Sardines are one of the most nutrient-dense foods on planet Earth! At less than $2.00 per can, you can’t beat this cheap superfood. A clinical trial out of Barcelona showed a significantly decreased risk of diabetes in people who added 2 cans of sardines to their diet per week. With such promising results, what would happen if you ate 3 cans of sardines per day for 5 days? Sardines contain high-quality protein, EPA, DHA, calcium, vitamins D and B12, selenium, phosphorus, and taurine. Three cans of sardines per day provide 2700 mg of omega-3 fatty acids! Omega-3 fatty acids contain resolvins that turn off inflammation, especially in high doses. After a sardine fast, you’ll notice weight loss, improved mood, decreased hunger and cravings, improved thyroid function, flexible joints, better sleep, and more.

It makes sense that this diet helps your brain since sardines live in schools

My husband has eaten sardines for his 70 years. Was daily in his young adult years as they were cheap. Now he eats them at least a few times per week with cut up veggies, a few garlic clove on the side. He tops it with high quality olive oil. He’s lean, muscular and does lots of yard work. We hike and walk a lot. Great diet!!!

My graduate school thesis advisor ate a can of sardines everyday for lunch. This man graduated magna cum laude from Penn State at age 19. Yes, GRADUATED at 19. He earned a double masters, a PhD, taught for over 75 years, and walked to and from work everyday in NYC. He never officially retired. This winter was his last. He and his wife of 78 years, died within 3 months of each other. He was 99. He swore by sardines.

Dr. Berg, I just finished 5 day Sardine Fast at 68 year old who is active cycling/running but was stuck at the same weight for 15+ years. I am 6'4" at 252.2 lbs. My weight this morning after day 5 was 237.8 lbs. I lost 14.4 lbs in 5 days. I haven't seen my weight this low for a very long time late 40s. Thank you so much. I plan on doing two 24 hr fasts each month from now on. A much healthier husband/father/grandfather. Tom

Today is day 5, and omg ... I can't believe how much inflammation and joint pain subsided in my body. I lost two scale pounds but my clothes are really loose. I started walking on last Saturday, started 72-hour fast on Monday, extended for 2 days. I can't believe how strong my body feels. Almost too much energy. I went and bought food for convoir lifestyle. I tried juicing and fruits/vegetables but my stomach stayed blocked. Not to mention, I craved snacks. I haven't had any craving for sweets or snacks.
