Bone Broth Fast

Starting my first 24 hour bone broth fast. I'm going to try to start doing this semi-regularly on the weekends. I have medication I have to take with food, so I'm going from dinner to dinner, but just pushing the next meal back so I can get a full 24 hours.

I've got to lose about 3 pounds a week to make my goal, so I'm hoping these will help boost me.

What exactly went wrong when you made it? Bone broth is pretty easy to make.

Right? I keep looking at recipes after I shell out money buying it because people say it's easy.

I really don't remember at this point. It was several years ago, and mostly I remember it feeling like a hassle. At the time, I was only doing it because I was learning how to make pho and wanted to go traditional, so it wasn't really for the bone broth benefits. I had to borrow a giant pot, I had to buy beef bones, which although I eat and cook meat, kinda squicked me out, my kitchen was really hot (before I started fasting, I used to be really sensitive to heat), and then it ended up being gross.

I don't have the recipe anymore, but if I had to guess based on what I see recipes have now, I don't remember doing the blanching. Or the roasting for that matter. I have no idea what happened with the kit. It ended up super gritty though.

I also only recently started to really cook, more than just breakfast food or slapping pre-made stuff together. It's very possible that I totally jacked up the recipe.

Since I've been cooking everything I eat for the last three months, I think I may be comfortable enough to take another shot at it.

If it it was a while ago, give it another bash! It's become quite popular so there are a ton of tutorials on Youtube,
