The 54-year-old claimed he feels "like a superhero" after the fast and even added the before-and-after photos of himself. He indicated that instead of the popular seven-day water fast, Brecka recommended the 86-hour water fast, which the biologist deemed safer.
Dana White explained that the majority of the fast comprises a diet of strictly of water and electrolytes. He noted that as per studies by doctors, the fast gives an individual an over 70 percent chance to avoid deadly diseases such as cancer, Alzheimer's, etc.
Nevertheless, in a follow-up tweet, White clarified that he wasn't a doctor and that people should seek professional medical advice before attempting the fast. Regardless, in his video, he asserted that in the fast's first 24 hours, one must only drink water -- with zero sugars/carbs/calories. White displayed the electrolytes and broth that he used during the fast and stated:
"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 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."
