Can you believe it? We’re already on Day 6 of the 7 Day Beef and Butter Fast! If you’re still on the plan, congratulations—you’ve been marinating in discipline (and, likely, a lot of butter) for nearly a week now. Give yourself a pat on the back, or maybe an extra pat of butter on your next bite of perfectly seared ribeye. 🥩 You’ve committed to the week, and it’s almost over! 🙌🏻
When I first started this 7 Day Beef and Butter Fast Experiment, I thought Day 6 would look a lot more dramatic—like me, draped over the couch, whispering sweet nothings to a bowl of strawberries dramatic.
But honestly? It’s been surprisingly… not terrible!
Sure, I’ve had moments where I felt like my old cast iron skillet (seared, seasoned, and maybe a little burnt out), but overall, it’s been pretty smooth. There have been days where I’ve actually felt great, and the cravings have not been nearly as intense as I expected on this Beef & Butter fast.
There were also days that I was tired and mildly cranky, but since I expected that, I just rode it out, took some electrolytes, and it got better within a few hours.
And now here we are—the homestretch. The finish line is in sight, and whether you’re breezing through this Beef and Butter Fast or crawling forward with butter-slicked fingers, you’re almost there! 😅
This is the time to dig deep, stay focused, and keep the big picture in mind.
Think about why you started—was it to break a stall, reset cravings, or just try something new? Whatever your goals for this Beef and Butter Fast, take a moment to check in with yourself and celebrate how far you’ve come. 🥳
If you’re feeling a bit tired or over it, that’s okay too.
Use this final push to think about what comes next.
Maybe you’re planning to transition back to keto with a gentle reintroduction of veggies, or perhaps, like a lot of us in the Beef & Butter Facebook Group, you’re considering transitioning into Carnivore, or the 30 Day Squeaky Clean Keto Challenge (which will feel soooo luxurious compared to this!) ✨
Or just maybe, you are thriving on Beef and Butter and plan to keep it going for another week–or more! I’m kind of on board with this, but I may throw in an egg or two next week. I’m undecided right now, but will update you with my plans in our FB group when the time comes.
Whatever your next step is, just know that you’re building momentum right now—and that’s huge!
And hey, if you’re really struggling with beef and butter today, just remember: Monday you can eat something green again. And that’s worth holding on for! 🥗
Finish strong, friends! 💪🏼 I’ll see you on the other side of Day 7—where the butter is still flowing, but maybe with a side of broccoli this time.
We’ve got this! 🙌🏻
