3 Spices That Make Fasting Work Better (Consume During a Fast)

[@The_Hip_Vet]

I love fasting. I fast 22:2. Sometimes it changes due to work but I'm usually very accurate to the hour. 2 cups of black coffee a day, and I've successfully handled my eating habits. Next, get to my goal weight, and stop smoking as well. We got this, keep pushing

[@The_Hip_Vet]

I fast 7 days a week, no cheat days.

[@andyvankerkhove6902]

same here... keto-OMAD 22/2 6 weeks now... lost 32 pounds... still 42 to go... and stop smoking.... from Spain

[@ClarkPotter]

Do keto and kick the coffee. You don't need it.

[@josaywhat]

I'm on my 6th day of fasting out of 21 people 😀 feeling good, and wish me luck whoever sees this...EDIT: Yep success 🙂 from late-June to mid-July did a 20 day fast! Lost 30 lbs not too bad

[@ClarkPotter]

Wtg! I've done a 21-day before as well and loved it, too. 27lbs.

[@betociscomani]

Hi Thomas ! I have been fasting for one year now, on may 2020, I started IF, but the hunger went away and I started prolonged fasting, first for 3 days, then 5 days for a month, then 12 days, 12 days and 21 days, lost 30 kilos in 2 1/2 months , after refeed and some days later I gained 7 kilos. I started 2-3 days of fasting for 2 months, i was 143 kilos when I started, and I’m 6’2, I went down to 106 kilos, but I gained weight right away 7 kilos after I went back eating and 5 more in 6 months, even though I did keto and IF almost everyday, some months I go for 5 days or 10 days of prolonged fasting, I have been doing 18 hr IF and lifting weights right before my first meal and I have gain lots of muscle I asume due to the HGH in the 18 hr fast, but 2 months ago I’ve notice that I am gaining weight even though I’m doing 2 days water fast every week and eating around 2000 cal, because my stomach can take any more food, some times I do 1 meal and a bullet proof coffee, because it’s too much food. I have done 170 days of water fast in 400 days in total, and taking my electrolytes and teas (ginger, turmeric, green and black teas, etc). In this last 2 months I’ve gained 2 inches in my stomach, doing everything right, now I move to eating my 3 meals a day and trying to eat 3000 calories a day to see if I lowered my BMR of too much fasting, I hope I start seeing some results, I think my body is storing everything I eat in my belly as a distribution center. Do you have any thoughts ? I recently did a 10 day water fast and only lost 1.5 kilos after refeeding, that’s why I am concern ! And some weeks not eating for 2 days and gaining weight in those weeks! Hope you can read this post and give me your feedback, thanks I have lost my weight by using your info in your videos , thnx for sharing your knowledge 👍🏻 !!! I’m very greatfull !!!

Hi Thomas from 🇬🇧! They all think we’re nuts over here fasting! Thank you so much for all your info. It’s so helpful when you’re trying to squeeze the most out of IF and just trying to inch off the last tiny bit of stubborn weight! What I’d love, is if you did a vid on adding spices to drinks during a fast vs adding to food in your eating window.

By and large you won't find any of those specialties, nor MDs, trained in nor even conversant in anything except pharmaceuticals. My long, varied and extensive experience , bolstered by study ,is that they are not only likely to be wholly ignorant of such things, but steeped in very bad information as well. My experience of such is that they are counterproductive and give bad advice.

[@moralybankrupt3653]

Two questions; can you use ground ginger in coffee and what is the amount per fast you can use?

[@MF9000]

For those interested, Ginger People brand makes both Ginger Juice (organic and non-organic) and Turmeric Juice. I use ginger juice and it's way more easier to put in coffee, tea or water than having to either sprinkle dried ginger or slice up and brew ginger root. You can find these on a certain site run by a laughing billionaire who recently went to space. Just FYI.

[@argentgrove]

Regarding cinnamon, does this mean we should also avoid having cinnamon with fat when not fasting because of the similar effect to insulin?

[@bunjicarlin1]

So I want to be clear...injesting turmeric and ginger during a fast will NOT break my fast? Is this correct info?

[@kimk8869]

What are the quantities that we use of each herb? How do you like adding it to your fast? In Tea? Water? 🤔

[@Scott_C]

Depends on how much you want to change the flavor. I'll addas much as a half a teaspoon of turmeric and a full teaspoon of ginger to a 12-16oz coffee. With tea too, but the drink volume is less.

[@jayne2467]

There’s a difference between Herbs and Spices. Herbs use generously to your own tastes. Best not to boil them. But pour, boiling water over them, allow 3 to five minutes for the full pleasant potent benefits to come out. Spices are completely different. Use modestly, for if used too much, they become toxic to your system. Now this is only different if you grew up in a culture that used a Spice everyday, in many meals and drinks. But if just beginning your relationship with a Spice, then go slow, don’t over do it. Just follow typical recipe styles. 1/8, 1/4, 1/2 teaspoons for each Spice. Combine as you will. Remember food can cause a problem, and food can heal a problem. A pinch can be nice too. 🙂🥰🤓😎
