so I wanted to create this short video

on things that don’t break your fast I

keep getting this question over and over

and over again so instead of explaining

it I’m just going to create a video on

it

we have to realize is the ideal scene is

to only drink water when you’re fasting

but really it’s all about insulin it’s

about keeping insulin low so if you were

to consume something that kept insulin

low it really is not going to interfere

with your the benefits of fasting okay

realize that carbs in protein stimulate

insulin so especially carbs and that

would include collagen okay

protein powder there’s carbs in milk for

example there so like lactose milk sugar

there’s also protein powder like whey

protein that has a real big effect on

insulin now there’s a certain type of

carbohydrate that doesn’t affect insulin

and that would be fiber

okay so fiber is not going to increase

insulin so let’s say for example you’re

eating celery or a little bit of a green

salad well the carbohydrate in that is

so low because it’s mostly fiber it’s

not going to have that much effect on

insulin so you’re not going to have to

worry about it too much and the other

interesting thing is fat fat has the

least effect on insulin okay

I’m talking MCT oil butter coconut oil

whole cream now if you’re doing

half-and-half for example doing half

milk and half cream there’s a little

more carbohydrate in that so we may

affect insulin a little bit if you’re

gonna put the half-and-half in your

coffee but if you want to just take it

to the next level use whole cream in

which there’s like hardly any

carbohydrates and I mean maybe there’s

like one carbohydrate but make its I

think it’s actually less than one carb

and of course butter has less

carbohydrates than whole cream so butter

is just pure fat so you can actually

maybe put that in your coffee

now what about sugar alcohols the

alternative sweeteners right well you

have salat all which does affect insulin

a little bit so just take a little bit

if you want to take it it’s low on the

scale but just take a little bit in your

coffee if you want to do that a wreath

rotol is like zero

fact an insulin multi-tool is really bad

don’t even use that that’s like I think

it’s 58 on the glycemic index and then

you also have things like stevia monk

fruit which don’t have any effect on

insulin at all so those are fine so you

can do sugar alcohols certain ones tea

is fine coffee is fine but of course if

you’re drinking a lot of coffee and that

could be a problem because it could

start to stimulate cortisol which would

then increase insulin and by the way

stress does raise insulin to seven

degrees so that’s nothing that you’re

eating but just realize that that stress

can spike insulin a little bit if it’s

too high and then we have supplements

supplements will not increase insulin so

don’t worry about that

green powder usually has less than one

gram of carbohydrate and fiber or no

fiber it’s a lot of chlorophyll and a

lot of concentrated green this is

totally fine I wouldn’t worry about

green powder when you’re doing insulin

so anyway I just wanted to create this

short video just to kind of cover the

basic points so you know how to do it

correctly thanks for watching

so if you’re enjoying this content go

ahead and share it with someone that

could really benefit from it
