Acceptable Liquids for Fasting – Dr. Berg

*****
Summary of Transcript:
The video discusses the acceptable and non-acceptable liquids to consume during intermittent fasting. While fasting only involves drinking water, many people need additional nutrients to avoid side effects. Pure fat and fiber can be consumed without triggering insulin but may stop weight loss. Acceptable liquids include filtered water, apple cider vinegar, lemon juice, and black coffee. Bulletproof coffee with butter or MCT oil can help generate ketones for the brain and improve cognitive ability, but it may hinder weight loss for those with a slow metabolism. Artificial sweeteners in diet sodas can negatively affect microbiome and insulin levels, so they should be avoided.

Summary of Description:
The video discusses what can and cannot be consumed while fasting. Consuming something that causes a spike in insulin will break the fast, so it’s important to be aware of the drinks and their effects. Certain beverages can trigger an insulin spike and immediately stop the fasting benefits. Anything that is 100% fat will not break the fast, but consuming more dietary fat will deprioritize the burning of body fat, so consuming less fat while fasting is recommended to lose weight. Some examples of what can be consumed during fasting include water, apple cider vinegar, and black coffee, while diet soda, bone broth, and alcohol are not recommended. Electrolytes can be consumed if they contain no added sugar or unhealthy sweeteners.

What liquids can you drink while fasting

Fasting is a popular health trend gaining momentum in recent years. Apart from intermittent fasting, where you break your regular meals within a set time frame, there’s also liquid fasting, which requires only fluids. But what can you drink without breaking your fast, and what can disrupt your efforts? This in-depth video by Dr. Eric Berg has all the answers.

Understanding what breaking a fast means

Before delving into what you can drink while fasting, it’s crucial to understand what this means. According to Dr. Berg, consuming anything that causes a spike in insulin will break your fast. This means that any beverage with the potential to trigger an insulin spike can disrupt the fasting benefits. It’s essential to keep this in mind when embarking on your fasting journey.

Knowing what you can and can’t drink

As a fast incorporates consuming only fluids, it becomes necessary to know what beverages you can and can’t drink. Dr. Berg lists some options, including water, water with apple cider vinegar or lemon juice, black coffee, green and herbal teas, and small amounts of coconut milk.

He also highlights some drinks you should avoid, such as diet soda, bone broth, alcohol, milk, and pre-workout containing BCAA. While bulletproof coffee and coffee with cream may not explicitly break your fast, Dr. Berg explains that consuming too much fat might deprioritize body fat burning, leading to slower weight loss.

Additionally, Dr. Berg emphasizes that while fiber and 100% fat do not spike insulin, excessive dietary fat consumption can deprioritize body fat burning, which is critical for weight loss.

Recommended supplements during fasting

Supplements can be a crucial component of a healthy fasting journey. Dr. Berg recommends electrolytes without added sugars or unhealthy sweeteners to aid hydration and mineral balance and Acetyl-L-Carnitine and DIM supplements to help burn fat.

The Bottom Line

Fasting has become a popular practice for overall health and weight loss. However, it’s crucial to understand what liquids one can drink while on this journey to avoid breaking the fast. Dr. Berg’s video expands on this topic by addressing what beverages cause insulin spikes, which are okay, and recommended supplements to enhance fasting benefits. Following his recommendations, you are on your way to a successful fasting journey.

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, drinking more dietary fat will deprioritize the burning of body fat. So if you’re goal is to lose weight, drink less fat while fasting.

Fiber will also not spike insulin because your body can’t digest and utilize fiber.
