Mike Ahmed on Fasting

I fast Monday and Tuesday for the following benefits:


  1. Helps detox my body
  2. Helps with insulin resistance which is a major disruptor in all kinds of health degradation including cancer
  3. Reduces overall inflammation in the body. Constant inflammation causes major diseases including cancer, diabetes, cardio etc.
  4. Has helped launched my intermittent fasting for good. I eat twice a day instead of three times a day. Also I have stopped eating snacks. Every time we eat  our pancreas produce insulin which is not good.


Here is the fasting recipe. I give Bob Rich all the credit for getting me started on this.


1 tablespoon of extra virgin (raw) coconut oil

¼ to ½ teaspoon of organic cayenne pepper

1 teaspoon green tea granules (I get it from Bob Rich)

½ cup whole milk (non-homogenized organic from grass fed cows). I buy it from whole foods. ‘Organic valley grassmilk’.

1 teaspoon of organic cinnamon (Ceylon cinnamon)

1 organic egg yolk ( from pasture raised chickens)


 Put the above in the blender along with 4 -6 oz. of brewed coffee (organic if available) 

Drink 6 to 8 glasses of water during the day. Eat a 6 hundred calories dinner in the evening. I eat a big salad with lots of leafy greens.  You can pick any two days in a row. I do it on Monday and Tuesday of every week.
