Forget about complex diets. There's a simpler way to boost your energy.
If you want to start feeling good, intermittent fasting can help you get there.
But what exactly is intermittent fasting?
Rather than a diet that has you following which foods you can and can’t eat, intermittent fasting is an eating pattern that cycles between periods of eating and refraining from eating. That’s what makes it so simple (and so popular).
Despite its recent popularity in many forms of diets, fasting has been around in many cultures since the 5th century BCE — and for good reason.
Not only does fasting make you feel better, it’s actually a more natural eating pattern than eating 3-4 meals every day. That’s because our bodies evolved to be able to function without sustenance for long periods of time.
So if you try refraining from eating for just 8 hours per day a few times a week, you’ll start to notice these 5 benefits:
1. Weight Loss
One of the easiest ways to gain weight is by consuming an excess amount of calories. Fasting can help keep those pesky calories off and burn even more in the process because your body will go into a state of "ketosis".
When that happens, ketones increase and become the main fuel source. Instead of burning carbohydrates like your body usually does when you’re constantly eating, it’ll start to burn fat.
2. Higher concentration and reduced brain fog
Do you sometimes get that hazy feeling as if there’s a cloud around your head? That’s a sign that you’ve got inflammation in the brain. But once your body goes into ketosis, you get a higher production of brain derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), which is a protein that improves memory and concentration.
Intermittent fasting also boosts the production of cellular mitochondria, the power source for the cells. In effect, that supercharges your brain and you can say buh-bye to the clouds looming around your head.
3. Improved gut health, digestion, and immune system
Constantly having to digest food is difficult. That’s why giving your gut a break can relieve upset stomach, bloating, heartburn, and other digestive issues. It also helps cleanse and reset gut balance — but only if you don’t end up overeating during your non-fasting window.
Within 24 hours, fasting can activate autophagy, a process in which your body cleans out older, damaged cells and replaces them with healthier cells. In essence, it’s a reset for your immune system.
“When you're not feeling great about having to do a cleanse, having something that tastes good really is motivating and helpful.”

4. Higher quality sleep
When you consume fewer calories, your insulin levels drop and your melatonin levels rise. You might've heard of melatonin and taken it as a sleep supplement without seeing much of an effect. But, when your body naturally starts to produce more of it, you’re more likely to see the benefits.
Along with steady hydration, a balanced supply of melatonin can help you fall asleep faster and reduce the number of times you wake up during the night.
5. Relief from joint issues
Ever feel like your knees are a design disaster? Or that many of your joints just don’t like to function without pain? That’s what happens when you eat too much (especially when you eat too much sugar and processed foods) — insulin levels go up and that means inflammation flares up too.
When you don’t eat for an extended period of time, your insulin level goes down and so does your inflammation, giving your joints, bones, tendons, and ligaments much-needed relief.
When you make intermittent fasting a regular thing and you’re not overconsuming when it comes time to that eating window, you’ll start to get these benefits and overall feel good.
That’s why many of our customers use Broya bone broth to break their fast.
Feel Full
The protein and nutrients in the broth help you feel satiated so you have an easier time fighting off cravings.
Stay in Ketosis
Because bone broth is low-carb and high-fat, it won’t push your body out of the state of ketosis (when you’re more likely to lose weight).
Support Digestion
With the high collagen content, your body will go through less stress because that protein is easy to digest

So...How Do I Use The Bone Broth To Fast?
There are a few ways you can go about intermittent fasting but let’s focus on the simplest method:
The 16/8 Method
This is when you restrict your daily eating period to 8 hours and fast for 16 hours.
Because it’s so simple, many people find that it’s the most sustainable and easiest to stick to — and that’s why it’s also the most popular. What’s even better is that you can count the 8 hours you’re sleeping as half of the 16 hours you’re fasting (if you want). So if you wake up at 7 am for example, that means you don’t eat until 3pm.
In that case, you’d drink half of a pouch a few hours before bedtime, wake up, refrain from eating, and then ease back into the day with half a pouch or a full one without eating anything else the rest of the day.
If you’re up for it, on your next fast, try going the second half of the day prior to your fasting day with only one pouch. Then, go to sleep, fast for 8 hours, and ease back into digestion with a pouch or so.

“I'm an ER physician, and I have been bringing 1+ of these to each of my shifts during this coronavirus pandemic.
I've felt healthier despite the challenges, mainly because I know that I'm intentionally nurturing myself with the highest quality broth. All delicious, sriracha is my personal favourite.
Highly recommended!”
Incredible Broth!
“Loved this duo of broth goodness! The rich flavors were incredible.
A definite winner in my books! Perfect for using in soup or delicious to drink straight to warm your soul. Wonderful as a sleep aid.
LOVE BROYA! 10 PLUS”
Amazing
“As someone who is practicing intermittent fasting for health reasons, this bone broth was what was missing from my daily diet. I had been using other broths but I had to force myself to drink them. These are beyond delicious. I opted for a subscription of 8 bottles each month and have been having to pace myself from not inhaling them too quickly. I'm already exploring the option of ordering more bottles.
Also, I have to note that the customer service has been incredibly personal and responsive. At first, Broya didn't ship to me in Canada as we're in the Northwest Territories and after letting them know, they opened up shipping to us!! If you have never tried bone broth and are curious about giving it a go for health benefits, this is the one! If you have tried it, this is far better tasting than any other broth I have ever tried.”
Loving it!
“Great taste and very easy to enjoy these sizes on a daily basis. Feeling great!”
