What Breaks a Fast and What Does NOT Break a Fast - The Official Video - Thomas DeLauer
So many people have asked the awesome questions about specific foods breaking a fast or not breaking a fast, so I figured, what the heck, why don't I just lay it out for you. I'm going to list out foods that are fasting-safe, or should I say drinks, and things that are fasting-safe. But, then I'm going to list out things that are no-gos, things that will definitely break a fast. I'm going to give you a little bit of the science, too. Then I'm going to talk about the gray area. What I mean by gray area is there are going to be things that may or may not break a fast. It's still undecided. The jury is still out. I'll give you my honest opinion on it, so you can take it for what it's worth.
But first off, let's go ahead and let's talk about a couple of things that are good to go while you're fasting. First and foremost, we know that good, old-fashioned H2O is good to go. Unless you're doing a dry fast, water is not going to cause a problem. You're good to go. Kind of an obvious one. The next one I want to talk about, green tea. Very powerful, that epigallocatechin-3-gallate, that EGCG, is really powerful. Allows your body to mobilize fats quite a bit better, so it's a very good thing to be drinking while you're fasting. Then, we've got coffee, of course. Coffee will not break a fast as long as it's black. Totally good to go. Again, the caffeine mobilizing fatty acids. You're good there. It's going to help expedite the process of fasting. It's going to help expedite glycogen removal, or should I say, storage, that the carbs and the glycogen and the glucose isn't in your bloodstream anymore. It goes into the muscles. We definitely want that, so that's powerful.
Here's a kind of a weird one. It's going to be most teas, black, green, or whatever, but I have to say this now, certain herbal teas with fruit. You see some herbal teas out there, the have little chunks of apple, they have little chunks of berries that are dehydrated. You're getting the fructose from those fruits, so I would highly recommend staying away from those. That's a no-go.
So then, back to the fasting-safe, now we've got different sodas that I want to talk about. Zevia, for one, I've talked about this in a video. That's a soda that's sweetened with Stevia, so you're good to go there. And, as much as I hate to say this, I'm going to go on the record by saying I don't think that aspartame is good. I don't think it's healthy, but a lot of people ask. Diet Coke, diet sodas, you're going to be okay. Aspartame doesn't technically break a fast. So, you're okay there. I just don't think it's the best thing to do, but I know that a lot of you are wondering that, so I'm going to go ahead and say it.
When we look at any kind of carbonated beverage, you're usually good to go, so I'm just going to say carbonated water, carbonated H2O, sparkling beverages, things like that. People also always ask about vaping, because there's oil, and you're ingesting the vape. Does vaping break a fast? Generally, no. You're not swallowing the oil, you're inhaling it. What I will say is that vape, the nicotine that is usually in vape, just like smoking, affects your electron transport chain. It affects NADH. That's why you get a high from it. That's why you get a buzz. The jury is still a little bit out on whether not not nicotine technically would constitute breaking a fast, but for the sake of the metabolic function of a fast, you're okay.
I'm going to leave this here for now. There might be one or two more that I add, but I want to start going over the things that will break a fast. I already talked about herbal teas that have fruit in them. Now, the big one, guys. MCT oil and powder. I love that stuff and it's great for keto, but it does break a fast. There's still eight calories per gram. Unlike most fats that are nine calories per gram, MCTs only have eight. It's a little bit different. They still are digested. They still elicit a metabolic response. It's still food. It's still calories. If you have a couple of tablespoons of MCT oil, you're still looking at a couple hundred calories. That's definitely not fasting, okay? So, MCT oil does. So does coconut oil. Same kind of thing. You've got to be careful there.

@ThomasDeLauer Since I am only few months short from turning 50years old replaying your videos to understand the awesome science and common sense info on your videos over a month has improved body/mind health, energy and body shape. That being said a couple of questions: since I learned from your videos that is after 16 hours that fasting give over the top life-changing results and, also from your videos, you explain that instead of eating soon post workout you find that eating a while longer after physical exercise is the best, I am starting to workout at night to break my fast around 11am the next day; am I okay in following these methods? and last, if I understood one of your videos correctly before eating lunch with a little carb in it, you recommend to have a little bit of fat without carb so that the body re-start turning fat into energy rather than storing it, is that right? and with the bone broth alone am I getting that fat to break my fast with and a hour later then have the meal with some carbs in it; correct? I hope you don't mind me squeezing in like 3 questions in one comment.
What about Pickles?
What about l carnitine?????
Does “no sugar” energy drinks break a fast? Ultra Monsters, AlaniNu’s, etc?
Do I trust the guy who lost 100 lbs and is ripped af? Or do I trust the know-it-alls in the comment section? hmmm
Lol agree
Cory Cool Dangerous Agee
Comments for sure
Lol thats a damn good point!
🤔 hmm that’s a hard one lol
To answer your question: yes, eating dog does break a fast
Damn it 🤦🏾♀️
That god someone cleared that up for me he never touched on that at all!
Good old kagogi.
He does not say anything about eating the dog
Does melatonin break a fast ?
Finally, CBD oil and marijuana was mentioned in relation to fasting, thanks 🙏
So vaping marijuana won't break a fast?
Marijuana gives you the the munchies
Breakfast will break a fast.
andyottito1 no sh*t
Really fast 😋
andyottito1 Cause it's literally break-fast!
You idios, anyottito was just kidding around. Sheesh.
andyottito1 haha hence where the name came from
I think the dog on the right breaks a fast...
his right or the viewers right?! :D
I don't think it matters what dog you eat, they would both break a fast.
Depends on how fast the dogs are.
Blake Bauman it's cleary the one on the left!
😂😂😂
Could you please make a more in-depth video about which vitamins, minerals, and amino acids break a fast? Also, which ones would have to be taken during one's eating phase versus which ones are okay to take during one's fast?
Dr Berg said creamer, mct oil and bp coffee don’t break a fast.
Respect for not avoiding the sensitive subject of marijuana .
max hunter
I agree.
Now neuroscientist Tamas Horvath, of Yale University in New Haven, and colleagues report in Nature that nerve cells called pro-opiomelanocortin (POMC) neurons play a key role in this process. POMC had generally been thought to promote satiation, but Horvath's team found that POMC neurons in the brain release not just a hunger-suppressing hormone, but also one that promotes appetite.
Which hormone is secreted is regulated by a protein in the cells' mitochondria, structures that regulate energy levels. When the CB1 receptor is activated, this mitochondrial protein induces POMC to switch from secreting the substance that suppresses gorging to one that supresses it.
Both β-endorphin and α-MSH are in fact derived, via cleavage, from the same precursor protein-POMC, after which the neurons are named. For this reason, Horvath had suspected long ago that POMC neurons might both stimulate and suppress appetite. However, he dropped this early theory after an abundance of experimental evidence suggested otherwise. Indeed, even when β-endorphin itself is deleted from POMC neurons in mice, said Cone, you get “animals that are hyperphagic and obese.”
I think an argument can be made that, as long as one can overcome the munchies, smoking marijuana should actual help fasting. If your body is saying it is hungry then wouldn't it consume what is available?
max hunter not sensitive anymore, it’s 2018.
Vicious Cycle You'd be surprised.
Protein powder grey area? I think that was meant for No-Go.
Definetly! I think it was just a mistake he didn´t notice at the moment.
Protein will break Autophagy.
He did say they will definitely break the fast, but he mistakenly wrote it on the grey area group.
yea that definitely breaks a fast
he wouldnt fight about it just stay behind the screen
Lol what are you doing writing on Jeff Cavalier’s chalkboard? ❤️
Or the 300 lb friend that will tell me fasting is bad for me. And breakfast is the most important meal of the day 🤣😂🤣😂
Cool to see that Weedborn has new products.
Does gum break fast? Stevia sweetened?
What about meds? Like aspirin or antibiotics?
does breathing break a fast? answer fast pls, cant hold my breath much more
if you breath from your nose no but from the mouth yes
Millennial vs. The World What language is it you’re speaking there..? 🤨
😂😂
Wezz - He’s not speaking, he’s typing, but I’d wager the audio version isn’t much different from the texted version. Give him a break, that poor Millennial is versus the whole world and there appears to be a long line of complaints.
..only if you're breathing while standing next to a Cinnabon
Dr. Fung disagrees..... there’s 2 types of fasting (weight loss or autophagy) so....... you can do BPC IN MODERATION but for autophagy ZERO calories. This is because mct, coconut oil, HWC won’t cause a rise in insulin ....
Hi Karla do u know if aloe Vera gel breaks the fast?
@mehazad rahman what ?
@Karla Maria
There's calories in fat you are making me laugh
It will just a reduced or blunted respond. Its not true that insulin is at zero when fasting anyway. It's just reduced. Even if you have 30 calories or so you'll enter the fasting state pretty quick.
The mct powder I use is only a half scoop which is 35 calories...is that okay?
So if i inhale a dohnut will that break a fast?🤣
nah I think you're good to go
Stevie Lack you can't break a fast, If your dead...😂
😂😂😂😂
Don't look at it either lol
If you inhale like Kirby then yes it will
More videos like this one please.
The dogs look so done with you 😂
Dr. Berg drinks heavy cream with his morning coffee while fasting. I trust him
Dr. Bergs says it breaks the fast but the point is how long. A little erythritol and a little MCT oil breaks the fast but for about 20-30 mins depends on your activity, your body composition and the amount you consume. A little MCT oil also could helps your body to transition to keton fuel. In my opinion with regular intermittent fasting you can consume these with your morning coffee but if you do a prolonged fast for extra autophagy you should skip these while the fast lasts.
Just stick with water and green tea during your fast and you might live longer
Thank youuuuuu! So helpful! I'm on day 4 of a fast and have been having acv, black coffee and green tea. Good to know that I'm not ruining the fast :)
Phew, so glad chocolate didnt make the "No Go" list. Nom nom 🍫
HAHAHAHA
Yep nor did cheeseburger
What about chewing gum? Which types are safe to chew during a fast?
i'll suppose with no sugar on it will not break the fast
i assume the ones with any carb or sugar values on it will break a fast
How about fresh ginger steeped in hot water, then strained. Does that break a fast?
Thanks Thomas
Maybe better do a pop-up in the video regarding the error of putting Protein Powder in the grey area🙃
I was just going to ask about that, I mean he does say that it breaks a fast, and honestly it IS obvious, but seeing how he put it on the gray area made me wonder.
But what about tide pods?!?!
Kidding, love these videos. Keep 'em coming!
Does Xyla sweetner break a fast? Thanks!
If it's a teenager that's doing tide pods, then they're not breaking a fast.
Thomas you need to be on a Joe Rogan podcast
YES. I WAS THINKING THE SAME THING
Rip joe rogan
No, a different form of fasting on the podcast and not about inducing autophagy.
Doesn't he just have weird alt-righters on these days?
S11N Yas!
This was golden! I was using collagen in my black coffee after 3 weeks of IF and my weight loss slowed and I couldnt figure out what it was. Thanks!
Christian James + so how do you incorporate your collagen now? I need to know cuz I take it for my knee tendons...
Dianne Oehman I will now take it only on refeed days. :) Not daily in my coffee. :)
Christian James + Oh...wow!...you do some serious fasting! I'm thrilled if I'm able to do one meal a day!....I wish I had that fortitude!👍🏼
Weed is a break fast inhibitor
🍕🌭🍔🍟👀😋🤦🏾♂️
MMNemesis17 not if you’re disciplined
@@chxsendivine facts
27 of fasting and I just finished watching this to realize that I’ve been having my coffee with a little sugar free coffee mate because I thought anything less than 50 calories was good to go 🤦♀️
50 calories? No way! Here I was.....worried about my apple cider vinegar, haha
I do the exact same thing. The sugar fee coffee mate. I wouldn’t worry too much about it. I’ve been having it and still see results from my fast.
How much do you lose?
so a dirty fast which is different than a pure fast does allow up to 50 calories as it shouldn't spike your insulin levels soo much but check the sugar content on the coffee mate it's usually like 8gr of sugar which is much more likely to throw you out of a fast than the 35 calories coffee mate has
Give up the coffee and do a true fast to feel the benefits.
I heard coffee can raise insulin which makes the fat burning in fasting slower can you do a video on that and perhaps measure your blood level before and after drinking plain coffee? Thanks for the vid btw🤗💖
sara c hmm I’ve always heard caffeine increase fight/ flight and can become a performance enhancer because it releases FFAs for energy. Not sure how fasting changes this
Black coffee doesn't raise insulin, it raises cortisol, so technically it doesn't break your fast. Cortisol and Insulin are the 2 hormones that store fat & prevent fat burning. That's why there's a lot of people who recommend water first thing in the morning and waiting for breakfast to have your coffee.
th-cam.com/video/iAv-1UHHjeg/w-d-xo.html
If cortisol increases with coffee intake, wouldn’t it be counterproductive to drink? I thought cortisol inhibits fat loss.
Braking a fast with Multivitamins? Omega 3’s? Calcium? Vitamin D? Minerals? Capsules with gelatin?
I want to know this as well.
The oils may break the fast but trace minerals maybe not especially if they are in liquid/ionic form but just a guess i'm not 100% sure myself. Just take D and Omegas with meals and the rest with meals you don't need them as your body adapts to fasting you load up the night before and get daily sun way better than vitamin D.
Multivitamins at least the ones that I have bought would be a no go, they contain carbs from fruit concentrates, and apparently gelatin carries non essential amino acids namely glycine, glutamic acid, proline, and alanine (I looked it up) so gelatin would be ok since it doesn’t carry leucine which Tom mentioned causes a spike.
Capsules have usually carriers which can break fasting, so it's better to use supplements in forms of pure powders. Omega 3's are basically fats, so can break fasting. Calcium, minerals - don't break fast (if in "pure" forms). Vitamins are often made in capsules with other carriers like fats or forms of sugars. Gelatin is basically protein, so if BCAA makes little spikes in insulin level then it might too.
TD busts his ass.. whether it be on his research or in the weight room. Thanks for the info and some of the goofy comedy stuff that pops up once in a while. lol
G. Moore thank you for watching! I appreciate that!!
Protein Powder a grey area? Let me clear it up for yeah... thats a NO
I think he just put it in the wrong column, because he did actually say that it would break a fast.
Why can't people just stick with water? Lol just keep it simple not to complicated.
maybe cuz it's pretty difficult?
How so?
Freiza guy Some people like to workout when fasting and also take pre workout. The video answers the question of "Can I take pre workout and still fast?" and gives people some other options.
Rogal Dorn workout fasted, then enjoy your food or protein. Video shows pre-workout is a grey area.
Pre-workout is a waste of money, designed for consumerism. Not to mention filled with artificial flavors and food coloring. Black coffee would be sufficient if you need a boost before your workout. I’ve avoided taking anything before and just go for it. I’m in full agreement that fasting is designed to be simple.
Exactly prework-out if people did their research is basically another form of caffeine. Get your caffeine from coffee or tea simple as that and stick to water.
Where does adderall fall into this?
Very informative....I was disappointed to see BCAA's....as breaking a fast.
What about omega 3 (oil fish) and glycine / malate magnesium (capsules) supplements?
fish oil breaks a fast
Does medicine breaks a fast?
No
When he began the video talking about the dogs, I was like what?😂
Doggie under your right arm doesn't look to happy. Give it a hug and treat.
I would want to know if these fast-breakers interfere with autophagy.
I know for a fact that coconut oil does improve autophagy… I have lose more weight because of my coconut oil in my coffee every morning it helps enter ketosis faster and the liver can keep sleeping since it is transformed in energy directly in your intestines ;) go for Coco if you wanna improve auto phagy
Thomas, thank you for this video. I do have a question though about the use of the sweeteners on your safe column. When you mentioned BCAA's were no-go's it was because of the insulin spike the produce. However, when I was reading Dr. Fung's book The Obesity Code he quotes research that shows the artificial sweeteners, including stevia, spike insulin. And not only a little spike but up to 3x as much as real sugar would. If spiking insulin qualifies as kicking you out of a fast, then it would seem the sweeteners would be on the no-go list. Am I just misunderstanding what he was saying? I know that the key benefit of fasting for someone who is insulin resistant is to be in a prolonged period of time where insulin is not be produced. I've always errored on the side of caution and skipped them when fasting. But wanted your input, maybe in another video? Thanks again for your videos, I look forward to them every time!
Steven Perry That's exactly what I've found in my research. As a result, I slowly weaned myself away from using them, so I don't actually need sweeteners for anything. It makes my fasting periods easier and it keeps my wallet a little heavier, as a bonus.
I agree on the use of sweeteners and Dr. Fung uses human based research results in his book which I prefer over lab animal tests. However, I am going to guess you don't watch Thomas' videos on a regular basis because he does put references to studies to back up the facts he is using. This video may be more of an opinion based one, but his science and research is always spot on. I watch some other keto "bloggers" that quote a lot of "bro" science. But one thing that sets Thomas apart from these others is his use of researched facts and science. Thomas also has a lot of experience in helping others navigate their fitness journey, and more importantly their health journey. Practical experience and knowledge trumps a study every time.
Steven Perry the sweetners he said were ok have been tested on people. Some people get a sugar spike, some dont. Its a grey area. However there are some sweetners that def raise bsl.
If you reread my comment you will see that I said they raise insulin levels not blood sugar levels. These are two completely different issues. And if you listen to what he said when he said BCAA's were out it was because they spike insulin, not blood sugar. My comment/question was if spiking insulin was a reason to kick out out of your fast, then the sweeteners would also kick you out of the fast because they too spike insulin.
Milevskis Fitness. The study shows the augmentation of insulin with use of artificial sweeteners in the presence of glucose on rats. This is not really showing that they produce an insulin spike themselves, but rather increase the insulin response to glucose.
Chewing gum?
it has sugars and also stimulates saliva and the digestive process
@@kylee3639 a lot of US gum has sugar, most in Australia is sugar free :)
th-cam.com/video/UJHxt6mDDic/w-d-xo.html You might also want to analyze the other ingredients.
Hi Thomas, I was wondering about all my multivitamin say take in the morning. Is this something that can break my fast for example fish oils, magnesium, potassium, etc etc. Thank you
nfpaezinvesting ya me too
They can and will end your fast. In fact, some can even kick you out of ketosis.
I personally do IF and a fairly strict keto.
Every other day, in my eating window, I take my supplements.
Give it a go.
nfpaezinvesting omega3 is a fish oil which is a lipid that breaks the fast.. not sure about the minerals such as magnesium though!
Bobby Sweeney I also do I.F with strict keto and literally feel amazing and have had some great results :)
nfpaezinvesting I've wondered the same. Great question.
WTF? I searched if chewing gum broke a fast and this popped up. I just watched this whole video for nothing. Well I did get some good advice but damn.
if it has calories it breaks the fast most gums have 5 calories per gum and in a study done where the had people go into a calorie deficit some participant began chewing multiple packs a day just to get their calories so yes its like drinking tea with dried fruits you’ll still get some metabolic response specially if you chew alot of gum
@@John-zv1hy whatever you still got to move around and get your stuff like everybody else remind me to remind me
Dietsoda's do increase insulin. A study was done in men harvesting sugar canes. Some got coke, some got dietcoke. Both groups harvested more sugar canes after the drink, but the latter group had a major crash and got less productive. The theory behind it is that the pancreas starts releasing insulin as soon as the sugary taste is noted. The insuline lowers the (low) present bloodsugar because the body is expecting a replenishment. When the expected sugar doesnt come in, bloodsugar has crashed which causes fatigue and cravings. You could say that this does not affect the fast as long as you withstand your cravings, but it does effect the way the body reacts. The increase in glucose causes an initial decrease in glucagon which is the hormone that helps mobilize fatty acids and glycogen. Afterwards, glucagon will spike due to the low blood sugar, but you end up feeling pretty bad in between. This being said; Isn't it better not to drink dietsoda's?
And another question: I dont like coffee so i take caffeine in pillform. It has a gelatine capsule. Does 1 really break the fast? If i take the capsule at 12, when i break my fast, i wont be able to sleep.
so, what about sucralose and stevia then? would it cause the same reaction because they are sweet?
@@KittyLovesGlover I'd say yes.
There are lots of new studies coming out that shows the artificial sweeteners kills different types of gut bacterias, and they are thinking that is responsible for the reason why people who consume diet things don't loose weight.
When I drank diet soda, I found it made me more hungry and tempted to eat. So I would avoid them.
I question my sugar free chewing gum that has converted alcohol sugar. 2 gr sugar 2 carbs
So no mint during fast?
Ground spices? Such as ginger, cinnamon, cayenne pepper...?
Bella Santana i asked about ginger he said if its below 1/4 teaspoon its ok
kick ass preworkouts i mean if teas are okay less than 1/4 tsp should be fine too i guess
I have always had coffee with cream when fasting. I guess I have to give up the cream. :(
The most knowledgable person ive ever seen on fasting and health, and very easily understandable teaching! Thank you bro!
Exodarion I appreciate that!! Thank you for tuning in!
@@ThomasDeLauerOfficial what about vanilla extract? Like a couple drops in coffee. Does that break a fast. YOURE AWESOME & INFORMATIVE BTW!!!!
Don't artificial sweeteners spike insulin as well but slightly
Ok a few questions, diet soda specifically diet coke doesn't effect insulin? Because I hear from Dr. Fung first soda can cause a insulin spike greater then sugar.
Second the items in your ok list won't effect me achieving autophagy?
Third is a friend started a water fast but with coconut water included and from anything I read coconut water has calories. So what do you think.
Right now I do water fasts and if it's long fasts a week or more I do a dry fast during a water fast of a day. Thanks!
i take a herbal tea ginger turmeric and 1clove of garlic. will it kick me out of fasting autophagy? also stevia? regards
I just watched a video that showed testing on heavy cream, mct oil, and butter. None of them broke a fast! So who to believe?
I think it depends on what your goals are. I noticed that clear chicken broth doesn't seem to really raise my blood sugar. I think i could lose weight sipping it but it would probably knock me out of some of the really neat benefits of fasting like autophagy and increased production of human growth hormone. It may well be that they are both correct but Thomas is just hardcore.
I did too. It was a medical doctor so I am going with that.
Heavy cream doesn’t break a fast I’ve heard
Water_Tea_coffee_AVC_Lemon
Ok noted
How in the world is a protein powder a grey area but yet bone broth is a no go? Protein powders should definitely be a no go.
Dawn McKenzie I think he made a mistake there. He actually said it was a no-go, right? But while he said that, he wrote it down in the wrong column because that was the one he was working on.
Bernardo Sutter I agree, I think he made a mistake in the board.
Dawn McKenzie he put it in the grey area because some do and some don’t depending on the ingredients.
Lady's Things you're stupid. The point is to avoid calories. It's definitely not in the gray area.
The famous Dr. Jason Fung said bone broth, butter and mct are ok in coffee and it doesn’t break a fast.
what about zero calories and zero sugar energy drinks???
Do vitamins break a fast?
Good question. ???
they do
vitamin pills can sometimes have additives, that contain calories, and break fast, but the vitamins themselves, don't.
On that note, vitamin pills are useless, unless you have medical deficiency, or if you avoid foods that contain something specific you need, that you don't get elsewhere.
Or if you're planning to fast for a weeks.
Does taking vitamins and supplements break a fast?
I did a 36 hour fast and I ate a handful of roasted salted sunflower seeds it was like maybe a tablespoon and I eat it at 26 hour mark did I break my fast
Interesting to see ACV in the gray area section. Even if there may be a single calorie in ACV, isn't there typically 5 calories in a single cup of black coffee? Which shouldn't be enough to impact a fast.
Thomas, I'm wondering if you could make a video discussing the best time to drink ACV, in relation to controlling glucose. E.g. before or after a carb heavy meal? At the start or end of a fast?
CJ Sheets yaaaah... same with stevia, it's not calorie free and DOES have carbs. I think he's mistaken...
@@chantalbaxter9126
Stevia doesn't have carbs. It's carb-free and calorie-free. If it's mixed with erythitol or maltodextrin, then it won't be carb-free but that isn't the stevia adding the carbs.
I found this video 17 hrs in and I was struggling with just water. Now its water, black coffee, and green tea. Time to smash this 72 hour fast and reset my immune system!
Didn't make the 72 hour fast. I figured out I broke my fast brushing my teeth and using mouthwash. This stuff is hard, lots of preparation required.
@@PontoLyone no you didn't. If you were doing a hard dry fast yes, but you were not so it's okay. Thomas has done a video about that.
@@yordanos2739 I just need to know what I'm allowed to do and what I'm not allowed to do in a 72 hour fast to get those immune system benefits. I was so anxious 44 hours into a 72 hour fast about whether I broke my fast or not I just gave up.
Good for you!!
Love watching your videos, you upload great content. What sugar free gum would you recommend for fasting. I am a weirdo about fresh breath and work around other people. Thanks for any insight you have.
I hate to tell ya, but chewing breaks a fast. Brush teeth or mouthwash
Does magnesium glycinate break the fast?
what about ACV AND LEMON JUICE?
NVM,it's in the gray area. Thanks for the video
Loved this video!..how about sugarfree gum...2g sugar alcohol
no go
Everything except for water
Munk fruit and almond milk? Teaspoon measurement in my morning green tea.
Shouldn’t the protein powder be in the no-go column? Like you said, it definitely breaks a fast cause it’s still food.
Wouldn’t La Croix break a fast because it has natural flavors in it?
They have fruity flavors similar to the herbal teas.
Fruit flavor does not necessarily mean it came from fruit. Look up specific ingredients some fruit flavors are from artificial sources.
If it says zero calories and zero carbs per serving its fine.
wtf i litearlly watched like 15 vides back to back and sucralose and erythritol everyone says different.... some say sucralose does fck up your fasting some say erythritol is completely fine and here its complete oposite WHAT SHOULD I ADD INTO MY COFFEE :D:D:D:D
Yes different opinions, I saw monk fruit did not break fast. Or heavy cream as it does not spike insulin
Energy drink name BANG has bcaa but zero calories and carbs, my question is if is a GO or a NO GO.
i think he means the BCAA's themselves will break it. hmm
yes plz answer this. Because i need to know if ive been wasting my time doing "fasted cardio". because i drink one of these before each "fasted" workout.
i need to know if ive actually been breaking my fast before i work out
He said in the vid, bcaa's gonna break your fast
because of how Branch Chain Amino Acids are broken down, he considers them to be a "no-go". @5:21 - leucine causes an insulin spike to break it down. he speaks about it very clearly. very very clearly. lol
How to get my dog into ketosis
PC Pcray 🤣🤣😂😂
PC Pcray 🤣🤣🤣 Please leave that Poor dog alone🙈
Put the put on a raw diet. Only raw meats and you can add veggies if the dog will eat them.
😂😂😂
why would you do that, or even joke about it?! jeez.
Two Fit Docs did a physical test checking ketones, insulin etc. They checked MCT, coconut oil, butter etc. Any artificial sweetener caused a spike, mct and butter did not. In fact BPC had an effect of helping the ketones. Just sayin’ check it out.
Jamia Burcham I saw that test! Now I hear Mct brakes it! Oh my! So many opinions! Geeeze!
It still is calories so it stops the autophagy effect so yes it breaks it
@@Acularis Stopping autophagy and breaking fast are two different things. You can still be in the fasted state and have no autophagy.
What about collagen peptides? Do they break a fast?
I'm shocked that anyone thinks that bulletproof coffee doesn't break a fast.
Same here,bp coffee has butter or ghee,coconut oil etc. Fasting to me is when you're not eating anything and drinking water only. That's what I think at least.
The problem with this video is that he does not Define 'Fasting'. It has been proven that BP Coffee... and it's ingredients do not raise blood glucose levels or lower ketones (MCT oil actually raises it). If you're not eliciting an insulin response are you breaking your fast? He needed to define what he means by fast.- th-cam.com/video/iAv-1UHHjeg/w-d-xo.html

@Adam Taylor: Exactly my sentiment. In Keto, as long as you don't raise your insulin, you can remain in it's definition of a fast. Infact, that is the good "hack" to help you fast longer.
Many of you take this too seriously. You need to relax, you'll live longer.
This is what Dr. Ken Berry thinks too. So the question remains, who is right ?
Thank u for including medical cannabis. I’m a legal patient and use THC and CBD daily. I’m coming to the end of a 3 day fast right now. I’ve been smoking and vaping my medicine, but obviously no edibles, so my pain is significantly higher.. sometimes on occasion, I’ll ingest some decarbed, raw cannabis. I checked online and it said 1 gram of raw cannabis is only 1-2 calories. Would you find this acceptable?
Thank you!
It may be acceptable but I would recommend to go for shorter fasts as marijuana increases your hunger and I would recommend you to stick to the inhaling methods or anything that does not involve ingestion because 1 calorie or a 100 it will break you fast.
Ok, thanks ! 😊👍🏾
Thank you Thomas!! I have a question though,
What pre workout supplement you would recommend if you are fasting and in Keto ?
Thanks!
Can you add prebiotic pills to your fast without breaking it
What about, vitamin supplements, calcium tablets and omega 3 oil ? also does anyone have a recommendation for a preworkout that doesn't break fasting?
Raymond Williams oil I think definitely would break a fast/ not sure about vitamins and calcium I think it could all just depend on the ingredients
Curious about essential oils and if they trigger an insulin response? I’m new to intermittent fasting and based on what I’ve researched so far, am thinking citrus oils would actually be helpful? Thank you for your time and great video!
I have the same question. I ingest 1-2 drops in 40 oz water during my fasted state. Does it affect insulin levels/break a fast?
Do mints or chewing gum break a fast?
Henry Martinez yeah, I learned the hard way
How about medicine like Chinese medicine and supplements
In one of your videos you said diet sodas break a fast....in this one you say it doesn't....what is that facts
jason johnson he write diet soda but was referring to sparkling waters

IAmAgainst - Funny

Just wondering: does turmeric tea will break the fast?
I think that falls under the category of herbal tea that doesn't contain fruit
you say in another video that Stevia may produce insulin.
hi thomas, i watch with very much interest your videos on youtube and i follow you on facebook. can you make some videos like " a day of eating of Thomas DeLauer" as i find very difficult to add mass weight on my current routine.
So a Dr. Ronda Patrick states coffee does break a fast but Thomas says no... I'm confused.
She's specifically talking about the window in which your liver is efficiently metabolizing things. Here, he's taking about the metabolic effects related to caloric consumption. Research is still being done to parse out the difference, but for now, I try to have my black coffee in an 11 hour window, and my calorie fast in an 8 hour window.
what about vitamins in pill form, D3, Omega 3?
MrMixCro Vitamins and Minerals are not digested.
@ThomasDeLauer I have watched literally every one of your videos. I am 3 years post sleeve surgery and am looking to start keto and IF. I can not seem to find anything that touches on the difference for IF in weight loss patience. Could you possibly help me. PS I just quiet drinking after 3+ years of alcoholism so I am currently detoxing my liver as well. Can u help me?
mrsmealey211 he may not respond on here hopefully he will. He might respond on Instagram but there is a huge community of people on IG that have had sleeve surgery & do keto. Zdoesketo is mine & I follow a lot of inspirational and helpful people :)
Thomas, I hate to ask (mainly because I know I need to quit anyway) but does dip i.e. Copenhagen, Skoal, etc break a fast?
velishan1 im 2 weeks late, but it may. Because from what i understand, canned tabacco like that is sweetend with sugars (for taste obviously) even though it may not seem like it to some people. That may make ir break. Just a heads up to look into.
What about those fizzy vitamin C tablets you put in water? Do those break a fast
Sapphire Frenzy they usually have sweeteners added.. (or at least where I live they have) so probably yes :/
What about minerals such as Magnesium and MSM?
Won't break a fast
I use magnesium spray
Dr. Axe said coconut oil and bone broth does not break a fast ???
Hahah was gonna ask you about weed before the video even ended but then I realized I should watch the rest and of course you covered it.
Good video, really informative. Thanks :)
