What Breaks a Fast While Intermittent Fasting? (7 DRINKS THAT WON'T BREAK YOUR FAST!)

Hi Kait-- I find the only way I can get through the morning/afternoon hours without food is by drinking green juice (I do the greens 2 juice from Pressed Juicery. Occasionally, I'll have their vanilla almond juice for breakfast or they're roots 2 drink--not sure if you're familiar with their juices). Does this break my fast? Without it, I just feel so ill and nauseous and fasting for my set time (I do 16:8) is almost impossible. I haven't been fasting for long enough to notice a difference physically, so I want to make sure I'm not beginning this IF lifestyle incorrectly! Thank you!

I'm currently intermittent fasting right now.. I'm about 19 hours into my 72 hour fast. I do this about 2 to 3 times a year to keep my weight stabilized if & when I cheat on my keto lifestyle. I only cheat on keto for celebrations like birthdays or holidays.. this is my first fast of the new year after Christmas cheating. When I fast I will consume water, coffee with butter Or heavy whipping cream, an occasional diet soda or a Bang energy drink... All have been fine on all my previous fasting over the last 3 years. I have lost weight during these times & remained in ketosis. Hope this helps anyone passing & reading by.

Question: does putting cayenne pepper in your water break a fast?

[@TomekSw]

Lost 6kg during last 3 months drinking a lot of diet sodas while fasting. Yeah I get mild insuline response from the soda but it helps me keep the regime for so long. So I disagree with you on that very very much. I'm not longer pre-diabetic too. 😊

[@lisacavaseno7612]

I drink lemon and orange slices with ground-up ginger, turmeric and pepper does that break a fast?

[@Trthsker24]

Kait, people also need to understand that the timing of the fasting window will vary depending on the timing of the last meal. There are some experts who say the "self-eating or actual autophagy" is extremely difficult to reach, even with a 36 or longer fast. I believe there are many healing benefits to fasting longer, but autophagy or system clean-up, can take more than 48 hrs.

[@HealthCoachKait]

Yes, so many factors that can impact when autophagy ramps up!

[@monjier]

Just do longer fasts and dry fasts possibly.

[@tuesdaynyx]

Love your top! It’s such a pretty color of blue and I especially like the shine.

[@HealthCoachKait]

Thank you!

[@boondoggle4820]

I drink coffee with a tablespoon of heavy cream, which has 50 calories, but I’m really not comfortable going beyond that as I’ve heard that more than 50 calories will break a fast (and drink that throughout the course of the day, usually finishing sometime later in the afternoon while walking several miles in a fasted state).

[@HealthCoachKait]

👍👍

[@enock83]

Respectfully I believe it’s 10 calories that breaks a fast

[@nicetna2010]

50 calories is definitely breaking your fast. It is still keeping your insulin level low, but your fast is most assuredly being interrupted.

[@AnaGonzalez-ol4ew]

Less than 50 cals is ok for fasting but will interrupt autophagy. If you want, double check with an insulin tracker. It is different in every body

Hi Kait, you are my new FAVORITE tuber! Been Keto since the Summer and getting ready to transition to Carnivore for a month or two to see if it can get me through a plateau (i don't really need to lose weight anymore but just want to get rid of a small belly pouch and a bit on inner thighs) and to experiment. I'm a tiny female at 100 lbs. @ 5', 1" and shredded from working out. Always been a gym rat. I'll probably end up somewhere in between Keto/Carnivore. Anyhow, in regard to this video, I just wanted to share with you my experience with coffee when fasting. I LOVE coffee! The taste, the ritual, and the boost...especially the fatty coffees. Anyway, I heard chatter that black coffee CAN break a fast by raising insulin (this is what technically we are talking about right? If insulin is raised...then the fast is broken?) I first tested my fasted BG with my Keto-Mojo upon rising. Drank black coffee, waited 30 min. and tested BG again, and every time my BG goes up drastically like 20-30 pts. sometimes but always goes up. Then, I will do the same experiment on other mornings with a bulletproof coffee with 1 tbsp./ea. of MCT oil and Ghee. My BG always goes DOWN from fasting baseline! I'm actually doing a 45 hour fast right now and had a BP coffee this morning and will have one in the morning and will test again for shits and giggles. This is my longest fast so far. Just hope I can sleep tonight. Anyway, here is a link from Dr. Pompa's site that explains it really just depends on the individual. drpompa.com/fasting/can-i-drink-coffee-while-fasting/ Some folks CAN just drink black coffee and not break the fast. Can you clarify what makes it so that you ARE breaking a fast? Is it the fact that INSULIN goes up when you eat/drink something? For me, the black coffee raises my cortisol and in turn raises insulin causing a BG spike...is this what happens? Am I getting it right? Thanks for the content!

[@MA-qm4dj]

Thanks for your testimony. Very interesting how black coffee spikes insulin but with fat it doesn't. I will keep this in mind.

[@aspinallsandy4810]

Coffee with 1 top heavy cream. Kait, could you talk again about the effects on fat loss of doing carnivore Mon-Fri & keto on weekends, ketovore? Does it kick you out of ketosis to go back & forth? I heard it was good to keep your body guessing?

[@ChristofferEricsater]

cream?! it holds protein and will effect your blood sugar levels and many other things in your blood. That is the reason why you cannot take any protein at all before certain blood tests where it says Fasting before or empty stomach before blood test! only water or coffee/tea but any protein ruin your blood sugar levels, ask any blood test lab rat 😂

[@HealthCoachKait]

Chris Erics 1 tbsp heavy cream has 0.3g protein, so not enough to matter 🙂

[@HealthCoachKait]

Debbie Johnson I don't see anything wrong with carnivore during the week and keto on weekends. Once you have been in ketosis for awhile you become more metabolically flexible and it's easier to switch in and out of fat burning 🙂

Fasting is difficult. I pushed one week, eating the same 1500 calories per day been doing for nearly two years on Keto, and fasting 14 hours for three days, 2 days 22 hours and 2 days 16 ours. After that week, with average of 50g carbs per day, I GAINED 2lbs. Yesterday, tried your approach to Bullet Coffee for breakfast, and only had 1058 calories (fasting 12 hours), was busy and no aching hunger pains. Meals totaled 21.3g carbs, 70.5 carbs fat and protein 74.7g. I lost 2 lbs. I am fighting Hyper Insulin Resistance, with my fighting Prostate enlargement and cancer. p.s. Over past year, waste line down from 48" to 42" and weight down from 239 to 207 on various Keto approaches. But need to lose more in both areas; been stuck for six months! NO sugar products in house; only use Stevia in small amounts. Since new to your site; will update you in a month if interested for info gathering.
