I grew up in the 60's when junk food was just becoming popular. My family raised our own animals for meat and always had a garden. We NEVER had sweets unless it was a birthday or Christmas celebration. Didn't have a cola until I was a teen. Needless to say my Mom and step dad raised a house full of healthy active children with excellent teeth. My Mom went through a round of depression and bought a huge box of sweetened cereal to make breakfast easier for her.. I will never forget my dad's reaction. He threw the box away and said, "You're going to give these kids diabetes and rotten teeth!" He stepped his game up and made sure we had plenty of quick and easy snacks and meals, all fresh from the garden and cases of sardines. I used to think my brothers and I were deprived and treated wrong for not being allowed to eat sugar and processed foods. Now I'm convinced I had the absolute best parents ever! I'm about to do the 72 hr sardine challenge in honor of my dad.

I live in Mediterranean and we can cook fresh sardines. All my ancestors lived past 100. My grandmother used to work until she was 98. They ate mainly fish (usually sardines) and a little of EVERYTHING else. A little meat, eggs, cheese, bread, olive oil. And they had good relationship with their community.

My cat ate almost only sardines in tomato sauce she became 24 years old. She "hunted" well into her 20s. Just the last weeks she rapidly descended into "old age" and went to cat heaven.

I completed the sardine challenge!! I did it!! 5 lbs down!

I just started the Sardine Fast today, I drained the oil (couldn't find them in water) then heated them up with butter. They tasted much better! I'm documenting my Carnivore journey on my YouTube channel, trying to lose 100 pounds, I'm 15 pounds down now! Can't wait to see the results from the Sardine Fast!

I had a doctor a long time ago who said i had high blood pressure. I was already on a pill for it, rather than up my dosage, he asked me what I ate at work, I was working for state parks at the time and was very active. I told him generally what I ate, which included canned tuna some times. After hearing that he told me to try sardines, at least once a day.

One month later he had me off my bp meds, and I even felt better in general. I try to eat at least 5 cans a week. I wish more people gave this a chance.

This may be the most important video health conscious people can watch. I've been eating sardines since 1962 but not for health reasons. My dad and I would carry them on fishing trips because there was no preparation involved and too much time and trouble to go back to shore and eat. I love em. Got a pantry full of them as I write this. I like all flavors too. Sardines and Herring. I lived on sardines, freshwater fish, beans, coffee and ice tea and never had a weight problem, always underweight but all muscle because I did hard physical labor most of my life. Poor person and could not afford snacks, carbs and sweets. I'm 69 now and since I've retired my weight and cholesterol has been rising because I just sit here and watch your videos. Lol! Also because all my snacks are within arms distance of my computer. Prosperity is killing me. Jesus fed fish to the multitudes. That's good enough proof for me.

I just finished a 3 day sardine fast, ate nothing but 3 cans in the morning, and 3 cans in the afternoon. My weight went from 228 to 223. Thank you Dr.Boz!

Since I’m prepping for a huge economic collapse, I already have a shelf full of sardines in olive oil. I may give this a go.

[upinsmoke]

Did the sardine fast and the results were great. Lost 7lbs.. I lost over 45lbs in 5 months. Went from 245lbs to 198lbs. Goal weight of 180. Ill be there soon. Thanks Dr

[bbldb]

Yep I just did it this week and really had nice results. 1-I’m calm 2- less inflammation 3- 2 comfortable bowel movements. 3 never was hungry or feeling stuffy. ps. Bile is a project I always work on and I’m going to eat sardines at least a few days a month. At 76 I love getting better.

[ChristineWilliams-idow]

When sardines are the only thing on the menu, you start to realize how hungry you really aren't 😂 You've inspired me to make it past 48 sardine only hours Dr Boz, just 24 hours & 1 more can to go!❤

I have been on keto for 55 days. I finished my 90 hour sardine fast yesterday. By chance i gave a blood sample just 10 minutes before the last can. and saw the result. My fasting insulin was around 14 before and now is 4.3, also fasting glucose from 95 to 73, triglycerides from 160 to 124, hdl from 39 to 42. HA1C from 5.6 to 4.8. Keto is going super. But also my total cholesterol and ldl is like a rocket. 311 and 244 respectively. Dr. Boz thank u for touching my life. Greetings from Turkey.

I'm on my last day of 1 week my sardine fast. I only ate 2 cans the first day feeling really hungry but after that just 1 can a day feeling fine along with drinkingmy electrolytes. I've lost 9 1/2 lbs so far! I feel great! Thank you Dr. Boz!

I went to Europe with my back pack full of sardine cans and did eat only that and water for 15 days, and saved lots of $$$ in foods. That happened before Annette.

[jimlambrick]

I'm 76 year old man in Canada and have always eaten sardines regularly. Literally never get sick. And a couple of interesting unknown facts re sardines. The German army relied heavily on sardines ... called sprats in Europe... as a staple of their rations because of the high food value in a small easy to transport package/tin. And currently consumers may have noticed that sardines have not had the dramatic food price increase of other foods in the last year or so. That is because the large ocean fish... that lived on sardines... have been heavily overfished, especially by China, with the result sardine stocks have never been higher, hence the lower prices. So not only good for you but cheap.

You can buy bags of dried anchovies (just tiny fish like sardines used to make fish soup stock) in Asian stores. Add a little melted coconut oil, mix to coat, and bake until they turn a little brown. Sprinkle with salt. This is a great crunchy snack.

Started Friday morning 8/30. I’ll report on Monday at the results, after 72 hours. Hallucinations of ice cream and black licorice immediately, but surprisingly no convulsions yet!
Week earlier, 8/23 had sardines at lunch. Did 30 sprints that morning. After lunch had hour nap. Did another 30 after nap. Then did 40 that night after regular dinner. So was a day of record day of 100 sprints. Thought of doing more but 100 was enough. Age 69, went to sleep at 12:30 am. on 8/24. Wide awake at 2:30 am. I wondered sardines? Hmmm. Yesterday, 30 sprints in morning, record 42 last nite. 100 yarders. Now 4 hours sleep, wide awake. Energy to burn it seems. Another 30 sprints in 3 hours. Like I told the wife, I don’t eat at Paula Deans, I eat at Sar Dines! We chuckled. Btw, I don’t have a MD., I don’t even know one. See a chiro once a month for adjustment. Started 8/30 at 177.0 lbs. 12th grade weight was 185 in 1972.

Mix sardines with eggs, sour cream, and a little salt and pepper. It’s really just the traditional type tuna salad but with sour cream instead of mayo, and sardines. Its a great snack and I would recommend mixing in the eggs scrambled instead of boiled; changes texture for the better. 👍❤️

In setting up for a 72 hour sardine challenge, I tried a sardine meal just to gauge if I could do it. Not only was it delicious, but it gave me the weirdest sense of happiness and joy. Mild sensation but definitely noticeable. I realize this is anecdotal and probably psychological, but it was a happy rush. I'm definitely doing the 72 hour challenge but, even afterwards, cans of sardines will no longer gather dust in my pantry.
