Day 10 of the Bone Broth Diet – Day of Fasting. Plus 10 Way to Keep Your Mind Off of Food
How to Keep Your Mind Off of Food When You’re Fasting. Well today is Day 10 of the Bone Broth Diet – and seeing I had a lot planned for today and would be busy “doing” all day, I decided this would be the perfect day to fast. The broth schedule for today was pretty simple – drink a cup of warm chicken bone broth upon waking, a cup for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, and then one cup of warm broth as a snack – a total of 5 cups for the day. This turned out to be pretty easy as I didn’t get any headaches telling me I was hungry PLUS I WAS BUSY ALL DAY.
And this brings me to my posting on How to Keep Your Mind Off of Food When You’re Fasting. Fasting is a pretty simple thing to do when you’ve got a full schedule, but what if you don’t? Well I’ve got 10 ideas (see below) on how you can easily get through a day of fasting. Just implement one or a couple and see how quickly the day will pass.
But before I get to that, here is what was on the menu for today – day 10. Looks pretty exciting huh? Well not really, but the end result after this 21 Day Bone Broth Diet is what keeps me going. So yeah, it is what it is. Good luck to you all

How to Keep Your Mind Off of Food When You’re Fasting
Managing thoughts about food during fasting can be challenging, Try implementing these approaches and see if they can help manage your thoughts about food during fasting your periods.
1 – Stay Hydrated: Drinking plenty of water can help stave off hunger during fasting periods.
2 – Engage in Activities: Engaging in activities can distract your mind from hunger. Consider taking a walk, reading, or pursuing a hobby to keep occupied. Physical activity can serve as a distraction and may help reduce hunger sensations.
3 – Practice Mindfulness: Techniques such as meditation can help manage cravings by promoting awareness and control over your thoughts.
4 – Avoid Food Triggers: Limit exposure to food-related cues, such as cooking shows or social media posts about food, to reduce temptation.
5 – Plan Ahead: Before starting your fast, decide on its duration and prepare for it mentally. Setting clear goals can strengthen your resolve.
6 – Consume Apple Cider Vinegar: Drinking 1-2 teaspoons of apple cider vinegar can reduce appetite during fasting.
7 – Drink a Warm Cup of Bone Broth: Sipping on a warm cup of bone broth can help curb hunger and keep you hydrated. It’s allowed even if you’re on the bone broth diet.
8 – Start with Small Goals: Begin your fasting journey with small goals to gradually adapt and manage hunger better.
9 – Increase Protein Intake: Consuming more protein during non-fasting periods can help you feel full longer, reducing hunger during fasting.
10 – Focus on Fiber-Rich Foods: Eating fiber-rich foods can promote satiety and help manage hunger during fasting.
So Day 10 of the Bone Broth Diet, my day of fasting, is now complete. So far so good with no food cravings along with no headaches or feelings of being hungry. All in all this is appearing to be pretty easy. Let’s see what tomorrow brings with day 11 when I get to eat solid foods again. See you then.
