Hey Thomas, Can you do an update on this video, kzbin.info/www/bejne/p57MkpiZnp6XidU You were sharing biohack on taking advantage of insulin sensitivity. I understand new info is always coming out :)

[@user-gs2pq1up6y]

Hi, is egg whites a lean protein to break intermittent fasting?

[@boxadorsrus5991]

Thanks, Thomas. I have now joined your email list. BTW, I recently took your advice and ditched my low carb (Walmart) shakes. Although they're sweetened with Inulin, they contain whey protein concentrate, which you have said evokes an insulin response much higher than "table" sugar.

[@jordanabeaulieu2530]

In another video you said that we could break a fast with a few shrimps with some rice noodles but here you said to avoid shellfish. You also said to avoid lean beef in another video when breaking fast, I am really confused 🤪

[@TeknoTim2002]

Very impressive! I hope to get there. I just completed 42 hour fast two days ago, which is first time I've ever gone an entire day, let alone the entire next morning, without any calories. I wasn't sure if I could make it one day, but herbal teas and green tea kept my mouth's need for pleasant tastes satisfied, and I kept my mind motivated on the end result by watch Thomas' and other videos on the benefits of fasting, and tips on how to do it well. Also some exercise and dancing to my KZbin music video lists kept my mind on other things, along with my job. Now that you and I have accomplished this, we can stretch ourselves further. I have much further to go than you, but by learning what others have accomplished, and seeing what I've done in 6 weeks since beginning intermittent fasting and lower carb diet proves we can keep getting better and better at this lifestyle adjustment.

[@dishapatel365]

Foods to Avoid: (1) Foods with high glycemic load - Have a little bit of sodium in your blood prior to breaking your fast - Avoid 25G plus carbs (2) Almonds and Cashews (3) Shellfish (4) Saturated Fats - avoid MCT oil - use olive oil instead (5) Vegetables - especially insoluble fiber: kale, celery, carrots etc. - avoid salad! In short, avoid carbs and break your fast with lean protein!

Pre-loading with sodium before breaking fast is something I had not thought of. I tend to add minerals to my water when I fast, but I will certainly make this change. Also the list is an excellent guide on how to not hurt yourself unintentionally breaking a fast. Thanks Thomas!

[@modelsupplies]

Me, too. This struck me as very easy to implement and sounds like it can make a huge difference. I'm excited to try it tomorrow.

[@tripperdan]

@@river4462 so when you fast you use distilled water? you do not replentish minerals (just kidding, like you mention, just add a little)? I always add minerals to my water (himalayan salt usually). but would add that those on limited salt diets tend to die younger too. I agree, anything taken to the extreme is a problem. Moderation and balance is key

I'm glad you've found your path and also have (like me) raise children to reflect wise choices. I will say my choices have evolved over the years since the 70's.

With quarterly extended fast (5 to 8 days). No adult beverages except on special occassions (fine dinner or on a cruise having a fine meal). I haven't smoke in over 45 years but I am pondering a pipe. I might wait about 10 more years and then consider it again. Since I get to hunt wild game, we also have quality meats.

I break my extended (2 day) fasts with a pack of high quality imported sardines packed in olive oil (from Portugal). They are a bit more expensive than the ones in US grocery stories, but the quality of the product and the taste makes it worth the extra cost. It definitely works for me, lost 82 lbs so far this year and have 23 left to reach my goal.

Hey everyone! I am a MD at NYU Langone in manhattan. I love Thomas’ incredibly well researched videos. Big props! The thiamine deficiency stuff is so interesting.

you can always abuse your body... especially when you're young, but it's still biologically stressful... many diseases people suffer from, were the result of doing something "harmless" but consistently for 20-30 years... it's a cumulative effect... like putting a little money in the bank (or taking it out...) It's not the amount, it's the regularity over time that creates the effect... (in this case, wealth or poverty)

Hi Thomas, great video. A while back you did a video about what to break your fast with depending on your goals, and you considered three goals, longevity, fat loss, and muscle growth. You said if you're goal is fat loss, then keto coffee is the best thing to break your fast with, bone broth is best if you're going for longevity and lean protein is best if you're going for muscle growth. In this video, you say you don't recommend saturated fats, even MCT oil, for fast breaking. My goal is weight loss, so my question is, have you changed your mind about breaking a fast with keto coffee? (I should specify that I'm strictly keto during my feeding windows and my goal is fat loss) Thanks man

[@theentrepreneur607]

Do whatever your body feels good with ! Some people need more carbs to get by, others need less. Fruits in moderation is a must in peoples diet , nothing wrong with that.

I like that you mention refeeding. Technically refeeding syndrome also is characterized by rapid drop in serum K+, Mg in addition to Na. It is actually the rapid drop in K+ that can be the most dangerous effect of refeeding due to its effect on cardiac function. We supplement and replace these (IV infusion or by mouth) to correct the depletion during refeeding. I work as a dietitian in intensive care and we see this all the time. Typically occurs after 3-4 days of inadequate nutrition (or fasting as well) and happens very shortly after reintroducing nutrients info the body

If I do OMAD, I eat a large low carb high fat meal with a bulletproof coffee. I don't get hungry until hour 21 or 22 and only for like 5 minutes or less

[@blurry599]

He explains foods to beak the fast. That’s doesn’t mean you can’t eat all the food intake at a later period following the fast break. So say eat some salmon or chicken small portion. Let your body start the digestive process. Then 30min to an hour later eat all you want. The point is what is the very first food your gut is taking first to prepare it for a proper meal

That doesn't really make sense to break a fast with coffee lol.

It took me sometimes to piece together the finer details of prolonged fasting. I take 1 to 1.5 teaspoons of a high quality salt during a fast. Preferably pink Himalyan, but any high quality salt with high mineral content will do. And herbal tea. The salt water made all the difference in the world. And breaking the fast was the most difficult part to nail down. Lean protein is _always_ my go to. However, I like to start with bone broth first if I can.

This does not add up. On the other video in april you mentioned that breaking a fast (for woman) with Shellfish is very good because of the iodine, zinc, etc.....

[@Nerbert]

Exactly! In the other "what I love to break my fast with" to. Also he said eat mct. Don't understand how he can change completely in 10 months. How is it in another 10?

[@oohwha]

In his defense, he *DOES* specifically mention you can supplement zinc to combat hypothyroidism if you can't/don't want shellfish... so at least there's options. His focus is on zinc and thyroid function, so his heart is in the right place... sometimes nutrition is about the lesser of 2 evils and it's not always a win-win.

[@nicolelock3406]

I was thinking’s the same. Not to mention I had some prawns to break my fast just before I watched this video.

[@OffTheGrid1982]

Bone broth, egg whites, turkey, lean chicken, lean fish. My top 5. I have a question for you Thomas, for someone who does 18/6 4 or 5 days a week, how do you feel about supplementing with electrolytes during the fast. Specifically Magnesium Sodium Potassium?

[@niomicristina2885]

I saw a video by him yesterday where he gave an hour by hour of what to have during a 20 hour fast. He added to have electolytes as well as magnesium during the fasting hours.

Hmmmm. I was breaking my fast (Omad) with oysters, herring and sardines (with sea kelp) because of your other video that said to do that. I’m glad to have the clarification. I did experience B1 deficiency side effects, I’m not quite fat adapted and almost out of IR, but not quite, plus I’m very sensitive. This is good information for me and I appreciate it sincerely

[@nicoletakasamas9201]

Lore M : which are the symptom of B1 defincency please?

[@spinnettdesigns]

@@nicoletakasamas9201 the way I found out was watching a Dr Betg video on how to diagnose decencies. He has several, just look him up here on KZbin. That said, cracked heels are one sign. Skin issues are often B, C and D but it’s quite complicated. Dry cuticles are biotin. Bleeding gums and bruises are Vit C. Red eyes are kidney and liver I think. I saw a young Indian man who had a similar video. There are many, so look around here, you’ll find them.

Hey Thomas, loving your videos. I am a 40 year old vegan female who is on day 5 of intermittent fasting. I see you are not as strict as Dr Sten Ekberg which is a relief being vegan although I appreciate all his knowledge aswell. You just make it a little easier :) What would you recommend as a lean vegan protein to break the fast? What about pea protein powder? The one I have has 8 grams of protein per serving (1 tablespoon.)

[@tarski3939]

I’m sure you’ve tried it by now but yes, that will work just fine. It’s what he actually recommends in another video in your case.

[@biscottone3357]

Pea proteine

[@Somebodysomewheresometime]

But why would you fast and be all pure to just add mega processed “foo”? It doesn’t make sense to do all that work restoring yourself to just put lab food back into it the first thing?

[@modelsupplies]

I don't think Dr Sten Ekberg was ever obese, so Thomas' first-hand experience is invaluable.

Thomas, a lot of us are on OMAD keto (one meal a day), we dont have another meal after to leave saturated fats and shell fish to. We may cook our only meal with coconut oil, and our only meal is likely to have eggs, some beef/chicken/fish and vegetables. How do we apply the principles that you teach on this video, to our only meal? Please help.

im going to assume you do it like me and fast for 23h then you do 1h feeding window. you can break your fast as he says in the video, and then half hour later, just eat your main meal :) I found this worked for me while doing omad

[@corinthiangroupsprivateinv3886]

What to eat to break a 20-24 hour fast doing OMAD? I drink 1/2 gallon water with lemon juice and pink Himalayan Sea Salt before noon. Then I work out later afternoon and drink Bulletproof coffee during my workout and then break my fast completely with some beef jerky minutes before my 1st meal dinner which is typical a big salad and a keto type meal. Sometimes within the 4 hour feeding time I'll eat strawberries and cream. A video about this would be helpful. Thanks for all your wisdom and insight

[@goofyaughhsound2245]

They are ok for keto (if not overconsumed) but why wouldn't it break a fast? It obviously triggers a insluin response like anything else with calories would. No calories during a fast or it is no fast (except 1 calorie from green tea or black coffee, since that is not enough of a cause for your body to respond)

Today we need a college degree in fasting! My mom fasted one or twice a week for religious purposes made it so easy and lived to 96, my grandmother who lived to 95 did the same. One thing I can tell none of them ate candy like products, Pasta like products, or juice/soda like products. I never saw them eat fast foods, They never had snack times! Lots of coffee, milk and teas I saw, and small meals and never ever saw them eat after 5pm, I saw them eat breakfast, lunch and dinner. And yes I never saw my mom or grandma do exercises other than their daily work! and yet they lived a long and healthy life....The simple problem is we over eat like cows and horses 😂 Today we make fasting so complicated... I think we are trying to monetize fasting someway or another... My mom or grandma would have laughed seeing this videos😂

He has very situational videos that he usually says are situational. For example "for weight loss to break a fast with MCT." What if youre already at your ideal weight? Lean protein, ESSENTIALLY.

Hey Thomas, I love you’re content. My question about breaking the fast is, I know you said chicken, beef or fish first but does that mean now in the same meal with as a salad or carbs? Meaning is it that I just have to make sure that the first few bites are chicken or is it that I only eat chicken for that meal? Thx.

[@BydoEmpire73]

So... how long after breaking you fast can you actually eat (veggies, more carbs, more fats, etc)? I suppose it depends what your fasting goals are, but would it be better (autophagy, fat burning, etc) to do a shorter fast 16-17h broken with lean protein, or do a 20+h fast with a more balanced, larger meal.

[@Lightonahill25]
