What Is the Bone Broth Diet?
The bone broth diet is a 21-day program created by Dr. Kellyann Petrucci that combines three powerful elements: collagen-rich bone broth, intermittent fasting, and anti-inflammatory whole foods. For five days each week, you eat from Dr. Kellyann's approved "Yes foods" list while drinking 1-2 cups of bone broth daily. Two non-consecutive days per week, you do mini-fasts where you consume only bone broth (up to 4 cups) along with water and herbal tea. This approach helps your body burn fat, heal your gut, reduce inflammation, and support younger-looking skin.
The 3 Pillars of The Bone Broth Diet
Intermittent Fasting
This is a cornerstone of my plan because research shows it's an incredibly powerful way to keep unwanted weight off.
Bone Broth
An incredible superfood, bone broth is an essential protein that plays a vital role in your health and appearance and makes mini-fasting a breeze.
Anti-Inflammation
Discover the foods that fight the hidden causes of many diseases, like diabetes, obesity, cancer, and heart disease.

Why Bone Broth? Health Benefits and More
The health benefits of bone broth are all due to the nature of the cooking process. A high-quality bone broth should slow-cook grass-fed animal bones for six hours or more. When the bones simmer, the connective tissues and marrow inside release a steady supply of nutrients.
Bone broth is packed with many essential nutrients, like collagen — plus, it's low in calories, sugar, and carbohydrates.
Incorporating nourishing bone broth into your daily routine can also help you on your weight loss journey. The added protein can help to keep you feeling fuller for longer in between meals and can support and sustain muscle mass.
Drinking bone broth everyday can add up to 32 grams of protein to your diet.
The nutrients found in bone broth can include:
- Collagen
- Amino acids (Glutamine, glycine, proline)
- Vitamin A
- Vitamin K
- Iron
- Calcium
- Phosphorus
- Magnesium
- Potassium
When the collagen in the bones is cooked, it turns into gelatin. When that gelatin is broken down in our digestive systems, it takes the form of amino acids, which our bodies can then use to make more protein.
The amino acid glycine, which is found in bone broth, has many important jobs. It helps the body produce joint cartilage, which can support joint health.
Glycine can also support sleep by regulating body temperature and promoting serotonin production, which has a direct impact on the body’s melatonin synthesis.
Glutamine, glycine, and proline are three amino acids found in bone broth that can support your gut health. These amino acids can help support your gut microbiome and your intestinal lining, which can all help make digestion easier on your system.
As a naturopathic physician and weight-loss specialist, Dr. Kellyann has helped thousands of patients achieve spectacular weight loss, improved health, and more youthful-looking skin through her bone broth diet plans, programs, and products.
Now, the book that started the original Bone Broth Revolution, Dr. Kellyann’s Bone Broth Diet, has been revised and updated with even more recipes, tools, tips and tricks to better help you unleash that healthier, happier, slimmer, younger-looking YOU.

Results That Speak For Themselves
Sara K.
I feel like I’ve really changed my life. I was very sick before I started this, and I knew I needed to do something that drastically would change me. Today, I went to the endocrinologist, and he completely took me off insulin and one of my diabetes meds. It’s healed me so much and it’s given me so much energy I’m having trouble sleeping, I’m so wired! I would recommend to anyone to at least give it a try.

I initially started this diet because I was having frequent breakouts of shingles… I’m not big on meds, so I tried to find other alternatives to resolve the issue. And this worked for me. Within the first 21 days, I haven’t had any breakouts, and I also lost the weight. The other day I actually paid attention—I’m like, “Oh, my skin, I really kind of have a glow,” like I did when I was pregnant. I lost 14 pounds and I think it was six inches around my waist.

This is something that can be part of a life change. I was pleased to see a drop in weight [11 pounds] as nothing else has worked in the past three years. Well worth the effort! Try it—you have nothing to lose but inches and weight.
