@ThomasDeLauer Since I am only few months short from turning 50years old replaying your videos to understand the awesome science and common sense info on your videos over a month has improved body/mind health, energy and body shape. That being said a couple of questions: since I learned from your videos that is after 16 hours that fasting give over the top life-changing results and, also from your videos, you explain that instead of eating soon post workout you find that eating a while longer after physical exercise is the best, I am starting to workout at night to break my fast around 11am the next day; am I okay in following these methods? and last, if I understood one of your videos correctly before eating lunch with a little carb in it, you recommend to have a little bit of fat without carb so that the body re-start turning fat into energy rather than storing it, is that right? and with the bone broth alone am I getting that fat to break my fast with and a hour later then have the meal with some carbs in it; correct? I hope you don't mind me squeezing in like 3 questions in one comment.

Thanks Tom. I'm doing keto again this year and really doing it properly thanks to all of your help. I'm on week 5 of Keto and oh my god it is working. My weight isn't moving on the scales yet but I have dropped a seize in clothes already. I only follow you and it's working. I was unsure about stevia. Thanks so much for all your amazing videos. I've been watching you for two years now. Keep doing your amazing videos.

Thomas, thank you for all you do on YT !!! I’m getting back to fasting and getting into keto…vegan keto actually. I’m a vegan for 6 years but I was getting very confused and never knew what I really should eat. Keto is new to me but I love it so far…I’m learning sooooo much from you !! Your passion for healthy body is very contagious!! Please keep up the fantastic work that you do. Don’t get discourage by any mean comments…sending you and your family hugs and lots of love 💜🌺💜🌸

Thank you for including cannabis in this discussion! As the industry evolves, so does the science, esp. learning exactly what makes us feel the way we do. Terpenes are found in ALL plants, and they are specifically responsible for feelings of euphoria, energy, relaxation, hunger, etc., aaand specific ones have even been known to suppress appetite. As a post-bacc Neurobiology labrat whom joined the professional side of cannabis a few years ago, it really is amazing to finally see the science behind this force of a plant. Caution on edibles:. Our bodies breakdown and digest the endocannabinoids in MJ much more completely than smoking/vaping, and take much longer to kick in. Exercise restraint and moderation when consuming. Remember, you can always eat more, but you can't eat less. Also exercise caution when medicating with concentrates- oil, distillate, vape, wax, etc: these are 'concentrated' mediums of THC, producing a stronger effect. I personally recommend flower to start, seeing as how you get the full spectrum benefits of the plant rather than THC alone. I could go on, but by all means if anyone sees this and has questions, don't hesitate! =)

Ok a few questions, diet soda specifically diet coke doesn't effect insulin? Because I hear from Dr. Fung first soda can cause a insulin spike greater then sugar. Second the items in your ok list won't effect me achieving autophagy? Third is a friend started a water fast but with coconut water included and from anything I read coconut water has calories. So what do you think. Right now I do water fasts and if it's long fasts a week or more I do a dry fast during a water fast of a day. Thanks!

max hunter I agree. Now neuroscientist Tamas Horvath, of Yale University in New Haven, and colleagues report in Nature that nerve cells called pro-opiomelanocortin (POMC) neurons play a key role in this process. POMC had generally been thought to promote satiation, but Horvath's team found that POMC neurons in the brain release not just a hunger-suppressing hormone, but also one that promotes appetite. Which hormone is secreted is regulated by a protein in the cells' mitochondria, structures that regulate energy levels. When the CB1 receptor is activated, this mitochondrial protein induces POMC to switch from secreting the substance that suppresses gorging to one that supresses it. Both β-endorphin and α-MSH are in fact derived, via cleavage, from the same precursor protein-POMC, after which the neurons are named. For this reason, Horvath had suspected long ago that POMC neurons might both stimulate and suppress appetite. However, he dropped this early theory after an abundance of experimental evidence suggested otherwise. Indeed, even when β-endorphin itself is deleted from POMC neurons in mice, said Cone, you get “animals that are hyperphagic and obese.” I think an argument can be made that, as long as one can overcome the munchies, smoking marijuana should actual help fasting. If your body is saying it is hungry then wouldn't it consume what is available?

Hello Thomas! I've been following and watching your videos for quite a while and I've decided to try intermittent fasting. I was wondering since lemon is ok, and water is ok, would it be ok to drink lemon water through out the fast as a regular drink? Or will the constant supply of lemon water break my fast? I know you covered just a tablespoon of lemon juice, but I'm asking about sliced lemon in water throughout the fasting period

I have the same question. I ingest 1-2 drops in 40 oz water during my fasted state. Does it affect insulin levels/break a fast?

@ThomasDeLauer, when talking about the increase in insulin sensitivity that occurs with intermittent fasting, is that something that increases permanently, or is it only (or mostly) something to consider when breaking a fast? More specifically, should you avoid eating carbs+fats at the same time for good, or is it mainly something to avoid when breaking a fast?

Thank you!! Can you have a bit of honey in the tea?? And what about juice of ginger or even powder with lemon for tea and what about mint tea and herb teas like turmeric, cinnamon powders strained for tea. I truly look forward to hearing from you!!

This was very helpful as I just started doing 16/8 fasting. 2 questions please" 1.) does Advil/ibuprofen break a fast? 2.) I like to fruit infuse my water. So lemon slices or whole strawberries into an infuser water bottle. Will that break a fast? I'm guessing lemons no, strawberries yes because of the chance I might drink a piece of one. Thank you!

Hey there. Thanks for all your great videos.

Good video as always dude, very informative, felt a bit guilty for having a Diet Coke last night when I was in my fast but now you’ve put my mind at ease a bit. Been watching for quite a while now but I’ve only started to truly implement your methods over the past ten weeks. I’ve lost 12.8Kg’s so far. And I’d just like to say thanks Thomas for all the awesome videos. Take care, Craig.

Thank you so much for this. I've watched a lot of these "does it break a fast" videos and I think that this one by far is the clearest and most concise. I really appreciate all that you do. You're videos are very helpful and I think it's generous of you to take the time to research and create them for our benefit. Also, I adore your dogs! They're absolutely beautiful. Australian Shepherds?

Dietsoda's do increase insulin. A study was done in men harvesting sugar canes. Some got coke, some got dietcoke. Both groups harvested more sugar canes after the drink, but the latter group had a major crash and got less productive. The theory behind it is that the pancreas starts releasing insulin as soon as the sugary taste is noted. The insuline lowers the (low) present bloodsugar because the body is expecting a replenishment. When the expected sugar doesnt come in, bloodsugar has crashed which causes fatigue and cravings. You could say that this does not affect the fast as long as you withstand your cravings, but it does effect the way the body reacts. The increase in glucose causes an initial decrease in glucagon which is the hormone that helps mobilize fatty acids and glycogen. Afterwards, glucagon will spike due to the low blood sugar, but you end up feeling pretty bad in between. This being said; Isn't it better not to drink dietsoda's? And another question: I dont like coffee so i take caffeine in pillform. It has a gelatine capsule. Does 1 really break the fast? If i take the capsule at 12, when i break my fast, i wont be able to sleep.

Is there a way to consume "too much" stevia while fasting? I am from the south and sweet tea runs through my veins. I used to make a 1 gallon jug of sweet tea, with 1.25 cups of sugar in it. Needless to say it was quite sweet, but not like McDonalds sweet tea, sweet. I just made my first gallon of tea with stevia. using about 1.25 teaspoons for the whole gallon. Will drinking a few glasses of this in a night have any adverse effects? I also just bought (based on your videos) some Zevia organic tea. Am I safe to drink this while fasting? Should I only consume 1 can? or is 2 cans throughout the day ok? Thanks so much!

I have a question about coconut water as I usually have it before and during my weight training mixed with water (50/50) so would like to know if coconut water is a go OR a no go?

Black coffee doesn't raise insulin, it raises cortisol, so technically it doesn't break your fast. Cortisol and Insulin are the 2 hormones that store fat & prevent fat burning. That's why there's a lot of people who recommend water first thing in the morning and waiting for breakfast to have your coffee.

My favorite non-caffeinated tea is Celestial Seasonings Cinnamon Apple Spice. The ingredients are: Cinnamon, hibiscus, chamomile, natural cinnamon and apple flavors with other natural flavors, roasted chicory, orange peel and roasted carob. I bet this probably doesn't break a fast. But I wonder what the hormonal impact of the ingredients is. It would be interesting to watch a video on teas and flavored beverages and their effects. What dosage of tea would cause a material effect. Even green tea is suppose have a negative effect on test.

Dr. Fung disagrees..... there’s 2 types of fasting (weight loss or autophagy) so....... you can do BPC IN MODERATION but for autophagy ZERO calories. This is because mct, coconut oil, HWC won’t cause a rise in insulin ....

Hey Thomas, love your videos although I did have a question about MCT oils and breaking a fast...although they are calories I've read that they do not spike your insulin, keep autophagy going and also increase ketones in the blood.

"Despite having a minimal effect on blood sugars, both aspartame and stevia raised insulin levels higher than even table sugar."

Appetite. 2010 August; 55(1):37-43 Dr. Fung also points out that there are conflicting studies on this and that at times, you will need to determine who paid for the study to help determine its validity.

The oils may break the fast but trace minerals maybe not especially if they are in liquid/ionic form but just a guess i'm not 100% sure myself. Just take D and Omegas with meals and the rest with meals you don't need them as your body adapts to fasting you load up the night before and get daily sun way better than vitamin D.

Multivitamins at least the ones that I have bought would be a no go, they contain carbs from fruit concentrates, and apparently gelatin carries non essential amino acids namely glycine, glutamic acid, proline, and alanine (I looked it up) so gelatin would be ok since it doesn’t carry leucine which Tom mentioned causes a spike.

Capsules have usually carriers which can break fasting, so it's better to use supplements in forms of pure powders. Omega 3's are basically fats, so can break fasting. Calcium, minerals - don't break fast (if in "pure" forms). Vitamins are often made in capsules with other carriers like fats or forms of sugars. Gelatin is basically protein, so if BCAA makes little spikes in insulin level then it might too.

Noo, there's dextrose in my magnesium supplement! I took a tablet both days I've been fasting and still whacked off 2 lbs. Should I keep taking it? How will this affect autophagy?

Thank you so much for your work! Does Monk Fruit break a fast? And, how many servings?

I have same exact question, for Monk Fruit,

So pure glutamine is OKAY during the fasting? For example to drink it in the morning after wake up? My morning routine is water + Himalayan salt + a few drop of lemon and I will be happy to add the glutamine :) Please thomas let me know ;) thx a lot

I don't know if Tom is correct on this. According to this article Glutamine can raise blood glucose not what you want during fasting: www.livestrong.com/article/530466-glutamine-and-your-blood-sugar/

I was wondering about creatine! I was playing it safe and not using it on my fasting days! But now I know better. This is indeed the complete guide to what breaks a fast and not. I was also surprised to see exogenous ketones there, do they have calories? And would they be considered a fat macro? I don't take them, but am just curious. Thanks for the great video!

Hey Teamsters, so exercising. The only time i can really do exercise is within my feeding window. Is this good/bad or otherwise? Should i move my window to be able to exercise before or after feeding ? FIDK

Aspartame (diet soda) is an amino acid so while it is non-caloric it will likely inhibit autophagy if that is one of the reasons you’re doing a longer fast- fasting has actually help me rid myself of my diet soda addiction
