Can I have HWC (Heavy Whipping Cream) while on the Egg Fast?
No. Nada. But yet, people will still go ahead and do it anyway. It’s a fast, you give things up when you are on a fast! But HWC seems to be one of those things that causes the most distress for people when they try to imagine life without it.
Even though it’s not a lifetime, it’s just a few days. Could there possibly be an addictive component at work here? Hmmm, just saying.
Part 2 of this question is Butter is made from cream, so they are the same thing and so why can’t I have it? No, they are not the same thing! When you make butter (try it in a jar), all that liquid that is left over once you finally have butter, is in fact buttermilk.
Don’t send me hate mail on this one, and hear this: You will not die if you spend a few days without heavy cream!
And this might help, I call it Egg Fast Coffee:
- Blend 1 tbsp coconut oil and 1 tbsp butter into your coffee (use a blender)
- Whip that thing up like a latte.
- Maybe add a little stevia, you will have a new friend and no dairy! Try it! 🙂

How to eat a healthy egg fast?
This will keep you full. Have an egg fast meal every 3-5 hours, even if you’re not hungry, and stop eating at least 3 hours before bed. Use seasonings, spices, and (sugar-free) condiments in small amounts. Keep them under 1 gram of net carbs per serving and up to 5g net carbs total per day.
What is chicken broth?
Chicken broth is made by boiling chicken bones or meat in which other ingredients such as herbs, spices and seasonings are added to enrich the taste. As the meat and bones of the chicken are boiled, nutrients from the bones and meat leak out into the water and this makes the broth itself nutritious.
Can you eat hard boiled eggs fast?
One of the simplest ways to follow the egg fast is by using hard-boiled eggs as the base of your meal. Drizzle with one tablespoon of olive oil or melted butter per egg and add salt to taste. You can also chop up the hard-boiled eggs to make an egg-fast-friendly egg salad.
Can I eat a 5 day fast after an egg fast?
