. I started out over 5 years ago, age 50, weighing 350+ pounds (should weigh
Do you track on chronometer? Nutrients (calories) adjust for you w/weight loss, while keeping you in ketosis. Best
Dr Ken Berry says it is probably due to hidden things like sauces and rubs and little cheating with seeds nuts and seed oils finding their way into your diet. Check that and be strict with yourself when you evaluate what you may have let seep back into your diet. I was stuck after a 15lb WL and found these were the things I wasn’t paying close attention to. Now my WL is heading back down. It’s hard to clean them out but it must be done to succeed. Be calm and carry on.
I have gone carnivore now as well. A couple of years ago I was on keto and over about 4 or 5 months lost about 50 lbs but the weight loss stopped and I gained it all back.
Here is what I think is happening. First realize these facts-
1) Nearly all plants have anti-nutrients - these bind with necessary nutrients and keep your body from absorbing them.
2) There was a US Senate report from the 1930s or so that revealed that Farmland was depleted of necessary minerals for human health.
3) Ruminant animals feed all day trying to get the necessary nutrition from plants with ever-diminishing nitrition.
Put the two together and we have a serious problem in our food supply getting the necessary nutrients for good health.
The only conclusion is to go carnivore
@@DavidWolfensperger yes! Also, sardines are great because they have the full spectrum of ocean minerals that we need, that have been washed by rain out of the soil.
@@HammyGirl999 I agree. Small sea fish that consume seaweed that grow in the mineral remains of ocean lava flows are great for nutrients.
I am listening Dr. Boz.
69M, BMI 26. BG on this fast 80-90. Dr. Boz ratio about 11-12, monitoring my vitals, plenty electrolytes. Shin test very light dimple. Hair on my toes.
I am day 10 on a 21 day fast.
I started as I became concerned i am IR. I am. Not deeply but still am.
Was Carnivore and BG >100, is what got me started. It puzzled me that 0 carbs and BG not low.
Patience, Persistence.
Thank you for your work.
I am listening.
Dr. Boz. She had eight tablespoons of MCT every day. Is this the primary reason her ketones were so high? Would 90 days on sardines be this effective without the MCT?
What is MCT, I wanted to know when I watched the previous video but she never said?
MCT is isolated from coconut oil
This is 1/2 cup oil! Wow
I didn’t know she ate that much oil
🤢
I would say that helped the length of the fast
@@Aangel452medium chain triglycerides-absorbed directly rather than going through the entire digestive process is specifically C8 & C10, (c=Caprylic Acid)
I was wondering the same thing. Awesome ketones but I was wondering too 😊
A better test would be to send a can of the sardines she is eating for arsenic levels.
So smart!❤
They are many elements in the sardine that you do not absorb so testing the person is better.
But they are just testing for mercury. Not many elements.
Yes, several random tins . Also repeated every 3 months in respective areas.
I'm at week 7 of this 72-hour sardine challenge by myself. At 51 I feel great doing this, especially when I have ketones in circulation, which usually starts to happen after 36-48 hours of fasting. My goal is to be able to water fast for 72 hours weekly by using this sardine challenge as stepping stones toward that goal. I hope this learned habit will eventually lower or even reverse my insulin resistance & pre-diabetic condition if consistently done.
It will
Sounds quite ridiculous to aspire a weekly 72 hour fast. I'm convinced that fasting is great, but this seems very very far fetched to me
😊🎉 it will work 😊
@jamesedwardchan do you prepare the sardines in any way or eat them out of the tin?
@@nickpotter501 I eat them out of the can.
I take statins and get dry eyes. I have been eating sardines and my eyes are no longer dry. I eat sardines, kimchee and rice. Thanks for your help and channel
Do your research - taper off slowly if you ever quit them.
Thanks for the feedback! I had terrible dry eyes and they gradually have improved thanks to increased sardines intake. I just didn’t realize that dry eyes had improved until I read your post.
Congrats and thanks!
If you’re constipated on this fast, try taking magnesium citrate, about 400mg.
Good morning doctor, my name is Pietro, a simple pensioner passionate about medicine and its most "useful" and non-medical discoveries. I am Italian from the Marche region, I have been following it for some time because I also surf the web to follow prolonged fasting after having met the good compatriot gerontologist/biologist Valter Longo about ten years ago and having studied the fascinating discovery of Nobel Prize winner Yoshinori Ōsumi on autophagy of yeasts also applied positively to animals, where significant correlations were found between defects in the autophagy process and type II diabetes, cancer and some disorders that usually appear with advanced age such as Alzheimer's disease and Parkinson's disease. I therefore wanted to thank you for your beautiful, passionate scientific work and for your kindness which never hurts... See you again and good work.
Dr Boz, would be very, very helpful to know if the lady was eating sardines in water, sardines in oil, sardines in mustard, etc? Also, was she focused on a specific brand,? Many thanks for your teaching!
I eat sardines in water and added 2 tablespoons of either MCT oil or olive oil per can. 4 cans a day

Probably negligible but don't get concerned with semantics. I'm here for the fish 🐟 😅😂
In the old days arsenic was used as a pesticide on cotton crops and rice grown on those fields absorbs it from the soul.
Yes there are high levels of arsenic in baby food that contains rice. 😢
@@kellyglennie
Fruits & vegetables have arsenic as well
@@kellyglennie Why feed a baby that toxic crap anyway. Babies can be carnivores too.
Eating sardines didn’t have any effect on me. But I only did it for a few months following 3 days rolling fast. Lost about 70 pounds!
Did you only eat sardines in between the rolling 3 day fasts? And how much did you eat
@@socol76 I did the 3 days fasting with only water, plain coffee, plain tea, and MCT oil. Lost the weight, then tried sardines diet to maintain weight.
Kick ass
glad to see your still on the channel !! ❤
i had only seen old videos until now !
Thanks for sharing this valuable information! 🎉
2nd day of my week long sardine fast.. first one, so far so good! I find it isn’t bad with a teaspoon of apple cider vinegar, pepper, and Himalayan salt. Oh and I add 2 tablespoons melted butter bc the ones I have are in water.
2 days down… staying positive!!😊 I’ve already lost 4 lbs in a day and a half!
Be careful with the pepper. Lots and lots of oxylates. If you’ve ever had kidney stones or depression you might want to avoid. I just don’t feel as good with pepper. If your diet is normally full of oxylates (spinach, greens and nuts) then no biggie.
I am on 3rd day of sardines. So far, all as advertised.....lost 5 pounds.....measure BOZ ratio every day....going to correct direction. Compared to water fast....sardines fast is much easier.
P.S. I'm a food addict
I agree completely with you. I’ve done 72 hour water fast and got great results but I was miserable. When I eat sardines, I don’t get hungry. I feel satisfied and my numbers are just as good as the water fast.
We're all food addicts. It's the additives in the processed foods (i.e., sugar, salt, and others we can't even pronounce) that are most likely causing it.
Thanks for the video! I am recovering from a heart ablation procedure (yesterday) and thank God things went well! I plan on using a sardine diet to speed up recovery. Good to see her results on arsenic, very reassuring. If there's better ways to "hack" my recovery let me know...

What is her name? Does she have a channel, or place where she has documented the 90 days? Did she eat a specific brand of sardines? if so, which one? Did she mix with other ingredients occassionally? We want answers!! :)
The same questions are running through my mind.
First of all, not all sardines are created equal. Unfortunately, there are three or four major brands that harvest their sardines from the Baltic Sea, which is known to be quite polluted. It wouldn't surprise me one bit if they had high levels of arsenic and other pollutants.
I would suggest sardine consumers do their homework before choosing a brand. I prefer pilchards harvested from the Atlantic, off of Portugal or Morroco.
Dr Boz, would you please address xanthelasma. Are other carnivores experiencing the cholesterol sacs in the face? What can I do to stop this? Thank you. Love sardines!
What are these cholesterol sacs you speak of? Where on the face are they located? I have puffiness under my right eye, down below the orbit of the eye.
@@natashamudford4011 maybe skin tags?
@@natashamudford4011 Search Xanthelasma and you will see.
Dr. Boz mentioned concerns about arsenic in sardines, but it's important to note that most arsenic in seafood is organic, which is generally non-toxic. Inorganic arsenic is the harmful form, but sardines are low in it. Regularly eating sardines from trusted sources remains safe and provides many health benefits. Misinformation about arsenic can cause unnecessary fear-balance is key.
Sardines are very small and young fish. They have been proven to be very safe to eat, super healthy and affordable. I eat 2-3 cans a week and I pay a little more for the really good kind (Portuguese olive oil and Portuguese tomato sauce). As long as the fish you are eating are either very small or very thin (not big fish like Tuna), you are safe from arsenic.
Where do you find the Portuguese olive oil brand?
@@indranidasgupta8982 local walmart has them
Safe Catch test all of their fish for mercury. The founder of the company was mercury poisoned once and she created this company, or so I was told. I buy all of my canned fish from them. The trout is really good. No skin or bones though.
Great to hear all this info.👍
BTW, I LOVE your hair like that! So very cute!!
For 7 years, I've been eating one can of sardines daily
What do you notice about that way of eating just one can a day?
What brand?
Arsenic can be detoxed. I think vitamin B1 is for arsenic detox - also B6 and C.
So eating sardines increased her vitamin D naturally without taking a vitamin D3 supplement? If I understood that correctly that is amazing and much better than having to worry about buying supplements. Thank you for reading.
You understood that correctly. I stopped my Vit D supplements when I started the Sardine experiment
It’s the bones. Chockfull of Vitamin D.
Yes, because your fat cells also release stored nutrients, which include vitamin D, when you keep your insulin low and lose weight. Sardines are also very nutrient dense.
Thank you, to both of you for all the info, I was very curious about the effects.
Excellent results on the 90 days!
Kindly share what brand of sardines she was eating!😊😊😊
Any concerns regarding the high levels of purines?
I’m more interested in how she was able to get variety in her consumption of sardines for that many days. That’s the deal for me. I did the sardine 72 hour elimination diet but it was so challenging. I love fish but sardines are a stretch for my palette.
Can you do a show on transitioning from a carnivore diet to keto?
Easy. You’re already in a keto diet. Just be sure you’re getting enough fat. Add fat to lean meat. If you’re eating Chuck - eat the fat with the meat. I use a slow cooker and then pour the whole think into a Pyrex casserole dish and cool it. Cut it up like meat pie. The white fat is a zero carb good snack if you are starving. MCT oil can be added to boost ketones. Butter in your coffee. Basically add more fat until your poo gets too soft. Then back off a bit. Your fat threshold can be built up over time. Ketones will go up with more dietary fat and especially mct (skips the digestive system and goes straight to blood to liver).
Thanks Dr Boz, I just received my Keto-Mojo Kit today!
Good luck figuring it out. I was unable to figure out how to use it again. The print is so small I can't read any of it. So I can't figure out to erase the last one I did.
Did she do vitamin or mineral supplements and/or electrolytes .... But that's a question I have for the standard Carnivore diet in general
Thank you Dr Boz ♥️
Thank to you Dr. Boz, I love sardines! I do sardine fasts every month now.
You look absolutely adorable!
I did the sardine challenge without a tribe. It was hard for me.
My physician rather prescribe pills.
Great subject. Also love the dress.
I did sardines in the beginning. I am fixing to do it again. My experience is typical of what you describe with other people doing this. My blood sugars dropped pretty quickly and the ketones rose as quickly. I am stubborn, so I did this alone, lol.
Tried the sardine fast for 4 days and i loved the feeling! Getting a lot more this weekend and i am doing it for a month to see what happens.
It's been 2 weeks, are you still on it? I did 4 days last week and back on it since Monday and losing again, finally!!! Also I read the Omega-3s thicken hair shafts!!
I was eating 1-2 cans per day and sure enough I had elevated levels of arsenic. The accepted level is 1-9 units, mine was 20 units. Now cut back to two cans per week. Miss my sardines!
Try salted anchovies, whole, bones n all. They have more omega 3 than sardines.
Just finding your UA-cam channel. I am definitely insulin resistant (Age 62, 12 yrs overweight, BMI is 32, A1C is 5.6-5.8 steady for 6 years) I fought breast cancer this year (HR+, HER2-) and doing well. I am taking Anastrozole and I hate what it is doing to my body. I would love to start the Sardine fast and help my body fight the resistance and become healthier. Do you recommend starting the Sardine fast? Because the cancer is hormone driven - I was told to limit my intake of meats, due to the extra hormones.
Great job on the Omega 3 Index!!!! Your baseline is really good to start with! Most are in the 4% range. My N=2 experiment showed without any doubt, fish and or suppliments are required on a regular weekly basis in a carnivore diet to have optimum values.
The triglyerides look a little high and I wonder if it was the MCT oil doing that??? Mine went up and the only things that I changed was adding heavy cream, coffee and MCT. So I eliminated the heavy cream and MCT during this next test period.
Currently in a butter fast. Several influencers talking about it recently, so thought I would give it a try! Will post data on it when completed!
Thank you both for this data. Love the N=1 experiments. Dr Boz, do you have a video on why you use your own glucose/ketone formula instead of the standard GKI?
That was good info.8 also 70 have been carnivore almost 1 year lost 16lbs and many inches but have stalled. Sardines start tomorrow.
Best brand of sardines?
Calvo Spanish sardines in olive oil are the best I have tried
Arsenic was a common wood preservative in telephone poles and other outdoor wood. , even docks. So water can become contaminated, etc.
One thing that needs to be considered when eating sardines especially at these amounts is purines, sardines have high amounts of purines from which the body creates uric acid. If you suffer from arthritis or the gout, might want to avoid eating this food in large quantities.

Hi Dr. Boz, I've been eating at least 3 cans of sardines a week and sometimes more. Sometimes I am good and eat it with just veggies, but my favorite way to eat it with grated daikon radish, miso soup, veggies, and Japanese pickled vegetables or plum. I heard some murmurings of the sardine challenge, so found this video very interesting. I think that I could do it, but I want to know how your husband put up with your fishy breath. My partner always can detect my sardine breath no matter how much time I spend cleaning my teeth, gums and tongue, using a nonalcoholic mouthwash, using xylitol gum, etc. Any suggestions for fishy breath?
I have been inspired to try the Sardine challenge again. I have been on and off Keto for several months. I have no support group nor know who in my area can help me.
I have party crashers trying sabotage me and they don't even know it.
It's there a support group in Texas?
I only need 1-2 cans a day. Add a good mayo and pickles(cheating but it works for me) and dip in pork rinds. Can't eat alone.. 😊
Make your own Mayo so it doesn’t have soybean oil. Soybean oil is the worst and most inflammatory seed oil.
@BeefNEggs057 there are 2 brands that use only avacado oil
So where does the arsenic poisoning come from ?
I did the 3 day sardine fast. I am soooo glad I did it alone. I didn't tell anyone until it was over. The tribe thing only works for lemmings.
Baaaahhhh 😂. People don’t get obese alone. Why not get lean in a group if that’s what they want. You do you man (obviously).

@@thesilber1 Thank you.
If you 'measure' Ketones you will constantly struggle. It's ok at first but then your body adapts and the measuring becomes less reliable as you go along, for that reason. Plus, ALL methods of measurement are at best unreliable. It won't mean you are not achieving your goal. Constantly measuring is as much folly as obsessively counting calories was and is. Eat foods you know to be keto friendly and keep to reasonable portion sizes and you will be ok and you won't be worrying about every mouthful of foods you eat not 'adding up' Doing that is putting you in a very counter productive place generally and is not healthy.
By the way, I have been very successfully keto dieting for many years. This kind of stuff reminds me of when I had my first baby forty two years ago. I read in a book that you should breast feed your baby for so many minutes each side. 🙄 The Midwife arrived and I was feeding the baby with a little clock on the table in front of me 😂
She looked and said "and you can get rid of THAT right away!" She did me a HUGE favour! 😊
My BMI is 22. I eat 1/2 can of sardines twice per month for years. Yesterday I ate a whole can for breakfast. I felt queasy. I did eat less food the rest of day. I will try again today. 1/2 can, then wait a few hours to finish it. No seed oils.
