Summary of Transcript:
The video discusses the difference between a clean fast, just water, and a dirty fast, which involves small amounts of calories, such as creamer in coffee. While a dirty fast may still lead to weight loss, it can hinder the activation of specific body processes associated with fasting, such as autophagy, which is the cellular recycling of proteins. Activating autophagy depends on the relationship between amps and mtor, with amps being the energy sensor and mtor being the growth response signal. Consuming even one calorie can spike motor and inhibit the activation of autophagy. The scientific community agrees that the body can detect any calorie or nutrient and deter the effects of a fast until one fast again. There is uncertainty about how long it takes to burn through a small number of calories during a fast and whether or not results pick up where they left off once one fast again. The video mentions a study comparing alternate-day fasting and caloric restriction, which showed that the alternate-day fasting group lost more weight and fat mass and had lower inflammatory markers than the caloric restriction group.

Summary of Description:
In this YouTube video, Thomas DeLauer discusses the concept of clean fasting versus dirty fasting. He explains how consuming certain foods during fasting can impact the body’s hormonal responses and benefits. He also touches upon the benefits of fasting for fat loss and inflammation and introduces the concept of a fasting-mimicking diet. DeLauer offers rules for dirty fasting and promotes a brand called Thrive Market with a discount and gift code. The video features several scientific references to support DeLauer’s points.

Clean Fasting vs. Dirty Fasting: Which is Right for You?
Fasting is a popular health trend that has gained much attention recently for its potential to improve health markers such as weight loss, inflammation, and longevity. However, with multiple fasting methods available, it can be challenging to determine which one is right for you. One of the most debated topics in fasting circles is whether to practice clean or dirty fasting. In this article, we will explore the difference between the two fasting methods and discuss which may suit you.
Clean Fasting:
Clean fasting is a form where you consume no calories during your fasting window. The idea behind pure fasting is to fully allow the body to enter a state of ketosis, the process of burning stored body fat for energy. The theory is that consuming any calories, even in the form of beverages with no sugar or cream, can cause an insulin response and halt the process of ketosis.
AMPK & Autophagy:
When you fast, your body activates autophagy, in which the cells break down old or damaged proteins and recycle them into new ones. This process is beneficial because it helps the body to clear out old, damaged cells and regenerate new and healthy ones. Autophagy is also linked to activating a protein called AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK), which helps regulate blood sugar levels and increase energy production in the body.
If You Consume Calories, When Are You Fasting Again?
If you consume anything with calories, you are technically breaking your fast. For example, if you drink coffee with cream in the morning, you no longer fast until the body fully metabolizes the cream. This means you may need to wait several hours before entering a state of ketosis again.
Fat Loss & Inflammation:
Clean fasting has been linked to fat loss and reduced inflammation. When you enter ketosis, your body starts to burn stored fat for energy. This process can lead to significant weight loss over time. Additionally, ketosis has been shown to decrease inflammation in the body, which can contribute to chronic diseases like heart disease and diabetes.

Artificial Sweeteners, Diet Coke:
One of the most significant challenges of clean fasting is avoiding foods and beverages that contain hidden calories. For example, many people drink diet soda or coffee with artificial sweeteners without realizing that these beverages can cause an insulin response, hurting your chances of entering ketosis.
Fasting Mimicking Diet:
If clean fasting seems too strict, you may want to try a fasting-mimicking diet. This diet involves eating a low-calorie but nutrient-dense diet for a few days each month to mimic the effects of fasting without actually abstaining from food. The fasting-mimicking diet has been shown to have many of the same benefits as fasting, including weight loss and improved health markers.
Rules for Dirty Fasting:
Dirty fasting is a form of fasting that allows you to consume a limited amount of calories during your fasting window. The rules for dirty fasting vary, but they typically include consuming beverages like coffee, tea, bone broth, and small amounts of fat in the form of butter, cream, or coconut oil. While some people find success with dirty fasting, it is essential to note that consuming any calories may prevent you from entering a state of ketosis.
Final Thoughts:
Clean fasting and dirty fasting have their benefits and drawbacks, and it is up to you to determine which is right for you. The key is to be mindful of what you consume during your fasting window and to listen to your body’s cues. As always, it is vital to consult with your healthcare provider before beginning any fasting regimen.
