What BREAKS A FAST and what DOES NOT BREAK A FAST? | Intermittent Fasting Complete Guide

[@laceybaier_]

I know you probably have a TON of questions on Intermittent Fasting and what foods do/don't break a fast so I hope I answered many of your questions in this video. Comment below and let me know if there's anything I didn't mention in the video so we can add to our list! xoxo

[@bodyfordays]

A Sweet Pea Chef would you like to do a collaboration

[@popoffsylvanian]

Does mct oil and coconut oil but no butter in coffee affect Autophagy? I know it helps Ketosis but I’m just checking on the Autophagy thing. Thanks

[@angelawarner2092]

A Sweet Pea Chef some of my morning pills I take lists rice flour and gelatin as an ingredient. Would these trigger the release of insulin. I prefer to take my meds early morning on an empty stomach. These are my pre and probiotic and my turmeric supplement pills. Started increasing my intermittent fasting time but want to make sure I am. To breaking my fast with taking my pills during my fasting morning period. Thanks.

[@meshellewokepoet6694]

Will MCT oil break your fast??

[@rosheaduncan1595]

What about ACV gummies?

[@takingdownfatwithcdub7806]

I lost 125 pounds using Intermittent fasting and I will never eat another way

[@laceybaier_]

Awesome - congrats!

[@StopSelfDoubting]

Was it hard the first few weeks?

[@puffbuttercup7772]

how many months

[@ItsMista_2u]

@@StopSelfDoubting its tough if you're used to eating whatever, wherever. Example: i do the 12/7 window. Meaning i dont eat anything before noon, and nothing after 7. If you're used to eating breakfast early, you may have headaches for the 1st few days. But as the week(s) go on, your body will slowly get used to the changes. But after the 1st week, you should be good

[@StopSelfDoubting]

itsMista 2u You’re absolutely right. It was tough the first week. And it’s even harder when my period is about to come on 😩. But I’ve been pushing through without giving in. Thanks so much.

[@bodyfordays]

While fasting I was drinking a Starbucks coffee in the morning. Tons of sugar! I changed that to black coffee. I post 7 pounds the first week! I agree I have a clear head when fasting. I did some vlogs about fasting and when I was doing it.

[@laceybaier_]

Isn't it crazy how just a simple change can make such a difference?

[@UV0023]

Informative, direct to the point with no BS Thank you

[@laceybaier_]

Yay! So glad you think so!

[@linabingbing3881]

I love this ladies way of explaining things and her genuine expression. She's not fake over the top or trying to impress us with useless info. I'm actually learning what's beneficial for me to learn.

[@Mwilder05]

you can tell it's passion!

[@tutushale]

I really want to watch and hear your videos. However the music is loud and distracting. It would be so much better not having loud music in the background. Thank you for sharing your story, just wish the videos could be heard.

[@j7ndominica051]

As with comments on other videos, I do not hear the music. Perhaps you have some stereo enhancement filter active. However, I do find the DING too loud and gimmicky. I'm a little irritable now without food.

[@PCTLadyPuterTutor]

Are you using ear buds? I can hear the music with the ear buds, but not so much with listening through the speaker itself.

[@julietaferrario4934]

My new iphone13 pro max hears the music .

[@staciericardo]

Actually aspartame is in equal. Saccharin is in sweet n low.

[@prettyrealist]

Very helpful video! I just started keto and I’m in my second week. I don’t get hungry until 1-3pm but it’s great news to know that I can drink my coffee with swerve and coconut and not break my fast.

[@kimberlyd317]

Wow finally a great explanation. Thrilled I found your channel. Thank you❣️

[@bestoboth]

Great video, but one thing: Aspartame is NOT Sweet-N-Low (the pink stuff), it is EQUAL (the blue stuff) and is not a carcinogen, whereas Sweet-N-Low (the pink stuff) is saccharine, which HAS been shown to be carcinogenic (tied to increased incidence of cancer in mice).... Other than that, like I said, great video and very helpful!

[@christanrousey1347]

Agree!!!

[@melissalee2166]

I find collagen to be extremely helpful while fasting. For autophagy I take systemic enzymes every morning with a glass of water.

[@ZARia99999]

Thank you so much for this clear explanation, especially on the sweeteners. I learnt a ton.

[@mjtunall]

Thank you so much for this video I learned a lot about intermittent fasting i will support your channel. Stay safe and healthy c”)

[@inkandgrowrich9793]

OMG you are a god send! You have answered so many of the questions that I have been scouring the internet for. I totally appreciate you!

[@jonbank7569]

I dropped my A1C from 13 to 6.5 by intermittent fasting in 4 months. I refuse to take insulin.

[@marywanjiku8338]

New study shows that bone broth only a cup will not break your fast,it also shows that an egg half an avocado will not kick you out of autophagy.they are called fasting snacks but can be taken after 12 or 24 hrs while on prolonged fasts.

[@taneyat6_33]

Great explanation using Ketosis VS. Autophagy. I did IMF & lost a good amount of weight still having my bulletproof coffee. However, I know if I want to go into autophagy I cannot. On another note, I was told that autophagy only kicks in after a total fast being done for like 2 days in a row?

[@joliearytravels]

I was doing a fast with herbs and water, I just made watermelon juice, I hope I didn’t Stop Autophagy.

[@kathycook591]

What about unsweetened almond milk?

[@blizzardbeach6301]

Yes, that will break a fast.

[@cacampbell3654]

I’m just coming off three days of fatigue and four nights of not being able to sleep til 3 in the morning after having ONE cup of either decaf or regular coffee before 3 in the afternoon for the two days prior. I don’t need any help with fasting in the morning. But from noon til 4 I appreciate something that helps me with hunger. It’s frustrating that coffee is so helpful in one way. So unhelpful in others!

[@tamihirahowell7782]

Love this video thanks for the info... what about celery juice will that break your fast?? Not store brought home made

[@hanonmera8092]

yes it does dear.

[@chuckredd9131]

Sucralose found in Listerine: "A study found that sucralose increased blood glucose levels and insulin levels while decreasing insulin sensitivity. sucralose is about 600 times sweeter than sugar."

[@lovekindness5637]

How about after my fast marble rye bread good for sandwich? Egg or tuna sandwich thank you loved the video. I mostly just drink water can be cold or hot green tea with lemon or garlic or ginger. Hope this is okay

[@sandyvdh6226]

Having little to no CARBS aka whole wheat bread is very much influencing your Blood clotting as are eating tons of cabbage and spinach ( pex daily in a smoothie) , seeds and some nuts ( however healthy amounts should only be 20 ish grams = 4 to 5 nuts) and having - more than average- amounts of oats like every 2 days..... Something seemingly healrhy can actually HARM u a lot when you have a chronic disease... So be aware and DONT DO WATER FASTING IF low carb diet cabbage soup diet etc . .. just " to try it out " ...but always inform your doctors/ specialists when trying to pex go low carb or high protein diet....sth as tiny as a detox tea can have HUGE effects on whichever meds you are taking.!! would u want to get into hospital / at your doctor s because u started taking weird supplements or weird teas...becayse i need to lose thise 4 /6 kgs to fit into those dresses shorts skirts summer outfit ....

[@FFO81]

Hey Lacey, thank you so much for this information, it is very helpful. I was wondering, do you know an specific brand of toothpaste that we can use while fasting?

[@TexasRibeye817]

Great work on this video; very informative

[@laceybaier_]

Thank you so much!

[@marypatton1122]

What breaks a fast? Eating. How long will it take to say that? What do you eat during a fast??? Wha...?

[@twinklestar620]

Mary Patton 😂😂😂😂

[@marwaayaanle3804]

😂🤣

[@tiffanypetrucci4572]

Hello. I was wondering what foods are good to break your fast since eating your first meal of the day can be too much when your body is in a faster state and can result in weight gain. I'm looking for something good to eat to break my fast prior to eating my first meal of the day. Or is that not necessary? Thank you for your video. It was very helpful and informative

[@lesleyclaster6878]

As one vlogger offered, our body craves nutrients after the fast, so it will absorb anything thrown into it at the get go. Ugh to grabbing a biscuit! My problem is getting so busy in the morning that I forget to break my fast (I'm working on that for consistency). I can be voracious when I enter the kitchen! Nutrition flies out the window. I help that by preparing a green smoothie--up to adding the liquid--sometime in the morning. As soon as I remember to eat, I pour in the liquid, add optional ice, blend, then drink. That gives me a couple of hours to intentionally plan and prepare healthy meals/snacks in the eating window I have left. Shortening that planned eating window by 'forgetting' to eat is totally counterproductive to IF success for me.

[@latoyasinclair1927]

Fasting definitely works alongside a healthy eating plan

[@CulinaryGuide]

This video is full of good information but, the music is distracting.

[@andreachristopher8586]

Just want to add Equal is aspartame Sweet n low is sacharrin Otherwise great information!!! I have tried intermittent fasting.. it works, but its hard for me to stick with anything like that for a long period.... but good luck to everyone who is and all those that are trying....

[@shawnasmith8628]

What about coconut water... ? Its my first Fast.. Im fasting breakfast. So my first meal will be at 1pm

[@tanashathomas7601]

What about Metamucil (fiber supplement)?!

[@samzee7747]

Hi lacey. I newly found you channel. I love how pertinent n accurate you are. Practical is what most of us need. I just wish the music could be turned down, its quite loud. Thanks for listening.

[@blingbling3730]

When I add lemon to my water , I add a tablespoon of a lemon mixture I make with water and a whole lemon. I peel my lemon if it’s not organic and put in my Bullet with water and liquify it. Then use 1 or 2 TBSP in a glass of water. WILL THAT BREAK MY FAST?

[@ashleycombs9683]

Just found your channel today. This is one of the most informative videos I've seen. Thank you so much

[@shreeyasawale1859]

Hi Lacey, Thank you so much for inspiring me!!! I'm on my Intermittent fasting journey. I do love your videos and keep the motivation coming :) My question: On a fast day, can be consuming 1-2 glass of homemade buttermilk [ Curd+water+salt+cumin seeds] will break my fast????????? Especially when I'm in the fat-burning stage and moving towards Autophagy???????? Waiting for your reply!! Thank you

[@sabretooth556]

First of all, thanks a ton for the information. Apologies in advance for asking something that sounds repetitive - but it wasn’t quite clear. Does pepper mint tea and/or camomile tea break fast? Thank You so much!

[@SummerBaby728]

People forget you can use vegan heavy cream. They always talk about heavy cream and it’s very iffy because of all the fat and calories but they never mention you can just use heavy cream made with coconut milk or almond milk and it’s like 15 calories and 0 carbs 0 fat. It’s in every supermarket.

[@smw4900]

Never heard of such a thing... I'm going to check that out. Thanks

[@Channelinterrupted]

In every single one

[@bobmason5957]

Loved the overview summary, what about fish oil , vitamin D or E? Will these supplements break a fast?

[@costantinearis]

I like to have an espresso coffee in the morning but with NO sugar? I add half a coffee spoon (a tiny tiny bit) I can't enjoy it bitter😢

[@aadamy]

The problem with aspartame has never been cancer. It causes neurological issues that including tenitis

[@shadanhasan8528]

Is Listerine mouthwash fast safe ? I did not see xylitol or dextrose in the ingredient list ? Same for regular Colgate toothpaste ? Any specific brand/type that you can recommend for both ? Thanks in advance !!

[@gildarichardson146]

Please lower the music Can’t hear you over it

[@shauna-leeventola6531]

How about Ginger that I add to my ACV drink in the morning?

[@laceybaier_]

Tea with added ground ginger, like cinnamon, shouldn't break a fast and actually will help make you feel full. I'd avoid eating chunks of ginger, though, but a little dash in your drink should be fine.

[@mrsdaws7066]

Wow I really learned something today as I ran across your video, and a women that is new to intermittent fasting . I did not know that toothpaste breaks a fast..here I’m thinking I’m doing everything correctly and I find out this. Now I’m really going crazy.. HELP can someone recommend a toothpaste and mouth wash please before I go any further.. thanks

[@orisleidysrodriguez4355]

I've been drinking 1 cup of coffee with sugar free creamer because i read on some blog that it doesn't break your fast but now I'm worried I may have been breaking my fast all along.

[@SanchoBohemian007]

Youll be fine. Just use raw stevia.

[@karenopena7296]

How about cucumber,mint, turmeric or ginger together with lemon water

[@ChrysWebb]

today is day one of my alternate day intermitted fasting and I didn't even think about toothpaste or mouthwash breaking my fast. How to combat this is brush my teeth the night before my fasting starts and dry brush in the morning (no toothpaste and no mouth wash).

[@cheryldh2580]

Chris L. Webb You can also try oil pulling with coconut oil before dry brushing in the morning.

[@roselindthomas1]

Love your channel. What about fresh celery juice first thing in the morning? Will that break a fast?

[@nemo7782]

Sweet-n-Low is saccharine. Aspartame is Nutrisweet/Equal. Very different.

[@shaakiracassim5144]

Great video,but plz cut out the horrible music,as its v hard to concentrate and hear u..great job ..hope to try I F soon

[@Gakkattack789]

How about L-Carnitine and CLA break a fast?. Thanks!

[@sarahwilson6363]

I can’t find another appropriate way to suggest this topic. Make a video discussing how you’d navigate this scenario: you forgot to bring lunch to work. There may or may not be a grocery store near by. You have 30 min and no way to cook items. You can’t eat again for many hrs. What do you pick?

[@jennysmalling6018]

Great information! I did start getting confused with breaking fast and or autophagy. You started off well, listing things that would not break fast but would stop autophagy and then you stopped talking about what would stop the autophagy, which I am definitely interested in. Perhaps this should have been broken in two parts or two video.

[@laceybaier_]

Yea, that part can get a little tricky. Basically any of the items in this video that had a green check wont affect autophagy, but many of the items that didn't have the green check with a ding will. I hope that helps make sense.

[@happyladiful]

Sweet n Low is not aspartame, Equal is. Sweet n Low is saccharine.

[@laceybaier_]

You're right - aspartame is also found in Equal, but it's in certain Sweet 'n Low options as well.

[@laurent.2350]

Aspartame is not in Sweet and Low, it is in Equal. Sweet and Low is saccharin.

Its not real clear to me about yes/no on collagen. I love my collagen intake in my coffee but it seems unclear if it 'breaks the fast' or is a bad idea overall during fasting.

Brilliant video thank you just a quick question does egg, tomato, cheese, unsweetened plain yoghurt kick you out of authopagy? How can you measure if your body is in ketosis without using ketosticks? Will appreciate your response

[@kimberlymbutler]

I think tomato would break it, pretty sure they have natural sugars.

[@castroscorner8466]

I am about to start my first 72 hour fast and wanted to know if Lavander Tincture will break my fast? I take about 4 - 6 ml 3 times a day for anxiety and better sleep. It's made from fresh Lavander leaves and Vodka 37,5 % Alcohol left to soak in a jar for about 6 weeks. Although by the end of the extraction process there is little to no alcohol left ( less than the amount of alcohol a banana has) I just wanted to make sure this won't negatively impact my fast?

If you're referring to cubed bouillon, then yes, I'd say it most likely will because it also contains additives, preservatives, and other chemicals that would trip a metabolic response. I'd stick with bone broth if you're looking to just attain fat burning while fasting.
