I started intermittent fasting after I had my son and weighed 231 lb on a 5'7 frame that was very very willowy. I could go without eating during my window as long as I was able to have some coffee. So I allowed myself to have that coffee the way I normally took it, which was with sweetener and a little creamer. And that seemed to help curb my cravings. I ended up losing 106 lbs and have kept it off for over 6 years. This is just my way of life now

I’m so glad someone addressed all of this, I used to fast like this and anytime anyone told me not to have this stuff, I lost 15 lbs just by doing fasting in 21 days and noticed such a difference.
Just because she made a video doesn't make it accurate. This is the worst fasting video I've seen and I have been studying therapeutic fasting for 8 years. This woman takes 500mg of magnesium (an unsafe amount - 310mg max for woman) every night, in addition to the other ridiculous claims in this video. Read Dr Fung or one of the real experts if you want to learn about fasting
@@flipino007a thank you so much for your reply. That’s what I was afraid of 🤪. I don’t like pickles but I drink the juice to handle cramps quickly. However I have a sweet tooth and I found a pickle that is sweet and I love it. 🙈
Stevia and monkfruit do raise insulin. The effect on blood sugar doesn't mean there is no insulin response. Nut pods contain emulcifiers. Protein powders even during the meal are a highly processed food and often contain sweeteners Dr. Jason Fung recommends against all of these things
I've been fasting for 20 hours a day for the past 6 months I lost a lot of weight and I'm very healthy I eat 4 to 5 cucumbers a day and I chew them it fills me up hydrates me This is one of the best vegetables ever for me anyways
An americano with 1 ounce pure C8 MCT oil usually around the 13-14 hour and breakfast 15-18 hour. I make my own lemon ginger shots that break the fast with. Then 2 tablespoons of Trader Joe’s raw almond butter then tea with collagen then some Turkey bacon and 2 eggs That can sustain me for about 4 hours. Sometimes I just eat a late breakfast then dinner by 4-5 pm
If I'm hungry during a fast, I'll drink Water 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar 1 pinch salt 1 pinch cinnamon (occasionally I've added some freshly squeezed lemon juice) It's not always easy to swallow it. I have gagged several times drinking it 🙈 BUT it really helps to calm down the hunger. The minute it's down, I can literally feel my tummy feeling calmed & relaxed 😊
Me too but I make a cinnamon tea to add instead of ground and definitely add the lemon and lastly, potassium (using a salt alternative called “No Salt”). I actually like the taste after experimenting with the amounts
Excellent list. I’m 55 and 5’2” and I put on thyroid and menopausal weight. I’m now close to my weight I was in my 20s! I use a bit of HWC in my coffee and slices of lemon in my water. Hasn’t stopped weight loss but helps me fast longer.
I switched to intermittent fasting over a year ago. I've lost 50lbs. I'm not perfect with it when comes to breaking my fast but I am consistent. I drink keto coffee or green tea with lemon. I take a multivitamin as well. I also workout at the gym 3-4 days a week for 1.5 hrs each day. I would like to see a vid on fasting during the holidays. I just found your channel so I don't know if you've done that already. Thanks for the vid!
Black coffee with a bit of potassium powder, sea salt, heavy cream and a vanilla bean powder I found on Amazon that is only sweetened w a bit of monk fruit. After that all water especially carbonated to curb the hunger and give your stomach a more full filling. On day 4!!!
22:16 The thing that makes ACV different and better than any other vinegar is that it contains malic acid, in addition to acetic acid. I bought a bag of malate about 2 years ago (it is sold in wine-making stores as a wine additive; it makes white wine taste a bit like cider) and it still lasts me, since the amounts one consumes for health are so small. If you put a tiny pinch of malate powder into a glass of water it makes malic acid. If you take a mouthful, your teeth start to hurt right away as it dissolves the enamel fast; so don't do it. If you put a rod of ultra-pure magnesium metal in it, it starts to bubble up (but these are hydrogen bubbles; not carbon dioxide) and it makes magnesium malate (but for this to happen fast the water should be at boiling temperature). I do this sometimes. The hydrogen has additional health benefits; it is probably the most powerful antioxidant. So I get 3 benefits: magnesium, malate, and hydrogen. If the acidity of ACV bothers you, here's something you can do: Save the shells of the eggs you crack, but make sure you buy organic eggs, always. Once you have a handful or two of shells, crush them small, by hand or using a rolling pin or other method, put them into a big glass jar, and pour ACV just to cover the shells. Cover with a cloth and a rubber band (it attracts fruit flies) and let bubble and foam for a few hours. Filter first through a sieve and then through a paper or cloth filter to remove remaining eggshell solids and eggshell membrane fragments. What remains is partially (50% to 75%) de-acidified ACV, with a wealth of calcium and other minerals, good for your bones specially. You can now pour this ACV on your salad and it will taste like cider vinegar in every way except the acidity will now be mild. Delicious, nutritious, and more sustainable than throwing precious eggshells to the garbage. FYI, there will be malates and acetates of mostly calcium, as well as of other minerals in trace amounts, including phosphorous, copper, zinc and manganese. There's magnesium in it, too, but only in trace amounts, so you do need to worry about the calcium/magnesium ratio. Works fine with either white or brown egg-shells. Note that eggshells often have salmonella on them; and although the vinegar will kill them, you can inadvertently spread salmonella around your kitchen surfaces and utensils when working with eggshells, so clean everything well with soap, afterwards. By the way, malate/malic acid is the only dietary substance that gradually dissolves cholesterol stones in the liver (though lecithin helps too). Its presence in blood also helps dissolve any calcium deposits on artery walls (as does niacin). If you don't like ACV, and you don't want to deal with malate powder because you hate chemistry, I think the easiest way to get your fix is by consuming magnesium malate pills. I take two kinds of magnesium pills: magnesium bis-glycinate AND magnesium malate (besides making my own sometimes, for the hydrogen). ((And yes, the hydrogen bubbles up, but at least a fraction of it dissolves into the water, so some of it goes go to the stomach. To argue that hydrogen is a gas and will float up through your body is not a fair argument, as states of matter (solid, liquid, gas, plasma) are states of large quantities of a given substance, in large molecular counts; it does not really make sense to speak of the state of matter of a single molecule. Hydrogen indeed disperses through the body; it can pass through cell walls, through entire organs, through bone, and doesn't even notice the blood-brain barrier; it goes "wherever it wants" because of how small it is. One good thing about hydrogen (H2) is that it neutralizes two hydroxyl radicals at once: 2 x OH- + H2 => 2 x H2O.)) EDIT: By the way, I'm keto-vegetarian (NOT to confuse with "vegan"). To clarify, I'm keto for my health; vegetarian for the environment. I do not believe in any plant-based health claims vegans make. I once had a vegan colleague whose lies I confronted, and who finally confessed to falsifications in their claims, but switched the argument to that "the ends justify the means". As a philosopher, not only do I not believe good ends justify evil means, but I believe that evil means always fail to achieve any good ends; and you can see how the carnivore fad is a consequence or reaction to the hateful ways of the vegan movement. And I just subscribed to this channel; seems pretty good; this is my first comment.
I am so glad I found you! I started intermittent fasting and doing iffy at it at the start of the year. Not strict with it but glad it has given me more structure. But looking forward to getting my health and diet back on track! Thank you for all the knowledge!
Nice to know there are different hour plans we can follow. I just started with the 16/8 hour plan, but will try adopting the 18/6 hour plan, when I can.
Just found your page last night. I am hooked. You put out so much important information in a quick, no nonsense way, concise way, also love that you reference where to find details about a subject that goes a little deeper. I am going to binge on your videos in the next several days to get all the info rather quickly. Have 100 lbs to lose by early-mid 2025 (50th HS class reunion :))
When it comes to trusting someone who discusses food and health in general, the first thing I look for is how healthy the individual appears. And you definitely pass with flying colors! You look incredibly healthy and radiant!
Well, she's also very young. If she was 65 like me and appeared to be 30, that would be a flying colors pass. But in any case, she seems to know her nutrition well. I listened to this 46 minute video and did not hear anything false, which is very rare to find among you tube nutrition videos. The only small thing she missed was the question on ACV versus other vinegars, where the question needed to be answered with a question, namely, why would the person want to substitute other vinegars for ACV, in the first place? ACV is particularly good for its containing malic acid, in addition to acetic. Malic acid is super-good for you, it dissolves calcium deposits on your artery walls; it dissolves cholesterol stones in the liver, ... It is probably what gave apples their exaggerated good reputation, tempered by all the sugar they have. But ACV has the malic acid from the apples, and NO sugar.
@@privateerburrows Right, I know she is very young, but still, not all young people look so healthy, exuding energy and positivity. Thanks for the additional and important info on ACV! Cheers!
Thank you for NOT editing your video with that annoying, choppy crap that other people do. I know this was a live stream but still, it makes a video unwatchable when others do it.

Please clarify regarding cinnamon. I understand Ceylon cinnamon is the only type that stabilizes blood sugar/insulin. The Saigon type is a totally different type and may also affect the kidneys.
Actually Dr. Berg here in TH-cam explained that there is no difference in benefits between different types of cinnamon. He said the only difference is the price 😊
MCT 8 &10 add in to the cofee an put 1 tbs heavy cream in the morning,my first food is around 12-2 3 eggs+ avocado and 1/4 apple,dinner between 4-6 some chicken most grill or fish,afte dinner I have green tea.All morning aI drink most water.I take every day vitamins.For 3 weeks I lost from 22 lb,I thiks is great.
I know what nutrient information says but as a type 1 diabetic coffee, decaf and even black, spike glucose in some people a lot. Like to the point I have to take insulin. I can also confirm using lemon will drop glucose as does green tea.
Hi, when you say 1 tablespoon of heavy cream, would that be 1 tablespoon during the whole fasting window? Or say I have 2 coffees during the fasting window, could I have 1 tablespoon of heavy cream in each one?
I'm so thankful you addressed this cause I really didn't know. Organic loose leaf herbal tea with nothing added is the first thing I drink in the morning. I'm glad to know it doesn't break my fast.😊
Vinegar has 2 other benefits for those who may have the problems it solves. 1. Acid reflux. Take a teaspoon to a tablespoon of it every morning and night. 2. Internal yeast. Yes we can develope type of yeast that is not good for us inside our bodies. Drinking a shot glass of it and staying away from carbs and sugars of all kinds will help with that. I am sure it has other benefits but these two are ones I have experienced and it helped my body get rid of those two issues.
coffee black w salt, seltzer w electrolytes and magnesium. intermittent fasts are so short, though, less than 24 hrs, I shouldn't think you'd need so many tricks to get through them.
I start my day with a glass of water with 1 TBSP of ACV, 1TBSP of grated ginger and 1/2 lemon juice as well as a cup of tea with coconut milk and 1 tsp of MCT oil
That was a lot of great information 😊 Thank you! Can I use 1/8th tsp of Himalayan pink salt instead of Celtic sea salt instead during the fasting period?
Hey there! I am new to intermittent fasting and this video was a lifesaver! I am a creamer with my coffee type of person so I'm happy that you covered nut pods! Question however is what's the safest maximum amount that I could put in my coffee without breaking my fast?
This is really great fastening information. I am a coffee drinker and I would like to jnow how much salt to 1 cup of black coffee to remove the bitterness?
Have to be honest, first i didn't think I'll hear helpful informations in this video, but you always tell something I didn't really think of... Thank you✌️
Your content really help. I have started weight loss so many times and failed. I am understanding a lot from you about what to eat and how to fast that was so confusing now am getting it. Thank you Autumn am watching you all the way from kenya. Kindly talk about green powders how to include them in our diet and how they help.
In terms of the coffee, I recently just learned that if you use really good water, really good coffee and if you don’t 100% grind the beans leave them a little pour you can get that good taste without adding the salt. So I’d like to grind my beans and do it pour over .
Hi autumn, I just found your channel and I am starting keto so I want to know if 2 teaspoons of oat milk and one package of munkfruit sugar added coffee break the fast
Where did the zero calorie rule for fasting come from? I realized that coffee has a few calories so it’s confusing when people say coffee will not break fast but same people will say if you consume any caloric intake, you will break your fast.
I feel that am able to eat anything I want but not overdo it and I’m seeing results Still losing weight My fast starts right after lunch and drink lots and lots of water 18.6/18.4 With being a type 1 diabetic it helps me control my sugars overall So good to find out that pickle juice will cut my sugar cravings
Good info. Thank you 🤗🙏🏾. What are your thoughts about nuts in general, cashews, almonds, walnuts and pistachios? I eat nuts in my eating window sometimes. Thank you again 😊🌷
I asked so many different people pickle juice would run my fast thank you for answering that I asked a couple different channels and they will never answer me. I wonder if the same is for olive juice
Hello Autumn. I fast for about 20 hours Monday thru Friday. Would a drink concoction of water, magnesium, pickle juice, ACV and Vital Proteins Collagen powder be okay during my fasting time?
??? Hello! I would like to know if 45 ml of unsweetened organic soy milk (about 0,54g of carbs) in black tea will break my fast. Thank’s! Buy the way great video as usual!😊 ???
This is my question too! I just scrolled though a ton of comments hoping to find the answer! I see she hasn’t responded though, and it’s been 7 months :-(
I'm 3 going on 4th day of my fast. I already see and feel a difference....all positive. I wish I would have known you were doing this. I'm going to do a 72 hour fast to reset..my system
Good day. Was wondering if sugar free candy is allowable for I.F.? For instance Werthers Orininal Sugar Free Caramels have 45 calories for 5 pcs. Please advise..thank you!
????Hi Autumn, I have a specific coffee question. I usually do at 16 hour fast. In the morning I have coffee with 1/4 cup of full cream milk which I froth. Does this break my fast please? I have heard so many varied opinions and would like some clarification please. I did try keto coffee but not able to make it now as I don't have access to a blender. thank you ????
So, if you add two or more of the allowable items in the allowable amounts to your water, such as ginger with lemon and mint to your water, does combining them throw you out?
I have pcos too and had to change my diet (no carbs, no sugar, no dairy, no fast food) to put it under control and lose weight. I’ve lost 42 pounds so far. My hormones are balanced too. I also fast. I do not eat after 4pm and break it at 8am in the morning the next day. I eat a lot of veggies, protein (eggs, chicken) and some fruits. There are some videos about women that put their hormones under control. I had to do my own research :( my diet is pretty much keto. That’s what is working for me. To avoid breaking my fast I drink tea or coffee, and sometimes Coke Zero. But you need to consult a doctor. Always consult a specialist before getting into a diet 💛
I kinda figure it out but what if I make tea and follow your amounts and add coconut oil , turmeric, cinnamon, and lemon will that combined take me out of fasting
I put these ingredients and ACV in my water vs tea. Not sure what rule it breaks. In the afternoon, I add blueberries and sometimes strawberries with collagen powder
MOST should be fine. But you can check my blog for each specific ingredient here to double check: www.autumnellenutrition.com/blog/categories/does-it-break-a-fast
Will you do the challenge again in 2024 NewYear??? November heading into all the Hollidays but I've been intermittent fasting for 3 months. I use AG1 w ACV as one of my midmorning meals 70+ vitamins minerals. Great addition to fast💜💜💜💜

Sticking with water. Anything with fruit or spice flavors spikes my hunger. No problem with water, black coffee, black tea.
22:16 The thing that makes ACV different and better than any other vinegar is that it contains malic acid, in addition to acetic acid. I bought a bag of malate about 2 years ago (it is sold in wine-making stores as a wine additive; it makes white wine taste a bit like cider) and it still lasts me, since the amounts one consumes for health are so small. If you put a tiny pinch of malate powder into a glass of water it makes malic acid. If you take a mouthful, your teeth start to hurt right away as it dissolves the enamel fast; so don't do it. If you put a rod of ultra-pure magnesium metal in it, it starts to bubble up (but these are hydrogen bubbles; not carbon dioxide) and it makes magnesium malate (but for this to happen fast the water should be at boiling temperature). I do this sometimes. The hydrogen has additional health benefits; it is probably the most powerful antioxidant. So I get 3 benefits: magnesium, malate, and hydrogen.

Once you have a handful or two of shells, crush them small, by hand or using a rolling pin or other method, put them into a big glass jar, and pour ACV just to cover the shells. Cover with a cloth and a rubber band (it attracts fruit flies) and let bubble and foam for a few hours. Filter first through a sieve and then through a paper or cloth filter to remove remaining eggshell solids and eggshell membrane fragments. What remains is partially (50% to 75%) de-acidified ACV, with a wealth of calcium and other minerals, good for your bones specially. You can now pour this ACV on your salad and it will taste like cider vinegar in every way except the acidity will now be mild. Delicious, nutritious, and more sustainable than throwing precious eggshells to the garbage. FYI, there will be malates and acetates of mostly calcium, as well as of other minerals in trace amounts, including phosphorous, copper, zinc and manganese. There's magnesium in it, too, but only in trace amounts, so you do need to worry about the calcium/magnesium ratio. Works fine with either white or brown egg-shells.

Vinegar has 2 other benefits for those who may have the problems it solves. 1. Acid reflux. Take a teaspoon to a tablespoon of it every morning and night. 2. Internal yeast. Yes we can develope type of yeast that is not good for us inside our bodies. Drinking a shot glass of it and staying away from carbs and sugars of all kinds will help with that. I am sure it has other benefits but these two are ones I have experienced and it helped my body get rid of those two issues.
During my fast I use 1/8 tsp of Celtic salt and 1/2tsp of Trace Minerals drops in my 1st water of the morning.
coffee black w salt, seltzer w electrolytes and magnesium. intermittent fasts are so short, though, less than 24 hrs, I shouldn't think you'd need so many tricks to get through them.
This is on point.
I start my day with a glass of water with 1 TBSP of ACV, 1TBSP of grated ginger and 1/2 lemon juice as well as a cup of tea with coconut milk and 1 tsp of MCT oil
That was a lot of great information 😊
Thank you!
Can I use 1/8th tsp of Himalayan pink salt instead of Celtic sea salt instead during the fasting period?
This was so good! Can you tell us which ones will not affect autophagy? Or can we just assume pure fats?
Hey there! I am new to intermittent fasting and this video was a lifesaver! I am a creamer with my coffee type of person so I'm happy that you covered nut pods! Question however is what's the safest maximum amount that I could put in my coffee without breaking my fast?
Fresh grated nutmeg in a cup of warm coconut almond milk for help with sleep. 😴😴😴
Imagine telling our ancestors there would come a time when we would have to challenge ourselves NOT to eat.
Oh wow am I ever happy that i happened onto Autumn,s video
Me too
????Can I use True Lemon crystalized lemon packets? If yes, how much during a fast is ok????
Thank you Autumn, always informative. I really appreciate this!
Glad it was helpful!
I’m thinking cucumbers and vinegar helps too it’s also really GOOD especially when cold 🤤
Let’s get it! Great highlights!! Keep them coming bro!!
RYZE mushroom coffee has 0 protein and 1 carb - I enjoy!
Thanks for this! It made me feel validated that I can take my normal coffee the way I wanted 😭
Good information on fasting, thank you
This is really great fastening information.
I am a coffee drinker and I would like to jnow how much salt to 1 cup of black coffee to remove the bitterness?
Yay! I’m so happy about Nut Pods! I thought I was breaking fast every morning.
Have to be honest, first i didn't think I'll hear helpful informations in this video, but you always tell something I didn't really think of...
Thank you✌️
This is really helpful!
Very helpful list!!! Very thorough!!! Thank u for all that u do!!!💞💞🙃💞💞
I love pickle juice. I’ve drank it since I was a kid. ❤
Your content really help. I have started weight loss so many times and failed. I am understanding a lot from you about what to eat and how to fast that was so confusing now am getting it. Thank you Autumn am watching you all the way from kenya. Kindly talk about green powders how to include them in our diet and how they help.
In terms of the coffee, I recently just learned that if you use really good water, really good coffee and if you don’t 100% grind the beans leave them a little pour you can get that good taste without adding the salt. So I’d like to grind my beans and do it pour over .
Yes for next week information
Salt is most important if started new saves the headache most definitely
Hi autumn, I just found your channel and I am starting keto so I want to know if 2 teaspoons of oat milk and one package of munkfruit sugar added coffee break the fast
Do the benefits of lemon change if you use lemon concentrate vs fresh?
I wondered this as well.
No problem with only water and tea here on 18-6
Where did the zero calorie rule for fasting come from? I realized that coffee has a few calories so it’s confusing when people say coffee will not break fast but same people will say if you consume any caloric intake, you will break your fast.
I feel that am able to eat anything I want but not overdo it and I’m seeing results
Still losing weight
My fast starts right after lunch and drink lots and lots of water
18.6/18.4
With being a type 1 diabetic it helps me control my sugars overall
So good to find out that pickle juice will cut my sugar cravings
Hi love my green tea love it. I try drink with half hour before with cinnamon
Thank you for the video!!! I’m currently fasting and this information helps 😎🙏🏽
Good info. Thank you 🤗🙏🏾. What are your thoughts about nuts in general, cashews, almonds, walnuts and pistachios?
I eat nuts in my eating window sometimes.
Thank you again 😊🌷
So good job, Autumn!❤❤
Thanks Ervin!
You’re welcome, Autumn!
My granny sprinkle a little salt on top of her purlicue area
STILL TODAY ! I wonder if that’s why she’s doing so 🤔🤣🤎
I asked so many different people pickle juice would run my fast thank you for answering that I asked a couple different channels and they will never answer me. I wonder if the same is for olive juice
What is MMC?
Hello Autumn. I fast for about 20 hours Monday thru Friday. Would a drink concoction of water, magnesium, pickle juice, ACV and Vital Proteins Collagen powder be okay during my fasting time?
What about vitamin C? Doesn't it cause insulin to spike due to its chemical similarities to glucose?
Is lime juice and lemon juice the same as far as nutrients?
??? Hello! I would like to know if 45 ml of unsweetened organic soy milk (about 0,54g of carbs) in black tea will break my fast. Thank’s! Buy the way great video as usual!😊 ???
Me scrolling the comment section looking if someone take summary list instead of watching the 46 minutes vlog. 😂
Hey I'm trying to add on muscle from doing keto having a time figuring it out
I started this journey a wk ago, so glad I found your pg. Thanks
What about pre/probiotics?
How much of the Nut Pods can go in coffee without breaking the fast? And is it only the 'basic' one? Not the vanilla unsweetened one?
This is my question too! I just scrolled though a ton of comments hoping to find the answer! I see she hasn’t responded though, and it’s been 7 months :-(
Thanks for the info. How many times can you consume these food ? once ? one of each and only once ?
Yes I have the same question
I'm 3 going on 4th day of my fast. I already see and feel a difference....all positive.
I wish I would have known you were doing this.
I'm going to do a 72 hour fast to reset..my system
Good day. Was wondering if sugar free candy is allowable for I.F.? For instance Werthers Orininal Sugar Free Caramels have 45 calories for 5 pcs. Please advise..thank you!
A Dr. said anything sweet will trigger your body,even not real sugar. Don’t eat fake sugar either
There’s so many types of magnesium, what type of magnesium would you recommend? Thanks💜✨💐
Isa, search images, types of magnesium and you’ll find charts that break down the different types and you can choose based on your individual needs.
Fasting Method rec bathing or soaking your feet to get it into body. I use a mag spray on my feet and or stomach
“Bioptimizers” has a really good one!!
I use Magnesium Glycinate to relax. It helps my anxiety.
Good
I’m asking same question:
Can popcorn @ coconut oil be my “ second meal@8 pm?
If you’re still eating and drinking then how are you fasting? Water/tea is what you should stick to to be on the safe side
????Hi Autumn, I have a specific coffee question. I usually do at 16 hour fast. In the morning I have coffee with 1/4 cup of full cream milk which I froth. Does this break my fast please? I have heard so many varied opinions and would like some clarification please. I did try keto coffee but not able to make it now as I don't have access to a blender. thank you ????
I don't even use my blender anymore. Just have it hot enough to melt my butter and stir.
So, if you add two or more of the allowable items in the allowable amounts to your water, such as ginger with lemon and mint to your water, does combining them throw you out?
I use heavy whipping cream in my coffee. No carbs.
What about brewed cacao?
What type of magnesium you take please???
i might have missed it, but speaking of chewing . . . what about sugar free gum?
Hey you!!! Happy New Year ♥️
Happy new year!!
Heavy cream half half is it similar to skim milk?
Looks nice and relaxing 💚
Hi , any suggestions to help with pcos ? Thank you 😊
I have pcos too and had to change my diet (no carbs, no sugar, no dairy, no fast food) to put it under control and lose weight. I’ve lost 42 pounds so far. My hormones are balanced too. I also fast. I do not eat after 4pm and break it at 8am in the morning the next day. I eat a lot of veggies, protein (eggs, chicken) and some fruits. There are some videos about women that put their hormones under control. I had to do my own research :( my diet is pretty much keto. That’s what is working for me. To avoid breaking my fast I drink tea or coffee, and sometimes Coke Zero. But you need to consult a doctor. Always consult a specialist before getting into a diet 💛
What about xylitol gum?
How much butter and coconut oil?
I kinda figure it out but what if I make tea and follow your amounts and add coconut oil , turmeric, cinnamon, and lemon will that combined take me out of fasting
I put these ingredients and ACV in my water vs tea. Not sure what rule it breaks. In the afternoon, I add blueberries and sometimes strawberries with collagen powder
????are most herbal teas ok, like Moringa tea or dandelion leaf tea, ginger tea..I actually have been brewing a combination of the 3.
MOST should be fine. But you can check my blog for each specific ingredient here to double check: www.autumnellenutrition.com/blog/categories/does-it-break-a-fast
Does Collagen break fast or better taken during eating window
Will you do the challenge again in 2024 NewYear??? November heading into all the Hollidays but I've been intermittent fasting for 3 months. I use AG1 w ACV as one of my midmorning meals 70+ vitamins minerals. Great addition to fast💜💜💜💜
Hello😀 does anyone know if creatine supplements break a fast? The brand I consume only has 5 calories in 5.2 grams
What are some good protein foods to eat?
