let’s talk about the 14 things you can consume to make fasting much easier

realize that when you do fasting anything that you’re consuming other

than water is going to break your fast to some degree but these are the items

that will have a very very minor effect on your ability to get right back into

fasting and when we’re talking about fasting we’re talking about lowering

your ketosis we’re talking about raising insulin that type of thing and obviously

the biggest thing that will break your fast is refined carbohydrates or sugar

okay the high carbohydrate diet protein also has the ability to break your fast

because protein can stimulate insulin and a good portion of protein actually

turns into fuel in your body and this is why if you’re doing fasting and then

let’s say you work out and you take some branched chain amino acids right before

the workout during your fast you will break your fast because that would

stimulate glucose or collagen or bone broth those will actually increase

insulin now the two things that don’t seem to have that much effect on insulin

our fats and fiber fiber has a zero effect on insulin so when you’re

consuming leafy greens for example that are very high in fiber low in sugar that

will have a very minimal effect on insulin but on the flip side of that

anything that you eat in general of any significance if it has a certain

quantity of calories can stimulate insulin to a certain degree so that

being said let’s just go through the things that you could consume that will

have a minimal effect on your ability to stay in ketosis and do your fast now

number one MCT oil this is very very good especially when you’re starting out

especially in the morning maybe to put in your coffee because MCT oil will turn

into ketones very very fast and then your brain can run on the ketones your

heart can run on the ketones you’re you can use these ketones as

energy and MCT oil will allow you to go longer without getting hungry so that

would be number one number two coffee coffee does not have a lot of calories

and it doesn’t seem to break the fast very much so coffee would be okay

as long as you don’t put sugar in it now if you add an alternative sweetener

maybe a little erythritol or stevia or a monk fruit that would be totally

fine but let’s say for example you want to add whole cream so a little bit of

whole cream will have a very minor effect and I wouldn’t worry about it too

much so coffee can help you fast longer it can reduce hunger number

three exogenous ketones another name for this would be ketone salts so let’s

say for example you’re fasting and you feel tired or you have brain fog you can

basically just take ketones and they go into your blood and then your brain will

pick it up because if the brain has a choice between glucose or ketones it’ll

always pick ketones but if your body has not adapted yet and you haven’t

generated the ketones you can end up with low blood sugar and you might feel

kind of funky and tired but if you provide the ketones for the brain it

will suck them up and use them for brain energy so this could help you feel

better while you’re fasting especially with brain fatigue or lethargy number

four tea drinking tea can greatly help you go longer when you fast especially

with the phytonutrients in the herbs that make up the tea number five

electrolytes by taking certain minerals and realize there’s hardly any calories

in here unless you’re getting the wrong type of electrolytes that has a glucose

in it which we never recommend but the minerals the trace minerals and

electrolytes will actually help your blood sugars and help your energy of

your muscles and it just makes it easier to do fasting number six probiotics

probiotics are healthy bacteria that it can help stabilize blood sugars alright

number seven B vitamins B vitamins will help insulin resistance it will give you

energy so these B vitamins are needed at the

cellular level especially when you’re doing fasting or ketosis all right apple

cider vinegar has a great effect on your blood sugars and it can allow you to go

a lot longer without eating now if you’re doing kombucha tea a lot of times

they have a bit too much sugar in that product so you want to read the labels

if you find one with two grams that might be okay but even two grams

could be too much for some people so it really depends on your

metabolism but I will say that generally speaking this is lower amounts of sugar

than other types of tea and it has a good probiotic and a good acid to help

you go longer especially at night let’s say your you want a replacement for beer

or wine or champagne this has a similar texture and carbonation that can act as

a substitute number nine fiber fiber does not stimulate insulin and it’s food

for your microbes and the microbes actually make butyric acid which is

actually kind of in the family of ketones and that can help stabilize your

blood sugars and improve insulin resistance so if you were to do a

concentrated green fiber or a wheatgrass juice powder that usually should be

totally okay because you get the nutrients from it and if you’re doing a

greens drink with fiber the fiber actually can act as food for your

microbes so that would be something that could enhance things because you’re it’s

almost like you’re consuming a dehydrated form of a vegetable and you

can even feel more satisfied with that all right number 10 erythritol so you

can put that in your coffee but erythritol has a zero effect on the

glycemic index so it gets absorbed in the small intestine and it gets in the

blood and it gets pushed out the kidneys unchanged so it’s a sweetener so if you

were to add that with the tea or the coffee whatever that would be fine or

stevia or monk food these three sweeteners do not have hardly any

effects on your blood sugar’s number 11 lemon juice now there is a little bit of

carb in lemon juice but a little lemon juice

in your water is totally fine and for the most part it really won’t break your

fast for more than a minute okay but it can actually help reduce the risk of

kidney stones and even gout or high levels of uric acid all right number 12

amino acid blend so protein in general will stimulate insulin but there are

certain blends of amino acids like the keto essential amino acids that have an

effect of not providing fuel for the body but mainly for recovery so straight

amino acid blend you can have a great effect right after you workout to give

you certain amino acids without giving you that insulin spike if you want more

information I put a link down below all right number 13 is sea salt this is very

very important I recommend the Himalayan pink sea salt that would be something

that I really like but sea salt actually can make you actually feel stronger your

muscles it can help with your energy level because if you’re deficient in

salt you can have like the keto flu or a keto fatigue so this could give you more

energy and lastly number 14 is just water now not just recommending drinking

massive amounts of water like gallons to somehow satisfy you but I will say that

when you’re doing fasting if you’re a stone former and you develop kidney

stones you may find that your uric acid goes up and potentially you could form a

uric acid stone but if you’re drinking enough water I’m talking about 2 and 2.5

liters per day you’re gonna pretty much dilute the urine so you’re not gonna

form a kidney stone so drinking more water can help you now when you are

doing fasting you’re gonna find that you’re gonna get a fluctuation in

hormones and when you get this fluctuation you may go through a little

bit of hunger at certain points especially in the morning at 8 o’clock

when you have a little spike of cortisol and you might feel like you need to eat

if you just ignore that transient hunger that will go away in

most cases but if it persists then go ahead and eat but if you’re going

through a little wave of I’m a little hungry and all of a sudden iit goes away just

realize that is just a hormonal flux and you just want to ignore it and push

through that and go a little bit longer alright thanks for watching so I wanted

to say thank you so much for watching my videos I really really appreciate it

now if you have benefited from my information or videos and want to share

it with the world I would love to have you write up a

success story so click the link down below fill it out and let’s let people

know the benefits of healthy keto and intermittent fasting
