"I don't know if you've seen this online, but it's called the seven-day water fast.
"Doctors have done studies on this and this thing is legit. It gives you an over 70 per cent chance of not getting cancer and other nasty diseases.
"Basically, you drink water for 72 hours. So, the first 24 hours, you drink water, and you can use that [electrolytes] in your water.
"Then, the next day, this is the cleanest [bone] broth that you can buy. This thing only has 45 calories, less than one gram of carbs, and it has like 13 grams of protein.
"So, all it really has is protein and 45 calories. That is the cleanest broth out available; chefs will tell you that. It's Gary Brecka-approved. You can pick this up anywhere.
"You do this twice a day for the next two days. You drink all your water with electrolytes, but you could do the broth twice a day, bone broth – the bone broth, twice a day for the next two days.
"You're gonna feel incredible. And obviously, you're doing it for the internal, but externally, you get absolutely shredded on this thing."
