I like to add a cinnamon stick to my coffee and let it sit for a few minutes. No powdery residue, but lots of flavor. Then, I rinse it off and use it over again.

[@MelissaCapriotti]

I like to put the cinnamon right in with the coffee grinds so it brews with it. It makes the house smells so good too!

[@colin1818]

Solid idea. Thanks for sharing.

[@AutumnBates]

oh the cinnamon stick idea is great! I'll have to test that out.

[@markbubb9902]

I do this with the cinnamon stick as well but I stir it into my green tea. What a a great splash of flavor

[@kendrahamlin2846]

Ah this is awesome, thank you!! The cinnamon powder isn't my favorite but I love the flavor 😋

[@BougieBiz]

I hired a nutritionist a year ago after trying EVERYTHING to lose diet-resistant fat. She cost me a fortune but I never lost any weight. Told me I need to eat every two hours to lose but..duh, I gained. Fired her after I found this channel. SO MUCH INFO! I can't believe you give it away for free, but thank you!!!

[@debbyc.3954]

I had wanted to try intermittent fasting for a long time but didn't because I heard I'd have to drink my coffee black. But 6 weeks ago I started, and have been allowing myself 1 Tablespoon of half and half. I'm happy to say that I've lost 20 pounds in just 6 weeks and feel great! For me, the half and half in my coffee did not cause me to not lose weight.

[@Qandoluk]

Oh wow that's awesome weight loss how often are you IF? And how long?

[@debbyc.3954]

@@QandolukI drink 2 cups of coffee in the morning, lunch at noon (salad with tuna and cheese) nice sized dinner at 5:00, ending with some cheese to hold my appetite, and in the evening, just decaf coffee and some decaf tea with lemon. Works for me!

[@suzannecarrier287]

Congratulations.....and may i ask if you counted calories?

[@debbyc.3954]

@@suzannecarrier287 No I do NOT count calories, but I am naturally eating less because of the appetite control that intermittent fasting provides. I am now down 28 pounds in less than 3 months and feel great! I found Dr. Eric Berg's KZbin videos to be VERY helpful, especially his intermittent fasting videos for beginners!

[@drdawnshoptalk]

1 1/2 tablespoons of real cream (not half/half since that has carbs AND sugar) is exactly what I do and it’s awesome! Way to go! 🙌🏻I’ve lost 10.7 pounds in 8 1/2 weeks and have 18.6 more pounds to go! 👍🏻

[@EliWeeks]

I have wanted this info for YEARS, thank you!

[@Imom4Him]

Perfect!! Exactly what I needed to know ! Thank you Autumn!! 😊🐶💕🥥🧈 ☕️

[@deannavassallo9399]

I’m new to fasting and just came across your channel when searching for what I can put in my coffee. I’m not only addicted to caffeine, I’m addicted to creamer. 🤪. Nut pods are great. Thank you!

[@johnnyfoo8737]

OMG Im in love with you a nutritionists that gets it about fasting

[@davidperfette1425]

Thank you for that point on autophagy regarding coffee with cream. That was a very helpful detail and exactly what I was looking for!

[@AutumnBates]

Glad it was helpful!

[@venom23mx]

I was needing this video , I was afraid to put something on my black coffee that break my fast now I can make it more tasty , I’m gonna add song Monk fruit sugar and 2 teaspoons of half-and-half, thank you for the amazing tips

[@breathewellcoaching]

Thank you for these Tips Autumn! You have saved my morning coffee situation. I was not getting very much pleasure from black coffee now I sprinkle a bit of salt, cinnamon, and heavy whipping cream. It’s delightful. Also, I have been using your vanilla and chocolate protein powder. I love it I really like how easy it is to blend into things like Greek yogurt. The vanilla is probably my favorite. Thank you if anyone’s reading this and uses protein powder, I would highly recommend Autumns. I’ve been using protein powder for 20 years, so I have tried a lot of different types and I would put hers at the top of my list.

[@Gupta4298]

I was almost NOT doing this fasting bcs of the love for my coffee. Thanks for all the detailed explanations. Happy fasting ✌️

[@lyndastevens9726]

Just the info I needed to successfully get my morning started!❣️Thanks so much!😎

[@jadez57]

Just subscribed & referred your channel here to my fasting group on fb. Your vid’s are super informative! Thank you.🌻💖

[@chart2]

I use cinnamon and/or chipotle powder sprinkled along with a bit of cocoa powder.

[@donkorte80]

Try adding black pepper esp if you already adding cinnamon. Gives it a little more umph and has a number of health benefits.

[@Kas873]

Matcha Green Tea is also another natural source of L-theanine(& other great antioxidants)! I drink it instead of coffee bc anxiety. With nutpods and a couple drops of stevia! Yum!💚

[@12hunter100]

Same here, I haven't drank coffee for 2 weeks now because of anxiety. I ordered matcha with almond milk but it did have a little guava juice to sweetened it. I also been drinking a coffee alternative called Roma plain black.

[@lissetsanchez5316]

Wow! Thank you for commenting. Never thought to try Matcha green instead of coffee.

[@judierose7]

I use baking soda. It surprisingly sweetens the coffee if I don't use too much like 1/8th tsp.

[@mihaelap9281]

I always add in my coffee cup cinnamon, couple drops of vanilla and unsweetwned almond milk. You might be careful with any artificial sweetners, no matter how safe or natural, they can still spike insulin

[@georginamuns44]

Learned so much in this video! Thanks!💙💙

[@jacksyacrackers4935]

I love my coffee black but I'm grateful for this info. Thanks deary. 😊

[@twinsweare2]

I have dark brewed coffee during my fast but I tend to add about 4 to 5 tsp of heavy whipping cream.

[@Kimberleighkole]

SO glad I found this show, it will be my new best friend on the IF keto journey, ps LOVE the sweats 😃

[@AutumnBates]

Yay, welcome to my channel! So happy to have you here!🤓❤️

[@pcssc2634]

Thanks Autumn. Always love your vids. Never boring and so so informative. Keeping bring you!😄

Thank you so much!🤓❤️

[@GrammaPatriot]

OMG I just sat down to drink my tea that i really didnt want but i wasnt in the mood for coffee WITHOUT creamer! I thought oh man i would love a cup of coffee with creamer but it will break my fast…i get onto KZbin and this video of Autumn’s comes up…yay!!! I’m going to make me some coffee now…WITH CREAMER…thank you Autumn!

[@slh819]

Hi Autumn! Love all your videos and information, thank you so much! I was wondering if matcha breaks a fast. I prefer it over coffee in the am and was hoping these same add-ins could apply to my morning matcha. Would love to hear your thoughts, thank you! ~Sarene

[@dogrescuer1321]

Like your videos because you are real and get to the point very informative thank you. I have ataxia but am trying to stay in as good shape as I can, I'm learning how important nutrition/exercise and mental health are and you are helping thanks.

[@HalfLatinaJoy86]

Thanks! I'm excited because I just got heavy whipping cream Friday and since then its really kickstarted my Ketosis into high gear and my weight is no longer stagnant, even with the IF 16:8 I'd been doing for a few days in a row (I am charting it with an app I used to use a few years ago when I did Keto and IF in 2020 with success). I think I wasn't getting enough of the fats even though I was trying. Glad to know I can have coffee with heavy cream for my fast because that means I can have a cup now and not worry about it and still burn fat! I fixed a cup now with heavy whipping cream, vanilla, a dash of cinnamon, and a stevia erythritol packet. Thanks so much!

[@minkymandy6065]

Oh my goodness, I'm so glad I found you!!

[@nixxkids]

Autumn - thank you for the advice.I will subscribe to the channel and look forward to more great information.

[@sabrinaclive6246]

Autumn your content is so amazing ! Your energy .. enthusiasm is so lovely!! Thank you because I love waking up an listening to your content. Do you have anything in your playlist for people that work night shifts ? How to fast on a night shift? This is new to me at the age of 56 I became a bus operator ! My hormones are wacked and feel tired! I have iBS so I don’t eat during my shift but I drink Zevia energy drink only one and sometimes I eat Lily’s chocolate ! Lost some weight but now I think I am insulin resistant and stuck ! Should I have keto coffee instead of carbonated Zevia?

[@Estorium]

On L-Theanine, Caffeine and L-Theanine is considered the most basic yet one of the best nootropic stacks. Highly recommend it as it definitely helps with focus and alertness without the negative caffeine effects.

[@rebekah3483]

First video I've seen of yours and I just subbed. Gonna try intermittent fasting and need help with the know how's! Thanks for all of this!

[@terwya]

Cream or 1/2 & 1/2 that's what I needed to hear. Thanks

[@samikruse01]

I add powdered clove to my ground coffee that I brew in a french press. In my cup of morning coffee I add a dash of sea salt, ceylon cinnamon, a slight sprinkle of cayenne pepper and MCT oil.

[@1weazy291]

Thank you for that info!

[@dawudasha977]

Also how about Spirulina and Chlorella? Would those break a fast? Thank you for your info. Much appreciated.

[@DinaHavens]

Good Morning Autumn. What about MCT oil? Thanks again for everything! 🌱

[@markbubb9902]

Good to go with MCT…coconut oil is MCT. Full fat does not illicit an insulin response

[@bokofinn2690]

Glad to hear! I love cream in my coffee😁

[@civilizeddiva]

6:40: THANKS, Autumn!😊😃

[@Mindfully.Alex.]

As usual…AMAZING content!

[@haldalorian]

What about: butter, unsweetened cocoa powder, MCT oil? That's how I make my bulletproofs. The cocoa has around 1g net carb.

[@AyalahW]

Tysm! I’m on day 3 of a 72 hr fast.

[@karynmorrison2436]

I have made your keto coffee with a tsp of coconut oil and grass fed butter, so now you're telling me I can add a tbs of cream to that as well

[@shannonmichaud7037]

I have been using the monk fruit/eyrithritol of the lankanto or whole earth brands which i like much better than stevia. They have some good health benefits and the taste is great without the side effects of sugar I

[@Person-jn8pf]

This makes me so happy because it’s usually my coffee that is “breaking my fast” I switched to half and half and cut out real sugar 🙏🏼 Also I’ve never thought of adding ltheanine to my coffee! I take Gaba also I’m going to try this

[@michy2630]

Great video. I like cinnamon in my coffee. I don't like the taste of stevia. How does monkfruit taste? I just love the taste of sugar and finding an alternative that doesn't taste odd if so hard. For now, I'm using only cinnamon in my coffee and I can't wait to add vanilla extract tmrw am

[@d.wright3581]

HI Autum- I like to make my morning "coffee" with a couple mushroom late powders (Mud water and DOSE) and I also love to add cinnamon to my coffee. I then add in the Purity decaf and mix is all with the homemade coconut milk from your recipe with unsweetened organic coconut shreds blended with water and drained. Is this all ok you think? I just realized I have been adding in some collegan in recently so I will stop doing that in the morning coffee drink I make. Thoughts on the mushroom powders to my coffee? Sounds like coconut milk is ok though cause I am trying to eat less dairy. Thanks

[@geno5169]

I tried black coffee while I was fasting. I couldn’t do it, I used unsweetened almond milk. For a long time even at Walmart at Starbucks.

[@CassandraLag]

Do you have any videos where you discuss Torani or Matteo’s sugar-free syrups for coffee or sugar free syrups in general ! I use some with my coffee cause I just love vanilla coffee and like the nutrition facts on the bottles seem OK but I’m not a nutritionist !!

[@Kwize652]

Heavy Cream L theamine Stevia/ monk fruit Cinnamon Salt Almond milk Coconut cream Vanilla extract Coconut milk Coffee creamers

[@Tinbattad]

I am down to my second week of IF 😊 I feel great! Thought I wouldn’t be able to do it because I always like eating every 3-4 hours!😆

[@lauragb3677]

Excellent video and content. Thank you!

[@AutumnBates]

You're very welcome!

[@juliannadickinson1853]

I Use the Chai tea Option with Butter and coconut oil

[@AutumnBates]

Yes! Chai tea is a great option as well! I love having this during the fall months.

[@danielcharlebois1626]

Thank you so much for the video! Going to add a cream back into my coffee tomorrow morning. Looking forward to it!

[@darthcuny]

The explanation I heard for the whole salt making coffee taste sweeter is that your tongue picks up on saltiness more strongly than bitterness. The big reason for adding sugar to coffee is to make it less bitter as opposed to more sweet.

[@JennyLory]

Yeah, and for those of us that love the bitter taste of coffee, sugar RUINS coffee, 😂

[@terrificteri]

Exactly. When I make a pot of coffee I sprinkle salt on the grounds. . . . takes away the bitterness. Sometimes I add the cinnamon for flavor.

[@laurac86]

I’m definitely gonna try some salt in my coffee!!

[@cherylanderson72]

Oh gosh forgot to say thanks Autumn , you are such and upbeat informative gorgeous girl 🤩

[@toddelkins1201]

Hello Autumn, Can I use a vegan protein meal replacement along with intermittent fasting for weight loss? Do you have any videos on using a protein supplement?

[@stevenprebeg]

Great info!! U just gained a new subscriber lol. I’m a 16:8 faster and I swear by it now , lost 20 lbs doing it and the coffee part was most important since I wake up very early and need my coffee . Great to know what I can add to it to not break a fast and u surprisingly start to really get used to barely putting anything in it to still be satisfied . Thank you

[@AutumnBates]

Wow congrats!!! And welcome to my channel!❤️

[@positivelybecky142]

Since your protein powder isn’t out yet, is there a brand of unflavored you can recommend? Thanks!

[@jad7202]

@AutumnBates thanks for all your great content! Just one quick question, with the 1g rule is that combined carbs and protein? For example if you have keto coffee during the fast and then you use cinnamon at another part of the day and half and half another time will that break your fast? Or do you have to plan it out so you pick one item under 1g and just have that during the entire fast? Hope that makes sense. Thanks - I’m learning so much😊

[@iamhida493]

Thought I was the only one that hated Stevia. Glad someone else feels the same way. I’m trying Monk Fruit sweetener from now on

[@slinton592]

what are your thoughts on IF and appetite suppressants will it break a fast?

[@chickiepup]

I sprinkle pink salt in my coffee while it brews❤

[@ubon11]

I don’t understand when people say artificial sweeteners cause sugar cravings. That is not the case with me at all. I’ll usually have 2 or 3 cups of tea and I always put a pack of stevia or Monk Fruit in it, depending on what I have. Also, I make my own dessert with plain yogurt, chia seeds, and a pack of stevia or monk fruit. Anyway, I have zero cravings for real sugar or sweet foods, even though I use a few packs a day.

[@elifortunate]

Hi Autumn! I love your videos, and you’ve inspired me to start intermittent fasting. I am fairly new to IF, 3 weeks in doing a 2-4 hr eating window. I’ve been reading Fast. Feast, Repeat by Gin Stephens and she says that when we use sweeteners like Stevia or other 0 calorie sweeteners, this can stimulate cephalic phase insulin release. I am trying to fast as clean as possible, and do not want to stimulate insulin. Can you comment about this?

[@drdawnshoptalk]

Just subscribed girlfriend! I finally found someone Who believes in intermittent fasting AND who agrees that you can have a little bit of cream in your coffee without breaking your fast! Yes girl!

[@cyndipetray6420]

I’ve been low carb almost six months and fasting for two. Lost 45 pounds so far. I’m a little confused about the nutpods though. Here you don’t mention a limit, but I read an article where you mentioned to stick to 1 TBS. I would want a little more than that, so I’ve abstained from it while fasting. If you could clarify, I’d appreciate it!

[@edelucia74]

[@kawaiikaikee]

I've been swapping sugar with stevia for a lot of things. I recommend the SweetLeaf Vanilla Stevia liquid. It still has some after taste but honestly, after using it for the past 5 months I've gotten used to it and I don't notice it much anymore. I have a huge sweet tooth and the sweet taste even after using the stevia helps trick my brain into thinking I've had something sugary. I recommend it for people trying to swap sugar cravings.

[@YouButter]

Hi I saw where a lady suggested to put butter and heavy cream in her coffee and I finally added after learning the nutrition we get from butter and I’m now addicted. Wish I would’ve tasted this years ago. Check out the nutrition butter has. I’m lookin for a local cow farmer to get some real milk and make my butter to get more nutrition

[@cindyhoward3694]

Hi Autumn, I appreciate your videos, thank you! Quick question, you talk about getting enough protein in your diet, however how does this work with autophagy? I was using Perfect Aminos in my coffee, which has about 30g of proteins (and actually reduced my blood glucose each morning), however than I was watching and discovered that I can't have protein and remain in autophagy... how often should I get into autophagy, ie every day with a 17+ hour IF, or once a week? Just curious. Again, thank you for your time and your channel!

[@bonnyverduzco3310]

Watching this video in 2024! Question, I work out very early (6:15am) and usually stop eating at around 6pm. Should I keep fasting for the rest of the morning until 10am or should I just try to end my dinners earlier? I find that if I eat too early then I'm hungry at bed time and don't sleep well. However, if I don't eat after my workout (and pre-workout) I tend to feel weak or jittery. Thanks!
