This video couldn't have come at a better time. I IF 16 hours daily. Down from about 270, but have stalled at 175 for about 3 weeks. Had been putting ginger in my fasting water, with a little monk fruit. Will switch to plain water with either pink Himalayan salt or ACV. Thanks, Dr. Berry; so glad I found your channel.
Yes,its amazing how the smallest thing can mess things up!but this is how we learn,I love fasting but still learning how my body behaves a year later!but its worth the journey❤️it helps me a lot.
I only drink water, and I add ACV but that's it...I IF 5 days a week and water fast on the weekend. I'm off all diabetes meds and off blood pressure meds... fasting is the best gift you can give your body...
I am off the diabetes meds, but not the blood pressure ones yet. I have to re-focus on IF w/out sugar or hwc. I have been at a stall. Congrats that's great you've been able to achieve that. I hope to say the same in the near future.
That's great! Im finally back 85% from long covid, & desperate to lose the 60 lbs that piled on after 1/2020 cv. Qus: did u go "hard keto/fasting" right away or slowly drop carbs over a cpl weeks? And, with all your weight loss thru keto, is your skin "shrinking" too? Meaning no floppy arm/tummy skin? Thanks for your input, & congratulations!
Salt water works wonders for me. I also put a small lump of Himalayan pink salt under my tongue when I’m hungry. Something about it just makes my brain think I’ve eaten. 😁
Thanks for the clarification Dr. Berry. I'm interested in the benefits of autophagy. In four months I've lost 27 pounds with IF and keto and I'm no longer obese! This info will clean up my fasting routine. You are changing lives Dr Berry!! If only I had known this years sooner. I believe I would have avoided my autoimmunity issues that culminated in obesity, hashimotos, fibroids, multiple cancer surgeries and a lousy neurological diagnosis. Stay well friends!
Dr. Berry! I have to tell you that out of all the videos that I have watched about Keto, yours have been the most informative and have really helped me on my journey. I have lost over 20 pounds in two months and I have never felt better. I turn 59 this year but I feel like I’m in my 30s! You rock dude!
Thanks now I know why I'm stalled, stevia in my fasting coffee. I hope this starts the ball rolling again. Started at 348 down to 254 in 8 months. Loving this lifestyle.
Hi Dr Berry! What do you think about the flavored waters without sweeteners...such as Dasani, Bubly, Perrier (grapefruit flavor is my favorite), St Croix? They contain "natural flavors" which are ambiguously defined. No sweeteners though like other brands. Thanks!
I've been fasting on and off since January. My blood insulin level is way too high. UGH. Now I know why!!! Sweetener in my coffee and in my tea! AND that's why my weight loss has been at a crawl for months. Thank you!!!
Thank You Dr Berry! Because of your videos, I have finally found a diet that is satisfying and sustainable! KETO/CARNIVORE has helped me feel full, but still lose weight! I'm in for the long term! I've lost 28 lbs in about 7 weeks, with 0 hunger! I'm 5'8, beginning weight was 272. Today I'm 243, and I can't begin to thank you enough! I'm 57 years old, no high blood pressure, no diabetes, so I have been following your recommendations and I am feeling better and the weight is rolling off almost effortlessly! I bought your book and I am amazed at how accurate your information is! My Dr. is a bit skeptical of all this, and so was I in the beginning, but facts are facts and I will continue this diet the rest of my life! Thank you again and may you always be healthy and prosperous! Scott C. , Las Vegas, NV
I fast exclusively with water and black coffee in the mornings. I also add salt, magnesium drops, and iodine drops to one cup of my morning coffee. Works great! Thanks for all your videos and the constant flow of information that you give!!!
Dr. Ken, by the way, I got all of this from your videos you post. I use your magnesium drops, iodine drops, pink sea salt, etc. Thank you for keeping on strong in this. You are having a major impact on the Keto community!
@@markimboden1958 - I have already been adding a pinch of sea salt in my coffee. I'll try adding a drop of magnesium and iodine also instead of putting it my cup of water and drinking them separately.
Something else I can do to help me through the fasting window is go for a walk down my very steep 350 metre driveway. When I get back up the top eating is the last thing on my mind.
I've stopped putting cream in my bulletproof coffee and now just use a tablespoon of butter and MCT oil. I'm going to ween those two down to a teaspoon of each. I must say the secret to bulletproof coffee is the blending process. It gives the coffee a beautiful crema and binds the ingredients together for hours.
Hi Dr Berry Mine is my own home made Rooibos iced tea🙂!!! I also drink a lot of Japanese Sencha and MATCHA Green tea. Also drink straight Oolong tea and Chamomile tea which I actually grow in my own garden🙂. I am a former athlete who has been stagnant for years due to a serious injury. I have found with a daily intermittent fast of 16 and 8 and drinking these teas on top of my 3 day keto and 4 day Carnivore diet the weight I put on is just melting away without literally no effort and very moderate exercise 👍.
Water, salt, alittle fat, 1-2 drops lemon or lime Minerals, Real Tea , hot tea- Coffee( 1 teaspoon of butter) pinch of salt Pickle juice ( no’s Bone broth, collagen powder, amino acids, any carbs, protein, sweets, coconut milk, nut milk, Keytones
Disaster pants, lol you kill me but you're speaking the truth! Life just got easier once I started drinking green tea with acv and monk fruit, I'm down from 387 to 268lbs and loving the keto lifestyle! Thank you sir, you are priceless!
Dr. Berry- You are always my go to for anything Keto or Intermittent Fasting related. I know that you know what you are talking about. Thank you for all you do.
Better late than never … I am just seeing this. And it’s magic. I want to do more intermittent fasting again, but I can’t give up my coffee because the side effects aren’t worth it. So lately I have seen you put butter in your coffee, and now I hear butter and salt, and it’s not bad for fasting. Well, sounds like a game changer to me!!
New England Journal of Medicine says coffee while intermittent fasting actually seems to encourage autophagy. I'm sure they did not mean you could have cream and sweeteners with it, but...
This sounds encouraging....although I don't particularly trust mainstream doctors, dietitians and magazines....once dr. Berry gets the truth of it....then I'll believe!
Thank you for this video. I was fasting with just black coffee. I brought some collagen protein powder and was adding it to my coffee. I will stop and not add it until I break my fast. I have been doing ACV and a big glass of water 1st thing when I get up. I stopped sugar and junk foods on July 7, 23. I have lost 32 lbs so far on keto and 2 weeks I have not ate any veggies. Added more fat and protein. Still learning. Feel a lot better.
Great video!!!! I just came off of a 16 day water + salted tea fast and added pink salt into my tea before I heat the water helped me feel energized and focused. If I started feeling weak I drank another cup of salted green tea and felt great again. Also, you are looking younger every video. Keep up the great work and setting a great example for us to follow
I drink green tea in the morning and have now tried adding coconut oil or butter per your suggestion. Really helps and I have no problem eating my first meal at lunch (never am hungry when I get up anyway until an hour or so later). That gives me a 14 to 16 hour intermittant fast. I finally started keto because of your videos 4 days now. No cravings, either! Thank you for your work. Love your style!
In this video does he say that coconut oil or butter in your coffee/tea doesn't break a fast? If he says that he's incorrect....I'll watch it now to see what you're referring to.
My favorite fasting drink is black coffee, salt (pinch) and a teaspoon of butter. That flavor is magic for me, and I go to bed actually looking forward to that in the morning.
Drinking pickle juice right now and WOW! I feel so much better! My head was killing me 😩! Less than 4 hours left in my 24hr fast and my body was screaming for salt! 🙌🏾💖
It's more likely that the sodium chloride in the pickle juice stopped the headache. Unless it was sweet pickles. Then the sugar probably did break her fast. But you lose salt when you go into ketosis. A half-teaspoon of salt, mixed with some water will often do the trick.
I only have coffee (black) and water, and I eat one meal a day usually around 6:30. I'm very lucky in that I did a lot of fasting when I was younger, and I have zero issues with hunger. I've had plenty of issues with my esophagus (eosinophilic esophagitis) and likely have celiac (two of my sons have it, confirmed by biopsy, but I now don't eat enough wheat to get a definitive test) - all of my issues with swallowing related to this have completely gone away. It's as if the botttom of my esophagus has just disappeared - no more lumpy, "is this going to go down?" type feelings.
@ChistopherMurtagh I also had issues with swallowing supplements and some foods before starting Keto. Now I can swallow hand fulls of supplements without any problems. I noticed the improvement within the first month or two of starting Keto.
Hi doctor,I just found out. I have diabetes and I’m def obese and I am feeling like crap.I’m 54 and I’m so glad you showed up on my suggested channel to watch,I truly believe you are my miracle doctor,thank you,I am going to try. Everything. For a keto diet
Thank you Dr Berry. I was 213 20 days ago I am now 203 thanks to your Keto diet plus fasting. I do walk too. Thank you so much . I wish there were more docs like you. God bless
When I have the time, I fast on weekends and drink water (240 per day) to detox myself. [Do so because I work as a security guard and can't spend a couple of hours in tge bath room, :-) ] I use vitamins on those days only, and then I keep busy. By the way, thank you for your vid on skin tags... the one I've had for decades has all but disappeared. I must remember to stop eating carbs and sugars to access. Two of the best and cheapest. Drat it. Again thank you for your vids, gives me information I can't attain on my own. Have a great week.
I use Ultima electrolyte powder to change the flavour of the water I use store bought bottled water I also use sparkling waters and black tea and coffee
my favorite fasting liquid is coffee but only in the morning until 1 pn. my eating window is between 2 pm and 8 pn. (I now have begun putting a little butter in my coffee) Thank you for your videos.
Kevin Jones that’s usually my eating window too. I was having coffee with heavy cream and alternate sweetener but I don’t really like the flavor of the sweetener and so I started skipping coffee twice a week and I noticed that I don’t really miss it so I think I am just going to give up the coffee completely. One question is it ok to do this fasting everyday?
My fav fasting liquid is ... COFFEE but NOW I know i have to drink ONLY WATER IF I want to attain Atophegee. When I do an Atophegee Fast ... can I still take my heart meds ? ( 25 mg Carvedilol + 25mg Spironolactone) I just started the Ketovore diet 8 days ago and lost 6 pounds so far. I am never hungry . :) I only eat at 2 pm and -6pm. daily. . I fast the rest of the time Thank you Sir for all you do... you are a walking angel on this earth and YOU are appreciated !
My goal is to up my libido and get rid of this pot belly. Fasting will probably be the most difficult at first since I'm a habitual snacker (potato chips, dry cereal, Oreo cookies, Ritz crackers etc) But I'm going to give it a try. I will eat my bacon breakfast at 6AM this morning and try not to eat anything until supper at 6-7PM give or take. Thanks again Doc!!!
Also, I hear, you can eat all the bacon and eggs and butter you want.... but then I hear protein will spike your insulin.... kind of a mixed message.... please clarify... thanks for your videos.... They are blunt and to the point and that works for me
This was extremely helpful. 14 days into ketovore and starting IF. I found out the hard way about stevia. I was a week in and finally had gotten over the worse the the sugar cravings. I had had a morning “keto” drink with stevia. Big mistake. My sugar cravings came roaring back and I had a couple of days of withdrawals again. So, I would definitely think stevia impacts my insulin levels. Won’t use it again.
I used to put a splash of heavy cream in my coffee, but I found that when I reduced it to a tsp with a tsp of MCT, that I started to get thinner again.
Thank you for very clear, no-nonsense information. I am thinking for some time now to incorporate IF, but your videos made up my mind. When you mentioned the brain's response to something sweet, and also to chewing, i realized that i am a big culprit by chewing sugarfree gum... often during the day... and it seems that it has quite the opposite effect.
Wow this is all very good to know. I guess starting tomorrow, I won't be using sweeteners with my coffee. Also I'll be sure to try tea with butter today just to see how it tastes like but I know I broke my fast this morning. But hey tomorrow is another day! Now I know about this, I can apply it to my everyday fasting. It is also good thing that I am no longer doing the lemon water thing!
Just water, black coffee and apple cider vinegar for me. I've done several 48 hour fasts and find hour forty the toughest for some reason. My goal is weight loss and healthier living.
Water and coffee. I believe that if I only drink water I lose weight faster. Maybe only .1 pound per day, but still a difference. New at this, since February 22, 2022, so I seek your guidance frequently.
I use a pat of Kerry gold salted butter and a tbsp of mct oil in my big cup of coffee every morning and then I don’t eat anything until about 11 am. It’s working for me. I look forward to it every morning.
Glenda Last Dr Berry just taught us that all sweeteners break a fast because they release an insulin response. Depends on what your goal is. Autophagy? Water only! (with electrolytes, look up snake juice recipe)
@@cathylarson54 I haven't watched this video yet, but no matter what you consume your insulin will be spiked unless it's something like water or BLACK coffee. That's including butter coffee.
Hi Dr Berry , I have warm water with lemon and ACV and put a teaspoon of mixed powder of cumin , turmeric, fennel ,ginger and black salt , will this powder break my fast? . I love your show , ❤️
Thank you so much for the tip about my double cream (heavy cream) I put in my Tea. It very much explains my stall. That and the cream cheese witht the pork rinds. I need to water fast with salts to get me back on track!
Dr Berry: I’m new here but love your channel. Day 10, and able to eat only during 2 hour window. On fast, only water but ACV in the morning and before bed, for bladder health, gout, and toe fungus. Getting blood work in a week as part of annual physical, and looking forward to blood sugar numbers. Previous blood work has been good, but I’m excited to lose weight. Started at 230, now 205, goal 199 or less.
I use Ultima lemonade electrolytes zero everything in my water I only use a third of a packet to change the taate of the bottled water I hope that will work I have never fasted and am also concerned about the insulin I have to use daily to maintain my blood sugars I have also just started Keto in the hope of being able to stop all my meds in the near future Weight los is a plus Thank you for being here your video's have been a big help
My fasting guidance started using a formula called snake juice. It pretty much minerals (salt), and it keeps me going. I test different things out, adding butter to my coffee (which doesn't break my fast) and other things to see if it breaks my fast. It's fun to experiment with adding and subtracting different items to see which works and what doesn't. But for my regular 24, 48+ fast, I stick to minerals in water and coffee/tea only.
Thank you for clearing up some of my confusion. It seems like everyone who has advice on the ketogenic diet has a different answer when it comes to what's acceptable during a fast. I really just need to stick with water and MCT oil. Apparently, I haven't been fasting at all this whole time, because someone else said bone broth was ok. This may be why I've stalled.
Hello there, I use 12oz bottle - 1cap acv, 1/2tsp celtic salt, 1/2 tsp cream of tartar(potassium) 1cap of colloidal silver,2-3 drops of lime and filled with luke warm water.(tap/ sometimes distilled) Is this good?
1. Can I drink celery juice first thing in the morning while on intermittent fasting? 2. Is alkaline water with high ph good to drink while on intermittent fasting? 3. I also read about drinking under 50 calories while on fasting? how true is it?
Coffee is my beverage of choice during my fast. I have been adding a little less than 1 teaspoon of mushroom powder (reishi, cordyceps, Lions Mane) for the health benefit. I was also using a little unsweetened cocoa powder but have eliminated that during the fast. Your thoughts on the mushroom powder?
I fast around 20/4 most days. 16/8 for weekends I’m down nearing 90lbs. I also reversed my type 2 diabetes and am now off ALL diabetic meds and not having to inject insulin. My goal is to get off blood pressure meds.
Thank you Dr Berry! This is good to know! I’m so glad I found you this week. My husband and I are trying to get started on keto after many false starts. Honestly I’m intimidated by the whole thing but I’ve subscribed to your channel with notifications and I’ve subscribed to Karen Martel ‘s primal diet plan yesterday so I’m hoping to get started today! Gosh I didn’t know lemon in water would break my fast. I was doing lemon water for a long time thinking I was doing a good thing -so much conflicting information out there! I did “bullet proof coffee” for a while with collagen.
Hi Dr Berry, would toothpastes trigger an insulin response since they are sweet tasting? Do they contain anything that one should not be ingesting while on a Keto diet? Thanks, love your clips, they've energized me to take action.
I share your information to others i know . If i can help others also by sharing your great helpful information . i lost 2 pounds in 1 week an i will continue following your guidelines. I need to lose weight due to health an i'm a 100% disable an my tight leg is hurt real bad so losing alot weight i'm hoping i'll be in less pain .
Ali Indrawan I do two meals. I fast 19 hours. I eat my first meal at 1pm and 2nd meal at 6pm. I drink coffee with no sugar and mineral water in the morning and keep busy throughout the day.
I got addicted to ACV and water to sustain me BUT now I'm hearing that ACV is very hard on the liver. What are your thoughts Dr. Berry? Also liver issues (non-alcohol) run in the family.
I fast with ACV ( 1-2 TBS) mixed with 8 oz of green tea mixed and with a Tbs of psyllium fiber (which has a trace amount of tureric in it) mixed into the ACV green tea mixture. Sometimes I nibble a small slice of ginger root (1-2 grams).
Lily Dsouza I am not a doctor but worked with flavor chemists. Avoid “all” sodas at all cost! Especially diet soda! Loaded with garbage. One former Pepsi executive said that they love when you buy diet soda. Highly profitable, cheap to make, but very bad for you. Don’t do it!
What about brushing your teeth? What about supplements? What about Nattokinase ? What about caster oil? Do these end a fast ? What about dandelion root ?
Dr. Berry, are there some electrolyte powders you would recommend for water fast. I have bought Dr Bergs Electrolyte powder but its sweet and expensive as well. Any suggestions will be appreciated. Your videos are always very simple, very informative and awesome. Thank you
I never have developed a taste for "black" coffee, too bitter for me. However, the Doctor's suggestion of a pinch of salt and teaspoon of better does the trick. It cuts the bitterness for me and now I can actually enjoy all the caffeinated goodness without scrunching my face.
Thanks for all your content, you are amazing and have actually inspired me to start my own vlog documenting my keto weight loss journey….. Keep up the good work.
This video couldn't have come at a better time. I IF 16 hours daily. Down from about 270, but have stalled at 175 for about 3 weeks.

Thanks Tabania! We all have to keep making adjustments as we move towards the goal!
Fantastic! Nicely done! How long did it take you?
Yes,its amazing how the smallest thing can mess things up!but this is how we learn,I love fasting but still learning how my body behaves a year later!but its worth the journey❤️it helps me a lot.
Congrats, Tabania, how long did it take you to lose the weight, what is / was your eating plan, and what exercise do you do? Thanks!
What about Chia seeds in water to take with my multivitamin?
Thanks for mentioning that adding butter or ghee to a cup of coffee does not break a fast.
I only drink water, and I add ACV but that's it...I IF 5 days a week and water fast on the weekend. I'm off all diabetes meds and off blood pressure meds... fasting is the best gift you can give your body...
Stacey Boudreau On your IF fasting how many hours do you fast?
This was my question, if adding a little ACV to water would break the fast. Sounded like it would not. Well done, Stacey.
I am off the diabetes meds, but not the blood pressure ones yet. I have to re-focus on IF w/out sugar or hwc. I have been at a stall. Congrats that's great you've been able to achieve that. I hope to say the same in the near future.
I do 20 hours and 4 hour eating window
Well done
I fast every day 20/4 during the week. Weekends 16/8 thank you Dr.Berry🥰💯down 70lbs on my keto journey as well. 40 lbs to go!
That's great! Im finally back 85% from long covid, & desperate to lose the 60 lbs that piled on after 1/2020 cv.

I’m starting keto today. I’m so excited to get my health back and lose weight. Ready to be healthy again
Salt water works wonders for me. I also put a small lump of Himalayan pink salt under my tongue when I’m hungry. Something about it just makes my brain think I’ve eaten. 😁
Me too.
Wow, how much salt?
Salt under your tongue when you're hungry? Wow, I'll try it!
@@yupengzhao219 Thank you …I’m trying that one this morning.. and maybe in my black coffee too . Well done 👍

This info will clean up my fasting routine. You are changing lives Dr Berry!! If only I had known this years sooner.

Can you share the plan that you follow? Thanks
JoJo, I don't know if you found the answer to your question but Dr. Berry has been carnivore for at least several months and prior to that keto.
@@JoJo-yp2hc I accidentally put a comment to you in the wrong place. I think it is above.
@@williamhull4031 Hi William, I'm actually looking into Keto at this time. :)

Thanks now I know why I'm stalled, stevia in my fasting coffee. I hope this starts the ball rolling again. Started at 348 down to 254 in 8 months. Loving this lifestyle.
C. L. Did you even watch the video? He is a doctor. I will take his advice over yours. So it is you that has no idea what you’re talking about.
Gloria Gray congratulations on your new lease on life you earned it 🎉
Fyi, each packet of Stevia contains appx 2 grams carbs. Not much but they add up.
Me too.. I use stevia everyday.. taking it out today
Impressive 👍
I just asked a question on a different video of yours but got my answer on this video. No collagen powder in my coffee while fasting anymore. Thanks
Hot water with a couple of lemon drops with a dash of cayenne pepper. That kick really wakes me up in the morning
You can build muscle and burn fat by intermittent fasting and working out as part of your daily regimen.
Hi Dr Berry! What do you think about the flavored waters without sweeteners...such as Dasani, Bubly, Perrier (grapefruit flavor is my favorite), St Croix? They contain "natural flavors" which are ambiguously defined. No sweeteners though like other brands. Thanks!
Nothing better than a fasted CrossFit workout
What about medicine such as thyroid medicine? Will that break my fast?
Dr. Berry
I realize that this may sound silly but does mouth wash or toothpaste break your fast?
When I brush does the amount of mouth wash or toothpaste that is ingested enough to break your fast.
I've been fasting on and off since January. My blood insulin level is way too high. UGH. Now I know why!!! Sweetener in my coffee and in my tea! AND that's why my weight loss has been at a crawl for months. Thank you!!!

I'd like to do this. Did u just stay home? Or did u go to a water fast clinic?
I drink green tea in the morning and have now tried adding coconut oil or butter per your suggestion. Really helps and I have no problem eating my first meal at lunch (never am hungry when I get up anyway until an hour or so later). That gives me a 14 to 16 hour intermittant fast. I finally started keto because of your videos 4 days now. No cravings, either! Thank you for your work. Love your style!
In this video does he say that coconut oil or butter in your coffee/tea doesn't break a fast? If he says that he's incorrect....I'll watch it now to see what you're referring to.
Mineral water with a bit of lemon and Himalayan salt. Can't beat it.🙏🏻👍🏻😁
My favorite fasting drink is black coffee, salt (pinch) and a teaspoon of butter. That flavor is magic for me, and I go to bed actually looking forward to that in the morning.
I will definitely try this! :)
@@Cantabile07 I use coconut oil as well as butter when I think of it... but mainly coconut oil. Makes the coffee taste so rich.
I use MCT oil in my black coffee. I’ve noticed thou stomach aches sometimes when I put in MCT oil. Not sure why.
I add almond butter the oily kind. it is good
You break your fast with the coffee or you drink the coffee through out the day?
Drinking pickle juice right now and WOW! I feel so much better! My head was killing me 😩! Less than 4 hours left in my 24hr fast and my body was screaming for salt! 🙌🏾💖
If your headache stopped it may be because the pickle juice broke your fast so you stopped detoxing. Sorry.
It's more likely that the sodium chloride in the pickle juice stopped the headache. Unless it was sweet pickles. Then the sugar probably did break her fast. But you lose salt when you go into ketosis. A half-teaspoon of salt, mixed with some water will often do the trick.
I drink hot tea to suppress my hunger. It works great!!!
@@anthonycook8703 your not eating foods so pickle juice isn't going to break your fast. If you go for soda it may hurt it.
@@disnalee pickle juice can have sugar, they were saying that would break their fast. Definitely cannot have sugar.
I've just started a few weeks ago. I'm down 15 pounds. I drink plain black 1/2 cafe coffee. Thank you for your encouragement.
Black coffee and water for me.
I only have coffee (black) and water, and I eat one meal a day usually around 6:30. I'm very lucky in that I did a lot of fasting when I was younger, and I have zero issues with hunger. I've had plenty of issues with my esophagus (eosinophilic esophagitis) and likely have celiac (two of my sons have it, confirmed by biopsy, but I now don't eat enough wheat to get a definitive test) - all of my issues with swallowing related to this have completely gone away. It's as if the botttom of my esophagus has just disappeared - no more lumpy, "is this going to go down?" type feelings.
@ChistopherMurtagh I also had issues with swallowing supplements and some foods before starting Keto. Now I can swallow hand fulls of supplements without any problems. I noticed the improvement within the first month or two of starting Keto.
Hi doctor,I just found out. I have diabetes and I’m def obese and I am feeling like crap.I’m 54 and I’m so glad you showed up on my suggested channel to watch,I truly believe you are my miracle doctor,thank you,I am going to try. Everything. For a keto diet
Thank you Dr Berry. I was 213 20 days ago I am now 203 thanks to your Keto diet plus fasting. I do walk too. Thank you so much . I wish there were more docs like you. God bless
You are the best, you are spreading your knowledge free for every one💚💚💚
When I have the time, I fast on weekends and drink water (240 per day) to detox myself. [Do so because I work as a security guard and can't spend a couple of hours in tge bath room, :-) ]
I use vitamins on those days only, and then I keep busy.
By the way, thank you for your vid on skin tags... the one I've had for decades has all but disappeared.
I must remember to stop eating carbs and sugars to access. Two of the best and cheapest. Drat it.
Again thank you for your vids, gives me information I can't attain on my own.
Have a great week.
I have a well , my water comes from a natural spring, that’s my go to drink.
I love wells!
My name is Wells
I like Dawn Wells
current dislikes are Jillian Michaels and all her friend
Scrolled back up to see 3 dislikes. Lol sounds about right. Jillian and all both of her friends.
Lol!
Haha she just wants to make money at the expense of people's health, no big deal!
OMG The count is now up to 20!
She's recruiting! Somebody stop her! AhahAhahaHahahahahA.........LOL XD
@@woodenslave yea well her video still has 10k dislikes soooooo...😂😂😂
I use Ultima electrolyte powder to change the flavour of the water I use store bought bottled water I also use sparkling waters and black tea and coffee
Hey Doc
I drink black coffee, water, ACV with a little Himalayan salt. I'll do 18/6, 3 times a week.
my favorite fasting liquid is coffee but only in the morning until 1 pn. my eating window is between 2 pm and 8 pn. (I now have begun putting a little butter in my coffee) Thank you for your videos.
Kevin Jones that’s usually my eating window too. I was having coffee with heavy cream and alternate sweetener but I don’t really like the flavor of the sweetener and so I started skipping coffee twice a week and I noticed that I don’t really miss it so I think I am just going to give up the coffee completely. One question is it ok to do this fasting everyday?
My fav fasting liquid is ... COFFEE but NOW I know i have to drink ONLY WATER IF I want to attain Atophegee. When I do an Atophegee Fast ... can I still take my heart meds ? ( 25 mg Carvedilol + 25mg Spironolactone) I just started the Ketovore diet 8 days ago and lost 6 pounds so far. I am never hungry . :) I only eat at 2 pm and -6pm. daily. . I fast the rest of the time Thank you Sir for all you do... you are a walking angel on this earth and YOU are appreciated !
OMG "disaster pants" how you made me laugh!
Me too!!
Yes sounds like a real ole country, down home, kinda fella.
This was my fav too!!
Amy Gumm Yes I love the disaster pants too! That was hysterical
Looked at the comments just to see who else enjoyed “disaster pants” !!! I laughed out loud and have a new phrase!!
Water, fasting 16 to 20 hours a day, 5 to 6 days a week.
My goal is to up my libido and get rid of this pot belly. Fasting will probably be the most difficult at first since I'm a habitual snacker (potato chips, dry cereal, Oreo cookies, Ritz crackers etc) But I'm going to give it a try. I will eat my bacon breakfast at 6AM this morning and try not to eat anything until supper at 6-7PM give or take. Thanks again Doc!!!
Also, I hear, you can eat all the bacon and eggs and butter you want.... but then I hear protein will spike your insulin.... kind of a mixed message.... please clarify... thanks for your videos.... They are blunt and to the point and that works for me
This was extremely helpful. 14 days into ketovore and starting IF. I found out the hard way about stevia. I was a week in and finally had gotten over the worse the the sugar cravings. I had had a morning “keto” drink with stevia. Big mistake. My sugar cravings came roaring back and I had a couple of days of withdrawals again. So, I would definitely think stevia impacts my insulin levels. Won’t use it again.
Hello Doc...i tried coffee and i add butter n half a tsp of seasalt, it's taste really good, first time to drink this combi🥰💚
I used to put a splash of heavy cream in my coffee, but I found that when I reduced it to a tsp with a tsp of MCT, that I started to get thinner again.
Thank you for very clear, no-nonsense information. I am thinking for some time now to incorporate IF, but your videos made up my mind. When you mentioned the brain's response to something sweet, and also to chewing, i realized that i am a big culprit by chewing sugarfree gum... often during the day... and it seems that it has quite the opposite effect.
Wow this is all very good to know. I guess starting tomorrow, I won't be using sweeteners with my coffee. Also I'll be sure to try tea with butter today just to see how it tastes like but I know I broke my fast this morning. But hey tomorrow is another day! Now I know about this, I can apply it to my everyday fasting. It is also good thing that I am no longer doing the lemon water thing!
Just water, black coffee and apple cider vinegar for me. I've done several 48 hour fasts and find hour forty the toughest for some reason. My goal is weight loss and healthier living.
Dr.Berry, thank you so much for wisdom & caring, we love your channel and your family!
Water and coffee. I believe that if I only drink water I lose weight faster. Maybe only .1 pound per day, but still a difference. New at this, since February 22, 2022, so I seek your guidance frequently.
I use a pat of Kerry gold salted butter and a tbsp of mct oil in my big cup of coffee every morning and then I don’t eat anything until about 11 am. It’s working for me. I look forward to it every morning.
Regina Branson that works for me too but I try to have my first meal at around noon.
Read Delay, Don’t Deny. Great book and podcast On intermittent fasting. Fast clean and you will see results quicker.
Regina Branson I do the same but also put some stevia and erythritol in my morning butter coffee.
Glenda Last Dr Berry just taught us that all sweeteners break a fast because they release an insulin response. Depends on what your goal is. Autophagy? Water only! (with electrolytes, look up snake juice recipe)
@@cathylarson54 I haven't watched this video yet, but no matter what you consume your insulin will be spiked unless it's something like water or BLACK coffee. That's including butter coffee.
My favorites are electrolyte water, coffee and unsweetened tea.
Hi Dr Berry , I have warm water with lemon and ACV and put a teaspoon of mixed powder of cumin , turmeric, fennel ,ginger and black salt , will this powder break my fast? . I love your show ,
❤️
Thank you so much for the tip about my double cream (heavy cream) I put in my Tea. It very much explains my stall. That and the cream cheese witht the pork rinds. I need to water fast with salts to get me back on track!
Dr Berry: I’m new here but love your channel. Day 10, and able to eat only during 2 hour window. On fast, only water but ACV in the morning and before bed, for bladder health, gout, and toe fungus. Getting blood work in a week as part of annual physical, and looking forward to blood sugar numbers. Previous blood work has been good, but I’m excited to lose weight. Started at 230, now 205, goal 199 or less.
YOU GO J Sixx!!!! GREAT J O B ! ! !
How were your tests
I use Ultima lemonade electrolytes zero everything in my water I only use a third of a packet to change the taate of the bottled water I hope that will work I have never fasted and am also concerned about the insulin I have to use daily to maintain my blood sugars I have also just started Keto in the hope of being able to stop all my meds in the near future Weight los is a plus Thank you for being here your video's have been a big help
My fasting guidance started using a formula called snake juice. It pretty much minerals (salt), and it keeps me going. I test different things out, adding butter to my coffee (which doesn't break my fast) and other things to see if it breaks my fast. It's fun to experiment with adding and subtracting different items to see which works and what doesn't. But for my regular 24, 48+ fast, I stick to minerals in water and coffee/tea only.
Thank you for clearing up some of my confusion. It seems like everyone who has advice on the ketogenic diet has a different answer when it comes to what's acceptable during a fast. I really just need to stick with water and MCT oil. Apparently, I haven't been fasting at all this whole time, because someone else said bone broth was ok. This may be why I've stalled.
I thought bone broth was OK when fasting
I mainly fast w/water with lemon and or acv. Thanks Doc😀😀😀😀
Thanks for info. I drink unsweetened tea with a slice of lemon
Holly fat cells, I've got to rearrange my morning fasting routine. Thanks for direction again.
Brilliantly explained. Glad I watched it. Thank you, Dr Berry.
Swapping cream for butter 👍 Thank you Dr. Berry.
Hello there, I use 12oz bottle - 1cap acv, 1/2tsp celtic salt, 1/2 tsp cream of tartar(potassium) 1cap of colloidal silver,2-3 drops of lime and filled with luke warm water.(tap/ sometimes distilled) Is this good?
I add colloidal silver to mine as well. thanks for the tip on cream of tarter
1. Can I drink celery juice first thing in the morning while on intermittent fasting?
2. Is alkaline water with high ph good to drink while on intermittent fasting?
3. I also read about drinking under 50 calories while on fasting? how true is it?
Coffee is my beverage of choice during my fast. I have been adding a little less than 1 teaspoon of mushroom powder (reishi, cordyceps, Lions Mane) for the health benefit. I was also using a little unsweetened cocoa powder but have eliminated that during the fast. Your thoughts on the mushroom powder?
Hey Dr Berry, flavored sparkling water. Zero calorie Lemon LaCroix. Will that break a fast?
I fast around 20/4 most days. 16/8 for weekends I’m down nearing 90lbs. I also reversed my type 2 diabetes and am now off ALL diabetic meds and not having to inject insulin. My goal is to get off blood pressure meds.
Thank you Dr Berry! This is good to know! I’m so glad I found you this week. My husband and I are trying to get started on keto after many false starts. Honestly I’m intimidated by the whole thing but I’ve subscribed to your channel with notifications and I’ve subscribed to Karen Martel ‘s primal diet plan yesterday so I’m hoping to get started today! Gosh I didn’t know lemon in water would break my fast. I was doing lemon water for a long time thinking I was doing a good thing -so much conflicting information out there! I did “bullet proof coffee” for a while with collagen.
a small drop of lemon or lime is okay but not a whole lemon or lime juice. I love lemon water
Hi Dr Berry, would toothpastes trigger an insulin response since they are sweet tasting? Do they contain anything that one should not be ingesting while on a Keto diet? Thanks, love your clips, they've energized me to take action.
I share your information to others i know . If i can help others also by sharing your great helpful information . i lost 2 pounds in 1 week an i will continue following your guidelines. I need to lose weight due to health an i'm a 100% disable an my tight leg is hurt real bad so losing alot weight i'm hoping i'll be in less pain .
I love drinking mineral water. I love fasting. I hardly ever feel hungry now. I have been doing this now for 1 1/2 months.
What did you do? 16/8?
Ali Indrawan I do two meals. I fast 19 hours. I eat my first meal at 1pm and 2nd meal at 6pm. I drink coffee with no sugar and mineral water in the morning and keep busy throughout the day.
I'm super new to fasting and I LOVE IT!!! I never knew I could live this way.
LilyOfTheTower I never thought I could keep this up either. I only hope my family considers doing it for health reasons.
Do you fast up to.or over 24 hours?
I got addicted to ACV and water to sustain me BUT now I'm hearing that ACV is very hard on the liver. What are your thoughts Dr. Berry? Also liver issues (non-alcohol) run in the family.
I drink jasmine tea or Tumeric with pepper for absorption and a half a lime w yes honey.
Dr berry can you do another video on the carnivore diet
This was so helpful as I’m suffering today and still got 6 hours to go so this was great advice
I fast with ACV ( 1-2 TBS) mixed with 8 oz of green tea mixed and with a Tbs of psyllium fiber (which has a trace amount of tureric in it) mixed into the ACV green tea mixture. Sometimes I nibble a small slice of ginger root (1-2 grams).
Hi Dr. Ken is it okay to drink the plain sodas NOT the ones with sugar. Please advise
Lily Dsouza I am not a doctor but worked with flavor chemists. Avoid “all” sodas at all cost! Especially diet soda! Loaded with garbage. One former Pepsi executive said that they love when you buy diet soda. Highly profitable, cheap to make, but very bad for you. Don’t do it!
Coffee and small amounts of water with sea salt and tartar every eight hrs. Dont need much h20. 18hr daily 24hr once a week
What does cream or tartar have in it? Magnesium?
Glad you told about no bone broth. I was thinking of drinking it during my fasting times.
I use coffee with butter, coconut oil and MCT oil.
Yummy. I can fast comfortably for 20 hours after a bullet proof coffee in the morning...what a luscious treat!
What about brushing your teeth? What about supplements? What about Nattokinase ? What about caster oil? Do these end a fast ? What about dandelion root ?
I think according to what he is saying...all good as long as no sugar or carbs...He said herbal tea good so dandelion is a go :)
Spurlina moringa mixed with nutritional yeast in a good alkaline water and one packet of truvia stevia
I drink a few cups of green tea during my IF and 24 hour water fasts.
Dr. Berry, are there some electrolyte powders you would recommend for water fast. I have bought Dr Bergs Electrolyte powder but its sweet and expensive as well.
Any suggestions will be appreciated.
Your videos are always very simple, very informative and awesome. Thank you
I never have developed a taste for "black" coffee, too bitter for me. However, the Doctor's suggestion of a pinch of salt and teaspoon of better does the trick. It cuts the bitterness for me and now I can actually enjoy all the caffeinated goodness without scrunching my face.
Thanks for all your content, you are amazing and have actually inspired me to start my own vlog documenting my keto weight loss journey….. Keep up the good work.
