So after drinking pruvit for the last 26 months, I have done no less then 12 reboots since I started. There are a lot of science that went into this but I will not be too technical about it cos we just want to know what it is, how it works and what to expect right?????
I am not a doctor and neither am I a reboot coach, YET, but I will use what I understand so far and using the most laymen term to attempt to explain what it is. Keyword is ATTEMPT cos there are just so much science in this!
So here is my simplified and very “Samantha” version of that is this Pruvit reboot system all about!
So what is this Pruvit Ketones reboot system?
I think the best is to think of it this way. When you first get your new phone of laptop, we expect it to run flawlessly right? But when your laptop or phone gets older, it tends to slow down, it might be due to inefficient use of space and memory, it might also be due to viruses or just too much spam apps or junk we just don’t use anymore.
So what do you do when that happens? That’s right, you do a reboot to factory setting!
That’s the concept of the 60hr reboot but with the body!
IT comes in a box that looks like this. In short, for the next 60 hours, you just consume only the stuff in this box. It is what I call an assisted fast. There are full instructions to prompt you to consume something from the pack every 4 hours or so (even though I always either miss the time or combine some of the packets together haha.. I don’t have a fixed working hour as you know)
Why is it so powerful and when should I do a reboot?
This is super powerful for people who feel like they need a little push or if they feel like they have been stuck for a while. I actually have a few customers who are on a traditional keto diet but they join us on this monthly reboot to get their body into a deeper state of ketosis and ketogenesis. Click here (Post coming soon) to find out what is the difference
Another reason it is so powerful is the advantages of prolong fasting. You can read more about the sciency parts from here and here.
In short, this reboot helps you to prime your body metabolism to start burning existing fat for fuel. It also helps with appetite and craving control.
A lot of people are worried about muscle mass when doing a fast. That’s why a ketones assisted fast is so amazing, it helps to protect and maintains lean muscle mass.
And my favourite benefit is that it aids in cellular detoxification. That means better skin, nails and hair.
What to expect on a 60 hour reboot?
Will you DIE?!?!
Haha I didn’t die.
Remember that it is always your call of how long you want to keep it up. 60 hours is perfect cos I feel that it reaps the best benefits in that amount of time. This is not time to be a typical Singaporean thinking the longer the better ah!! No one keeps the scores (I think). The benefits of the fast to me is not worth the struggle after 60 hours I feel. But I do know of friends who go on till 72 or 88 hours, HUAT AH!!
There is always support given especially if you are in our community cos we have about 60 to 80 people who do reboot the same time monthly. Yes there is support in the official Pruvit reboot page here but due to Singapore and US time difference, we start 12 hours before them.
But what is the difference between this fast and eg, water fast?
Ketones acts as fuel for your body. The biggest difference to me is that my body goes into glucose emptying mode and not fuel starvation mode. Just drinking ketones kicks my body into a state of ketosis so there is no down time waiting for that to happen. So bye bye to all the glucose storage and hello fat burning.
Last, tips to survive the reboot
Prep before you start!
In the few days leading up to the reboot, do try to keep on a keto friendly diet. We have tried to load up on our fav carbs before (since going to reboot so why not mentality) and deeply regret on the first day, with our reboot ending in failure.. TWICE!
Dont trust your farts
Really. Just don’t. High chance it is not a fart. ha.. ha.. haaa..
Find someone to be accountable to!
Be it a group of a friend who will urge you on and not pull you down! I’ve heard of husbands taunting their wives with cakes when they are on the reboot.. WHYyyy…. 🙁
Keep away from parties and dinner dates!
Don’t make it harder than it already is. It’s only 2 days. So plan ahead! Also, stay away from food channels and Instagram if you are like me who follow a lot of people who love to bake.
Keep hydrated and keep electrolytes handy!
You will be losing A LOT of water in the fast as well as electrolytes. If you don’t have Mitoplex on hand, keep some pink salt on hand. Read about electrolyte imbalance here!
Keep busy!
Your brain will be going into overdrive so make good use of it! Also by keeping busy, the chances of you feeling hungry are lower. Some people swear by super-efficient house packing.
Keep moving!
Help your body burn through those glycogen stores faster so it starts reaching for the fatttt… burnnn!
Take it only as far as your body allows you to.
Listen to your body!!! Be it 24 hours, 36 hours, 48 hours, or 60 hours. A Reboot is not a once in a lifetime event so don’t treat it like it needed to be perfect. But do challenge your personal best. If this reboot you did 40hrs, congratulate yourself and plan for the next one
Stop comparing.
Not with others and not with yourself. Everyone’s bodies are different, and the state of your own body might be different from month to month. So stop comparing! Some reboots are a breeze for me and some reboots feel like crap. So go with the flow
How you break fast is important
Don’t waste all the work you have done. The effects of reboot last longer then the 60 hours. Basically it prolongs till you eat your carb meal. So work with your referral and they will walk with you through the breaking fast!
So that’s all I have today and hope that helped somewhat!! Jia you and crush that reboot!!!

Love, Samantha
And may the reboot be always in your favor
