so I had this question presented on my

live show and I wanted to just clarify a

couple things because I think there’s a

lot of confusion between fasting and

ketosis

okay so let’s first talk about fasting

when you’re fasting you’re not eating

anything okay you’re drinking water and

you’re fasting if you consume

supplements that are not like bone broth

or branch amino acids like protein type

stuff or carbs especially like any type

of shakes and things like that then

you’re you’re fasting okay so if you’re

just taking some vitamins and minerals

that’s not going to necessarily break

your fast it may not be a true fast okay

a true fast is just water I’m pointing

this out because I don’t want people to

do fasting without sea salt in certain

nutrients electrolytes and B vitamins

because I’ve had people like faint and

have side effects and issues so I want

to make sure they have enough nutrients

especially if they’re new to it but the

point is that anything that you eat is

going to break fasting except drinking

water and most supplements okay so does

that make sense so is eating some celery

gonna break fasting yes chocolate gonna

break fasting yes chewing gum gonna

break fasting yes so now let’s switch

over here to I think what people really

want to know which is not necessarily is

it gonna break my fasting is it gonna

break my ketosis okay and by the way

when you’re doing fasting you are

definitely in some hardcore ketosis but

people want to know what foods

specifically or what drink will stop my

ketosis so let’s just cover this right

here what you need to know is that

there’s something in your small

intestine but every time you eat

anything you are going to have a spike

in insulin the more carbohydrate it is

the more it’s going to spike insulin the

more fat pure fat it is the less it’s

going to trigger insulin okay but it

might trigger it a little bit so what’s

gonna bump you out of ketosis pretty

much any meal is gonna bump you out of

ketosis but there’s a huge difference

between consuming a refined carbohydrate

and sugar and starch meal

and a low carbohydrate meal okay if you

consume a large carbohydrate meal or

even like fruit for example like an

apple that has 19 grams of sugar that

has the potential to increase insulin

and knock you out of ketosis for a

pretty long period of time like 48 -

potentially 72 hours okay so if you’re

eating like bread pasta cereal crackers

candy even a lot of fruit that can knock

you out of ketosis for two or even three

days or longer okay if you’re doing a

vegetable with steak or some fat that is

also going to lower your ketosis why

because you just ate but it’s not going

to be for very long so that’s what I

wanted to communicate now let’s say for

example you consume MCT oil which is a

medium chain triglyceride which actually

enhances ketosis this will not block the

ketosis however and this is the

confusion people have when you consume

pure fat or MCT oil your ketosis might

stay the same or go up but your fat

burning’ this is another category over

here fat burning might go down why

because your body is gonna be turning

the dietary fat into ketones so your

body’s gonna be running off the dietary

calories of fat and not your own fat so

you’re not going to see much weight loss

okay if you’re consuming these two

because your body’s gonna use this for

fuel and not your own body fat does that

make sense

I hope so now if you take supplements

it’s not going to affect ketosis very

much if you’re consuming coffee it’s not

going to throw you out of ketosis very

much I did a survey on this and I found

on most people it does not throw them

out of ketosis on some people it might

lower it a little bit temporarily so

it’s it’s it’s a minor minor minor minor

thing water is not going to affect

ketosis sugar water will but I wanted

just to kind of differentiate these few

things and just realize that if your

goal is to lose weight and burn fat then

you want to make sure that you’re not

adding a lot of extra fat to the diet

you’re not eating very frequently

because every time you eat that will

stop your ketosis and you definitely

want to avoid the refined carbohydrates

or the cheat days that we call them and

you want to do fasting as much as

possible but it true fast is just with

water but I’m gonna recommend if you do

the supplements as well alright I hope

that helped if you’re liking this
