- About Dr. Mary Claire Haver and The Galveston Diet -
Dr. Mary Claire Haver is a passionate women’s health advocate who believes women in midlife deserve to live their best life. She cuts through fat-shaming and fads, so women are empowered with the science behind anti-inflammation nutrition.
Dr. Mary Claire Haver is a wife, mom, physician, and entrepreneur who has devoted her adult life to women’s health. As a Board-Certified OBGYN in the Houston area, Dr. Haver has delivered thousands of babies, completed thousands of well-woman exams, counseled patients, taught residents, and did everything an academic professor and OBGYN could do.
As her patient population aged, Dr. Haver was overwhelmed with the number of complaints and concerns her patients had with weight gain while going through menopause. For years, she told her patients to eat less and exercise more. It wasn't until she experienced the changes of menopause and mid-life weight gain that she realized this advice doesn't work and ultimately led to her creating and developing a new program, The Galveston Diet.
The Galveston Diet is the first and only nutrition program created by a Female OBGYN, designed for women in menopause. The Galveston Diet helps women reach their health and wellness goals through an anti-inflammatory approach to nutrition. Dr. Haver believes in food's power to combat inflammation and highly recommends the unlimited benefits of intermittent fasting. As part of her ongoing research, she became certified in Culinary Medicine in 2019, specializing in medical nutrition. - วิทยาศาสตร์และเทคโนโลยี
I’m 53 years old and recently discovered that I am going thru menopause. I love your videos
As of today June 8, 2022. I have started eating more fruits and vegetables. I drink water infused with grapes or lemons. I eat more citrus fruit now and I must say that it reduces the hot flashes. Now I am working on purchasing some weights and walking more. My vehicle will be parked and I am riding public transportation.
I add a pinch of salt to the grounds of coffee ☕ to help with the bitterness it helps a lot.
YES!!!
So grateful I found your channel - I'm going through this menopause and how my body's changing. So wonderful to learn from you.
I am in perimeno rn! I religiously watch Dr Mary and Barbie Taylor. Good Luck
Thank you, your helping me get through this "stage" in life!!
Your “coffeemilk” story really resonated with me. My Italian grandparents introduced us as little children in the same way, we didn’t call it coffeemilk but it was the same thing. I’ve been obsessed w coffee my whole life. Not liking my coffee black and not being able to go without it had thwarted my fasting efforts over and over and over. I’m convinced that my inability to kickstart the fat loss process is due to the milk/cream in my coffee, because at 46 my metabolism is that sluggish. Your story has given me hope and perspective! Thank you!
SAME!!!
I only buy mold free coffee and pour over coffee while fasting. This is my game changer. Any tea gives me serious headache. The brand Kicking Horse is the only brand that I can sip black coffee with no headache. Thank you for explaining that coffee is part of fasting. I have been fasting for almost a year now and have lost weight, so much mental clarity and reversed my fatty liver.
You are welcome.
So happy I just found your channel, I never had weight gain issues till now w/menopause so I’m so grateful found you to help in this process of losing the weight! I also just started thinking about trying fasting & going w/black coffee over my cream/sugar.
I'm so glad!
Hi Mary Claire, I just discovered you and I’ve been binge watching your videos. I’m hooked! I had to laugh because I lived in Lake Charles until I was 12. You’re the first person I’ve ever encountered who knows “coffee milk”! I loved it as a kid and it definitely fueled my coffee addiction early on. I started drinking black coffee a while back too. Going to try the flavored coffees. Thanks for sharing!!
You are most welcome!
OMG…this video SAVED ME! I did not know about the flavored coffee with no artificial flavoring! Thank you ☕️😀☕️ IF has made such a huge difference in my health, post hysterectomy.
So happy!
Ok! Thank you. Starting tomorrow. Self talking around the coffee!!!
Totally love you, ur info you share with us is so easily that we can undy
I Really Love 💕 Your Fiber Supplement, I have already ordered it twice.
Thank You
So happy I found you. I have been in pain for years with arthritis and after a week of Calveston I”M PAIN FREE!! I have one question can I have infused water in the fasting windows. If not I’ll have to get used to plan old water 💧
I'm not from the south, but I am from RI and we are all about coffee. I grew up on coffee milk, and coffee ice cream was a staple in our house. Knowing what a coffee ice cream addict my father was, it probably was the first thing I ate as a baby. Love, love, love me some ice coffee, so it was easy to switch to the unsweetened cold brew. Thanks for all you do Mary. It is sooooo awesome to finally realize what the heck is going on with my body and that I can do something about it. Love your channel.
Just found your channel, love it! Can IF be done by eating am and not eating at night?
I absolutely love your videos. I went for my annual and my doctor turned me onto you. Thank you so much for what you do! I feel so empowered when I listen to you. Today is my first day heading into the fasting and the black coffee. I only drank coffee with half and half, but am willing to give this a shot and excited for it. How did you break your gum habit? I suffer so much for my digestive so I am so ready to get on top of this. Thank you, thank you.
You are so very welcome. You have got this! Gum is still a challenge. If I don't have it handy, I don't use it.
CoffeeMilk was a staple in our home -Thanks Mom lol and when my children came along my Mother introduced it to them too lol I’m from Denham Springs ( just out side of Baton Rouge). *My husband was amazed at the espresso\sugar ratio.
You are beautiful, smart & kind! Thank you for being so passionate about peoples’ health and welfare.
Thank you!
I second that! I am new to your channel. Thankyou doc. Do you know of anything natural that will kill off the H-pylori bacteria also lower high BP, BS and cortisol stress also good for hypothyroid. I am a mess and my doc fon't seem to care. Thankyou in advance!
Yes. I was born raised SE Texas. Started drinking coffee milk at 10.
Yep!
Haha wonderful, your video helped me a lot. Thanks for sharing.
You are most welcome!
OMG I am a cajun girl too! You had me at coffee milk!!! Had it every single morning.
It's so good!
I thought everyone gave their kids coffee milk until I married my husband from Ohio. They thought I was crazy!🤪
I replaced my morning coffee with herbal Tea and I’m so happy 😁. No sugar no dairy.
That's great!
Guatemala coffee has helped me kick the half and half. The bitterness is not there. I actually realized I liked the bitterness a little so when I make my coffee I use a 1/3rd Columbia’s. Love your tik tok and tips here!
Good coffee makes all the difference!
I have started fasting during the week not the weekend so I drink black coffe during the week but then I allow myself some non dairy flavored creamer weekend mornings. I am learning and trying to make some changes.
That is a great start! I eased into it over several weeks.
I drank coffee milk at my grandmother's house too though she lived in Buzzards Bay, Ma. Eventually we graduated to coffee syrup from the Autocrat coffee factory not far from our town. Coffee ice cream is also a family favorite.
:)
I love my Parkbrew pour over device. It's the best thing. Once I switched from a Keurig to the pour over coffee, it was a game changer. They make Chemex devices, too, but I really like my Parkbrew & it's cheaper. :)
Great tip!
Yes! 30 year coffee drinker here. I bought a Chemex last year. One day, I ran out of creamer and decided to drink a small cup before I ran to the store to buy creamer. I was stunned. The Chemex process CHANGES the flavor of coffee. I found my coffee to be less bitter. I enjoyed the aroma more and overall the experience. Highly recommended.
SW Louisiana girl here and I know all about coffee milk. Love my coffee with MCT oil, 2 pinches of salt, stevia and collagen. Blend with a milk frother and sip away.
Have you tried Yerba mate? Any thoughts on that during fast? Or how about lemon water?
O My Goodness! I was listening to you & my experience with coffee ☕️ sounds exactly like yours. My Grandmother made much better coffee than Starbucks. It was always such a treat to spend the night with her & have a big breakfast with coffee milk ❤ Thank you for sharing definitely brought back great memories
Back because I could not believe drinking coffee without cream, milk or powdered creamer. Turned out it was easy. So 16:8 with black coffee in the hours before breaking my fast. Thanks so much. 8/22
Does anybody see the link for the k cup reusable pods? I looked on Amazon. Did she add the link?
I'm just seeing this....does anyone know what brand filter she is using with the type of bottom she mentions? I can't see the bottoms when I look on Amazon....
How do you feel about the water flavor packets?
Do you use Perfect Pods for the Keurig?
Im Greek, and my yiayia (grandmother) back home would make me Coffee Milk as well😄 !!! Im 48 and its my comfort drink❤
I understand!
I’m also Cajun girl from Opelousas and had coffee milk growing up!
Thanks for info on using Stevia
Any time!
We just moved to Texas!! I am midwestern and we just had coffee and equal as well!!
Welcome!
My mom too gave me coffee milk. We didn't really use a special term, just called it coffee. Much love from India
Love this!!
Thanks!
No problem!
I'm Cuban and as kids we had Cafe con Leche! Same thing.
I love to make coffee milk with cold brew and oat milk and a little half and half and sugar free coffee creamer
I have vegan coffee it’s called date coffee! which is really date seeds ground into coffee grinds I use my French press coffeemaker , so delicious and has no additives or sugar that’s want I do for my intermittent fasting Thank you Dr. Haver 🙏
I’m from South Carolina and I grew up on coffee milk 🙌🏼
Yep!
Turning 40 in a week, you are the embodiment of pretty much ALL my goals in life! Can you link your reusable k-cup brand? Thank you!

Is there anything wrong with using the approved sugar substitutes in baking low carb muffins and eating during the 8 hour eating window? Having a treat in the afternoon really helps me psychologically.
email drhaver@galvestondiet.com
Mine is Sprite! Other than that I don’t do caffeine. It’s sugar for me. Yes I’m southern from NC
I understand!
Coffee milk!! Yes not from south but remember drinking this and Romper Room!!! Love coffee
Hi Dr. Haver! Can you have herbal tea with lemon during your fast? And is stevia allowed when you're not fasting? Thank you!
Yes you can!
I am Scottish ,living in the UK and watching this while sitting with my " milky coffee" .Sounds very cajun grandma to me !!
I am feeling very challenged by the fasting ...but very scared about the bye bye milky coffee !
I love my milky coffee too!! I can’t imagine my coffee without some cream. So sad.
You can do it! We ill. teach you how!
What are the best hours to fast if a beginner?
im cajun TOO and Coffee Milk was my intro at about 4! We gave our daughter the same thing at that age LOL
Yes!
Yes, Coffee milk at Grandmas house!!! 🙌🏼 ❤️
Hi Mary Claire, you were my doctor years ago, I was reading about the program and have a question. What you mean with "Hormone Intensive" We will get instruction about hormone treatment?
Hi Estela! While I can't "practice medicine" with individual recommendations in an online course - I do provide a tremendous amount of education around all of the hormones that affect where and how you store fat and your hunger/satiety - this will arm you with information you can take back to your doctor to begin an informed conversation.
I grew up drinking it also from my bottle of milk as a toddler. My family is Cuban so we called it cafe con leche. Which is coffee with milk. It was milk with a shot of expresso and lots of sugar. Yummy
So yes I’m struggling with the black coffee :(
I’m from Crowley La and also grew up drinking coffee milk lol
I Love 💕 Coffee, but it Doesn't Love me.
It Really irritates my Bladder, and Causes insomnia.
But I like it.
Any Suggestions?
Thank You
I always have a hard time with any kind of "diet" to lose weight or just to eat healthy because i am so picky about food or drinks . I have always done the intermittent fasting but never knew it had a name. I never eat past 5 in the evening and have breakfast at 9.
Ok... bring it!!! I’m new here and
my first thought was... but my morning coffee w half and half??
You can do it!!!!
Travel with sweet and low and 1/2 and 1/2. Ever since I heard you talk about the sweetners, I've been cutting down.
My husband has been drinking strong, black coffee since he was 5. Swedish boy, doncha know.
I like the smoothness of coffee so I like the cream.
I have some work ahead of me, I guess…😮
Well, flavored coffee will help because I do love that stuff!
I made the switch to black by finding a local company that roasts small batches of coffee and it was a game changer!
Love this!
Is there a way to find out sort of what the Galveston lot diet is like? And is it an actual diet or is it just a new way of eating ?--I am postmenopausal

I am interested in learning more about IF and your program. My question is if someone has lived with high emotional stress for 20 years is IF a good idea for them? I have heard that IF isn't for everyone.
It is worth a try, as there are many forms of IF.
I agree, it is contraindicated in some situations and disease states. For adrenal fatigue / high stress, this might be the case. I suggest tuning into your body. If during the IF you consistently feel dizzy or other negative symptoms, you might have to focus on improving that chronic stress first. Typically, for helping the body recover from adrenal fatigue, eating every about 3 hours during the day can really help, and then as the stress improves, transitioning to 3 meals daily and including IF as appropriate. Hope this helps!!
YES!!! Fasting means FASTING( zero calories) thank you!
Yes it does!
I’m Latina...it’s Cafe con le he at grandmas ❣️coffee addict here🙋🏽♀️
Yes!!!!
Do you personally still add milk and sweetness in your coffee on special occasions, not in fasting mode?
I’ve heard that if you don’t drink coffee that has gone through a filter, pour your coffee through a filter to strain out carcinogenic ‘particles.’ It’s a bit of a waste for one cup, but if you drink coffee every day, it might be worth it to protect your health. Maybe you can use it multiple times each day so it won’t be too much of a waste.
Lovely video, thanks. :) I practice 16/8 but with breakfast (ie, last meal around 5 pm and then starting at 9 am). Oatflakes are actually very healthy, and I have them with nuts and seeds and home-made yoghurt for breakfast, but I am assuming by "cereals" you weren't referring to those. :) I love coffee, too, and it took me a bit of time, but after a while I got used to drinking it without milk, now it's very enjoyable. Just a remark re. "artificial flavors"...I think any added flavors are not so good, ie, "natural flavors" do not have to be good just because it says natural. Anything (literally anything) that is not artificial can be added under the label of "natural", so I'd say best to stick to "no added flavors". :)
What green tea do you recommend
I do keto two
I like a tea called IF Tea (Intermittent Fasting Tea)
Omg I just found you and for the first time feeling like someone makes sense. Can you please tell me oh what baby says a week you fast?
I have blogs about this at www.galvestondiet.com
Thanks u
No problem
Raised on coffee milk…
Love you from MS Gulf Coast 💕☀️
Thank you for sharing your wisdom
(Certainly coffee doesn’t count 🤣LOL)
What about pre-workout? Just to add to water while at gym? Says its 10 calories for 16oz.... I workout while I'm in fasting state. Thank you for all these videos! Love the information :)
Hi - not sue what pre-workout is. Email drhaver@gmail.com
You should be fine!
I break my fasting at 10 am by taking my thyroid medication first. Can I drink coffee before taking medicine like around 8 am ? Is it okay to drink coffee and take thyroid medicine later on?
Yes!
Quick question about adding lemon Hulu ice to tea - it breaks the fast even a tablespoon of freshly squeezed lemon or lime !
I have the same question
Yes! Additionally, buy organic beans only as coffee beans are the most chemically sprayed crop.
Good to know
What about natural monkfruit sweetner. ???
Stevia and Erythritol with or without Monk Fruit are the only acceptable sugar alternatives known to not cause a spike in your insulin or glucose.
Many ask if these can be consumed during the fasting period. Personally, I do not consume anything sweet during fasting but the jury is still out if it affects fasting or not.
There are scientists the believe that when the sweet receptors of the tongue are stimulated by these substances, insulin is released, negating some of the benefits of fasting.
It’s not just about calories. Anything that requires your liver to breakdown, process, or metabolize breaks your fast. You will only figure that out by testing on your own body.
Will fasting some days each week provide at least some health benefits or must it be everyday?
The studies were done either way with benefits shown.
The skinny syrups, 0 calorie, 0 sugar…does those also break the fasting if used in coffee, like Jordan brand, or Torini for example?
YES! Coffee milk!
The best!
Can I add a tablespoon of butter to my cup of coffee ☕️ in the morning? I do not sweeten my coffee nor do I add milk or half and half. 😊❤
What about hot tea? What ideas do you have for flavorimg hot tea?
I love herbal teas! Apple/Cinammon is my favorite
Would adding cinnamon to my coffee be breaking my fast for cellular renew purposes??
I have been fasting 7 am until 1 Monday-Thursday for 4 months & haven’t lost any weight
7am till 1pm? So fasting 6 hours?
Fasting needs to be done for at least 12 consecutive hours to be effective for the health benefits - weight loss is modest at best.
Whoops- awake & fasting I mean. I’m only eating between 1pm & 8ish. Trying to keep calories below 1400, loose 2lbs but gain back Friday- Sunday without the fast. Such a bummer cuz means no family- friends breakfast etc. and NO lattes ever in am
I know I'm late to this party but had to comment....😂😂 coffee milk!! Haven't heard that in years (ok decades!) I'm from south La too so, I know...❤❤
Great vid, but please do more research on “natural” flavors. It’s a big scam on wordsmith. There are rules around “natural” which make them a big scam
Will do!
Is there a difference between “ natural” vs “ no artificial flavoring”?
How do I prevent the gas as I'm really dreading starting all the beans in my diet..
Ease into it! Your gut will adjust.
Thank you so much for the information. I did fasting for 5 days I love coffee I haven't done black coffee I haven't found a good coffee. I am buy Starbucks coffee.
Good for you!
I'm looking to fast for longer periods of time, 3-5 days. I feel like I drink so much water during my fast I may need to add electrolytes. Will an electrolyte supplements ruin those medical benefits?
Not at all!
Not having coffee is my biggest reason why I can’t stick to my fast😩
Can you please post the names of the coffee you mentioned? I heard you say Starbucks but I could see the packaging very well. Thank you ☺️
Will do!! I look for natural flavors in my coffee, Starbucks makes a natural vanilla that I love!
You are such a mountain of helpful knowledge, thank you!So drinking naturally flavored vanilla or mocha coffee is ok, will not stimulate the sweet receptors?
@@maryclairehavermd8473 isn’t the vanilla doing same as stevia & stimulating insulin-sweet receptor?
@@lauretteg7071 No. It's not sweet. It just tastes like vanilla or whatever flavor you choose.
@@shirksa1 No, because it has no sweetness. It just has added flavor to take the edge off of drinking black coffee.
I have a question, is it okay to drink unsweetened carbonated water? It has zero calories, fat and sugar. The carbonation seems to help me feel full, I guess the air bubbles.
Yes, sparkling water is fine during your fast.
I am from southeast asia and we grew up drinking coffee….We have coffee tree in our garden we dried it, roasted it, grind it and boil it for long time….Then we drink it with raw brown sugar…..We also make coffee out of corn…..Vegetables like Avocado and eggplant are like daily bread for us……I now realise how lucky I am to grew up in an healthy environment and chemical free foods…..I thought, when we were a kids we are poor coz we can‘t afford to buy meat, and fish was our daily meal too…..Now, I am living in europe and the eating culture is completely different,more on dairy product and meat….I develop all kinds of allergy…..Now I do a yearly fasting combined with keto for 1-3months….164cm height and 58-60kg….I have been in this weight for almost 10years now no more yoyo effect…..I walk everyday with my dogs….Goodluck to you all and stay healthy!!
That is amazing.
Coffee milk at grandma’s!!❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Are you cajun????
I take thyroid medication. Do I need to thyroid medicine in eating window? Will the medicine break intermittent fasting?
Medicine will not break your fast!
I am almost all in. I dont use artificial sweeteners and I drink my coffee black but I struggle so hard with plain water. I need a slice of lemon. I am just not sure what to do.
Adding a slice of lemon to your water when you aren't fasting is totally fine. We suggest waiting as long as you can in your fasting window to drink the lemon water. If you can only get to 14 hours then that is better than not fasting at all. You might be surprised if you try the water during the fasting time plain you might learn to like it.

How much cinnamon can you add to coffee in fasting window and make it not bitter? Also, do you have any new favorites for coffee that is not bitter?
losing my mind, flexibility( 44 and can still put my leg behind my head)strength, being more susceptible to disease
How often are you doing intermittent fasting? 3 days a week? 5? 7?
I fast every day
