    0:00 Introduction: Liquids while fasting
    1:00 What does it mean to break your fast?
    1:45 Dietary fat burns before stored body fat
    2:15 What can you drink while fasting?
    Consuming anything that causes a spike in insulin will break your fast. This is important to know while you’re doing intermittent fasting.
    Some beverages can trigger an insulin spike and immediately stop your fasting benefits.
    Keep in mind that consuming something that's 100% fat will not break your fast. This is because fat does not spike insulin on its own. However, consuming more dietary fat will deprioritize the burning of body fat. So if you’re goal is to lose weight, consume less fat while fasting.
    Fiber will also not spike insulin because your body can’t digest and utilize fiber.
    Let’s take a look at what you can and can’t drink during your fasting window.
    What to drink and not drink during fasting:
    1. Water: Yes
    2. Water + apple cider vinegar: Yes
    3. Water + lemon juice: Yes
    4. Diet soda: No
    5. Black coffee: Yes
    6. Bullet-proof coffee: Maybe (may slow weight loss)
    7. Coffee with cream: Maybe (if you’re using heavy cream)
    8. Bone broth: No
    9. Green and herbal teas: Yes
    10. Coconut water: No
    11. Coconut milk: Maybe (in small amounts)
    12. Pre-workout (BCAA): No
    13. Alcohol: No
    14. Milk: No
    15. Electrolytes: Yes (if no added sugar or unhealthy sweeteners)

I keep reviewing his videos, even today, to keep me on a good path. After dropping the weight, I now enjoy cardio twice a week. Still using fat burning exercise as my daily routine.

      I found not being too hard on myself the first couple of full day fasts helped me learn what it was like not to be eating my normal foods/ schedule. I still made a bit of progress. Then when my break through to really start feeling better happened after some omad days, that was my incentive to prep for full day fasting with having on hand the things I could drink. Be warey of getting light headed. Minerals in the water help a lot there. I am actually midway through my first ever 3 day fast and feeling very satisfied with myself. Go team!! ( I could be drinking more but bladder issues are making me not drink quite as much while out and about. )

      I agree, my thought is you need to ease yourself into the no carb or very low carb by removing the obvious what I call the big carbs, pasta, bread, rice, and potatoes then move on to the more hidden carbs which Dr. Berg has pointed out in various videos. The same goes for sugar, get rid of the obvious and move on to the hidden sugars and/or at least recognize some of the substitutes.

    Great drinks for breaking our fast during Ramadhan: drinking water plus apple vinegar or grape vinegar! I live in Jakarta. So, I start to fast around 04:30 and break my fast around 18:05. To break my fast, when my stomach is empty, I drink a glass of drinking water into which I added some apple vinegar or grape vinegar several seconds before I drink it. Then, I drink it up and wait for ten minutes. After that, I eat some oats or bread. I have diabetes. However, by doing this way, I have no problem with high blood sugar. Moreover, I feel very fresh and much more fresher if compared with my drinking other liquids, such as regular fresh water or juice.

    Dr Berg! You've made a serious impact on my life and health. I've done a 5 day water fast earlier this year, and doing another one right now (Day 5 today!) - hoping to push to a 10 day fast as i feel super good. The electrolyte intake is making a huge difference in my ability to stay strong and keep going. I also realized along this path that there are much less urges to do things like masturbation or porn. This is truly life changing.

      Me too. I started may 28 2022 just trying it because a friend did it. I thought it was more fun to try for a few days. After 3 serious days of not eating until 2pm, I started to feel the effects. I kept that going for two weeks. Lost 8 pounds, had an incredible energy. This made me naturally want to eat better foods, all the time, because crap foods made me feel terrible when I went down to eating once a day. I found a diet that my body absorbed and digested very efficiently.
      Ironically enough: adjusting to this have me incredible energy.
      I also lift weights, and adjusting my protein intake (8 egg whites a day, along with a half a pound of lean meat) my muscles are not only getting bigger but they’re lean and efficient and look much better

My dad had kidney cancer then remission, then it came back in his lymph nodes and eventually his brain and it killed him too. His younger sister died from cancer many years ago and his older sister was able to beat breast cancer. After having just turned 40 I wanted to be proactive. I’m not here to lose weight as mine has always been healthy but, I have started keto and IF. I feel it’s a necessary lifestyle change for longevity. Thank you for all your research and sharing it Dr. Berg.

    Perfect! I start a 48 hour fast on Friday, last one was 7 days last year. I did water first 4 days and fresh celery juice the last 3.

      Can we take celery juice during fasting? Because I'm use to taking them every morning but I've had to stop because of intermittent fasting! Wasn't sure if it will break my fast or not

    Did my first day of fasting with these recommendations. I was not hungry and no brain fog at work. No sugar cravings either. I'm not on keto plan but hoping to drop in clothing size or at least 15 to 20 lbs.

      Jump on keto, or at least OMAD ( ONE MEAL A DAY)
      YOU WILL DROP SIZES... I'M DOWN TO A SIZE 10 FROM 14, IN A YEAR
