I recently completed a 14-day sardine fast, spanning from the end of December through mid-January—the longest sardine fast I’ve done to date. In today’s video, I’ll be sharing all the details, including the specific sardines I ate, my updated bloodwork results, an arsenic test to check for any potential heavy metal exposure, and my latest DEXA scan to assess changes in body composition.

This time around, I decided to experiment a little by incorporating some simple sardine recipes instead of just eating them straight from the can. I also included small amounts of other seafood to see if expanding my choices would yield similar benefits compared to a strict sardine-only fast. I’ll be breaking down my experience, any notable effects on my health markers, and whether this modified approach was just as effective—or possibly even better—than a strict sardine fast.
