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) Dr. Eric Berg DC Bio: Dr. Berg, age 59, is a chiropractor who specializes in Healthy Ketosis & Intermittent Fasting.

I have come to realize that fasting is all about learning to discipline the human body. Learning self discipline is very good.

Something about changing lifestyles, breaking carb addictions, staying dedicated: _I never became ready to give up carbohydrates. The desire to completely heal just became greater than the desire to keep feeding myself the foods that were causing my disease._
