72 Hour Sardine Challenge | What Happened When I Took the Dr. Boz Sardine Challenge?

Trying to break my sugar addiction. Eaten 6 tins today. Every time I feel a sugar craving I eat a tin.

I happen to love sardines. Ironically my love of sardines started when I was pregnant with my 27 Year old daughter. I loved them with pinto beans and ate them two or times a week. My daughter was reading books at three. Knew her ABCs before two. Her nickname in highschool was the walking dictionary, and she got the highest academic scholarship offer from a top university and graduated on the Dean's list with two degrees. Me I barely graduated from high school with a gpa of two or less. Her dad's not that bright either. I've always wondered how she got so smart because I sometimes needs a dictionary to talk to her, maybe it was the sardines 🤔

I’ve struggled for the last year getting into ketosis. 12 hours on the sardine challenge, and my ketones we at .9. At 24 hours, they were 1.8!!! My fasting glucose was 81!!! Thank you for sharing this great boost that I really needed.

Thank You. I am a nurse. I can not express how thankful I am for you.

I went from never eating a sardine before to doing this 3-day challenge. My two big takeaways were: (1) I actually like sardines! (2) I was able to achieve a "high therapeutic" level of ketosis, according to my GKI. I will definitely be incorporating a 3-day sardine fast into my life on a regular basis....probably twice a month. 😀

Fresh sardines are even better than tinned ones. Here in England they are seasonal, caught off the coast of Cornwall and you can’t beat them! We cook them in an air fryer as that avoids the fishy smell when frying in a pan. Delicious with chopped coriander (cilantro) and lemon.

For anyone put off by sardines bc of fear of never having had them, I was that way too. I was surprised and relieved to know that they are very similar in taste to salmon!😃 (They do not taste like tuna)

You seem so real and down to earth. I appreciate that. These "20 something y.o. gurus" are not my cup of tea.

The bones in tinned sardines, pilchards and other tinned fish contains so much goodness (minerals and trace elements) that it is mad to buy boneless (or to pick out the bones, as some people do). The bones in tinned fish are soft and entirely edible. Same applies to the sardine skin to some extent.

When you get to the 36 hour fasting, you will be amazed when the arthritis pain just dissipates. Best of luck!

After a major body and brain injury..I refused to consume anything but water, black coffee and sardines...lololol.. After a few weeks I allowed blueberries, cranberry juice, full fat coconut milk .... I went solely on "cravings"... this went on for about a year...I honestly believe it contributed GREATLY to my survival and ultimate recovery

Just been diagnosed with 4th stage breast cancer. Starting this today and than 18/6 IF for 90 days. Will do the 3 day sardines once a month. Also taking vitemins and 1.5 ivermectin per day. Hope to be free of cancer after this.

Been eating Brunswick sardines for longer than I can remember and I'm 76. A friend's Mom worked there and took her to her work. All the workers wore Wellis. As the tide rose the water came up between the warehouse floor-boards and washed all the guts away.

Thanks for this and your other videos. I want to share my late grand dad's sardine dip. I still enjoy making it. Mix one block cream cheese, approx 8 Oz, add drained can sardines (sometimes I put in 2 cans), add approx teaspoon Dijon mustard and a few shakes of worcestershire sauce, mix and adjust seasonings. Enjoy!

Thirty years ago sardines were at the top of anti-aging lists. Now hardly anyone mentions sardines! They are excellent because of the Omega 3's. I knew of a man who went on a fish diet and he got rid of his arthritis. Apparently, if you have MS and go on a fish diet then your symptoms will disappear. The other thing I want to mention is chia seeds. They are also high in omega 3's. Excellent for health also. Best wishes to everyone here! May we all find our way to excellent health!

I am Egyptian. I was born in Alexandria. I was growing on eating Sardines for the most days of week. I am Sardine lover. I usually my Cardine canes on the stove using Olive oil and sometimes butter. I did that since i was kid. thank you forr your programme. Eat good, stay healty. thank you again.

Thanks for doing this! It is a bizarre thing for many - sardines only for three days…I have had the privilege of helping Dr Boz coach students enrolled in her 21 Day Metabolic Kick Course. Witnessing people go through this challenge, where their blood glucose and blood ketones change in amazing ways, is a humbling experience! Wishing you continued success!

I had a can of mackerel and a can of sardines together, crisped up in the pan. I washed the olive oil off and added butter and a little garlic salt. It was so good, I didn’t want it to be gone! My 72 hr. Will end tomorrow at 10 am. Ketones went from 0.4 to 0.5, and glucose from 104 to 87 (fasting). I’m probably gonna do this fast for 8 weeks, per Dr. Boz. Thank you Anita for your great videos. Your cooking demos are incredibly good. Thankful for you.

I'm with you, Anita. I'm 72 years old and suddenly noticed a skin thinning problem. I intend to do something about it! I got rid of the inflammation that caused the doctor to diagnose arthritis and the type 2 diabetes is in complete control. Now it's time to get my skin in shape. I've been doing sardines long enough to get to the point where I can stand them. So it's clear sailing ⛵️ from now on. I intend to do sardines for once a week, and the 72 hour challenge once a month 😊. Thanks for the inspiration 🙏 ❤❤🎉

Thank you Anita for sharing your journey with us! So much great information!
