What Breaks A Fast & What Doesn't [The Complete Guide]
Вставка
- Опубліковано 7 чер 2024
- What breaks a fast? So you’re trying intermittent fasting, and you have questions! Will this break my fast? Will that break my fast?
I get loads of questions about what does break a fast and what doesn't break a fast. It's a tricky question, that requires a bit of knowledge about what you're trying to achieve. As usual, the focus on this channel is weightloss.
My aim is that you can see that fasting isn't quite as strict as perhaps people often think.

Re: "Who drinks black tea...?"
I do. I hate having tea with milk and/or sugar. I like mine plain and simple.
yes have learned to enjoy black tea by itself
I do! I make it as normal and just add more water rather than milk! its niiiice ;)
Most of the world drink proper black tea.
Me
I always drank tea with lots of milk and sugar but have learned to enjoy it plain and black. Find tea with milk/sugar makes me a bit nauseous now.
I have watched a few of your videos in a row now, and I thought I would comment. I am so relieved and thankful to have come across a channel offering sound, common-sense advice. Thanks so much!
I agree, he minimalizes the technical terms! Mor practical than many others!
i guess Im asking the wrong place but does someone know a method to log back into an Instagram account..?
I was dumb forgot the password. I would love any assistance you can give me
@Malcolm Alexis instablaster :)
@Ace Jake i really appreciate your reply. I got to the site on google and im trying it out atm.

@Ace Jake it did the trick and I finally got access to my account again. Im so happy:D
Thanks so much you really help me out :D
I found your channel a couple months ago and I’m so glad I did. Your videos are very informative in an organized and concise way that’s very easy to comprehend. Also, some of the subjects you cover, I’ve never even considered, or thought of, so it’s interesting content and I thank you for helping me expand my knowledge of health in this area. 🙏🏻
Love you. I'm so happy to find someone that understands nutrition and fasting as a benefit. God Bless glad your here to help so many
This channel is outstanding, it is such a shame there haven't been new videos in it for a year now.
Where have you been all my life! Thank you, Dr. Maggs! I watched a couple of your videos, and I am hooked--sensible, smart, and encouraging. I adjusted my macros and my mindset. Fingers crossed!
Agreed!
I am SO HAPPY that I just bumbled upon you!!!! Call it Devine guidance. I am currently bingeing on your brilliant videos!! Thank you for making these videos. I have learned so much from you already. Love love
This is the first video I’ve watched which makes so much sense to me - Thank you for the info - I’m subscribing for sure - I need all the help I can get 😋
I love it how you explain the facts but also stay down to earth and its okay to have a bit of cream in the coffee. Thank you for sharing all this knowledge its really helping out a lot!!
Glad you enjoyed!
thank you, an interesting and informative 5 video set. have been doing the OMAD for some years now, usually 5 days/ week and 18:6 the other 2 days. have tried Keto but could not get on with it but have gone from 118kg to 89kg over the last 3 years
Dr. Maggs, we need new videos from you! Love your content and presentation style.
Thank you so much for THIS video, it has been an eye opener for me. I could not get my GLUCOSE LEVEL to NORMAL levels UNTIL I watched this video! The CULPRIT was my EXPENSIVE Lactose-free Milk in my day-long drinking of Lattes. I did not know it contained SUGAR as a result of them using enzymes to break down the lactose. My glucose levels are now NORMAL, for the last week! This, after 3 months of not knowing WHY I couldn't get the "BC" to normal levels, no matter how strict a diet I was following. BLESS YOU DOC, for being so thorough!
I’m so glad I found your channel!
Just found your channel. Really helpful and great no nonsense explanations.
Thank you Dr. Dan! I just "discovered" your videos and am hoping you are still posting? It's been awhile and I'm binge watching your videos....
Just started Keto. These videos are SO helpful. I wish he continued doing these.
Nice video. Lots of good info - Like your point I'll paraphrase like this: Its OK to experiment and whatever keeps you on track has got to be better than going too hard too soon and crashing out.
Just found your channel: I am video binging while bulletproof fasting on my third day. Love your thorough and straight forward way to explain it all. Subscribed, of course.
Excellent advice, really easy to understand. I've embarked on a keto diet, so thanks for the video.
I’m not giving up my morning cup of coffee. Coworkers could die.
I started talking them black... Took me a while to get used to it, but i found that good french press coffee is the way to go
😝 Lol! I’m right there with you!!
I think “would” is the word you’re looking for
I lost 25 kilos end of last year in about 3-4 months by eating one meal/day low/no carb high fats. No modification to exercise. I drank black coffee the entire time, so it clearly is fine. I was like you, I even have up my biggest love for a time (delicious beer) but don't fuck with my coffee!!!
very informative and to the point...
Thank you.
Really enjoying your video. I love Keto but learning something new daily. Thanks again for all you great content.
Yet another fantastic informative clip - your delivery is great - always find your facts easy to digest - and no doubt do not break my fast - thanks heaps!
I just found your channel, and subscribed almost immediately. I saw that it's been quite awhile since you've posted new content, but I also saw that you've been working on your coaching program in the meantime, so I'll be looking forward to the videos that result from that.
great round up Doc well done
Thanks for watching Gayle!
Great video. thank you for the information. Would love to see a pdf or doc of the summary of these notes you've compiled.
Excellent, helpful video. Thanks.
Just found your videos and totally enjoying them. Started keto 3 months ago on the advice of a surgeon Best advice ever. I have lost 20 lbs and am at my goal weight when I was in my 20s. Now in my mid 60s and feeling fantastic.
We are both in our 80's and still believe in having a strong body and a calm mind. This was an interesting video and we learned a lot. We are doing research for our new YT channel that is all about healthy aging. Thank you so much and keep up the great work!
Is your UA-cam channel open yet?
Thank you. You covered several questions I had........
I am pleased I landed on your channel Dan!
Helpful, Thank you I shared it already.
So helpful, thank you, Dr Maggs
So I watched this video and it helped ALOT! As someone new to IF I did not realize my protein shake in the morning was breaking my fast. I also drink coffee solely as a appetite suppressant and seems to work. Since I adjusted my protein intake schedule I have seen a sharp improvement in my weight loss now that I’m on a true IF schedule. Just wanted to say thanks for the video. I also subscribed after I viewed this one.
IF is amazing I have been doing for 1.5 years.lost 70 lbs.And ppl don't even recognize me now.I drink water with fresh lime and black coffee during my fatsign period.
Fatsign period?
That must be where I'm at right now
@@acidset hahaha
@@acidset lmao
Amazing info!!
Great info!!! Thank you!
Great help, thanks!
Great coverage Your videos helped me at the beginning of the year on a three month intermittent fast, where every other day I ate nothing. Including artificial sweeteners and a morning macchiato I had somewhere between 20 and 60 kcal. It was one of my more successful corrections, with the main downside of being a lack of energy on the morning after the fast. I think a reason why is because of the other benefits to this form of weight loss. I really would appreciate a guide like this video that focused on the awareness and focus that you get from fasting instead of weight loss.
Hi Dr. Dan, thank you for these helpful, informative videos. I'm curious: are you aware of any studies on the effects of intermittent fasting on immune system function? Thanks!
DOCTOR DAN COME BACK! Your content rocks and want to see more!
New subscriber & new to keto/lchf & fasting. Def liking the content I've seen from you, really helps put things in context IRL.
I'm already managing 18-20hrs fasting most days but do occasionally need a 'snack' & this video has reassured me that what I've had (little bit of cheese etc) won't have disrupted things much except my lifelong habit of a glass of milk at bedtime. I'm really going to have look closely at my milk consumption but my concern is how to replace the calcium content. Cheese? Butter?
Hi Dr Dan. I binge watched about 10 of your videos yesterday and I am so glad i found your channel and website. I switched to a Keto / Paleo diet about 3 weeks ago and have lost 7 lost so far. Only 50 or so more to go. Once of your videos mentioned a PDF guide which I looked for on your website. I registered anyway and would like to know if this is still available. Thanks
So interesting and helpful
Thanks for this video. I've been asking this question for the last few weeks.
I find your videos very useful and enjoyable thank you for the information it's very Helpful thank you
Just discovered you! After watching Binging with Babish.... I've now watched most of your vids, engaging , informative and accessible. Have you written a book?
Very insightful, thank you sir
Great video!
Great information. Thank you!
I so respect your advise. Thank you.
Thanks for watching Phoebe!
@@DrDanMaggs Dan, hello. I fast and do IF. Question: Is Apple Cider Vinegar (ACV) ok to have during a pure water fast? Will ACV break a water fast. Thanks
Thank you for explaining everything so well.
Ty im glad i found your page.
Enjoyed this. Simple explanations about health. I try to apply the principles described and have had success in in the past working towards an acceptable body weight and BMI. I was once diagnosed with severe sleep apnœia and heading towards being fitted with CPAP. I tackled it through a rigid diet, achievement a healthy weight, eliminated my apnoea and was signed off by the hospital. My sleep disorder, however, stubbornly resists all my attempts to solve it, so I'd really live to hear what I can do next.
Dr Dan - I just found your channel today and found the videos really interesting - thank you! But - Nothing posted for the last seven months? Boooooo! Perleeeze don't leave us hanging! I've subscribed and will be hoping to see some some more of your excellent videos very soon!
If you want some ideas... It would be great to know more about leptin resistance (which I had never even heard of until watching your channel!) and ways one can potentially improve or reset leptin resistance. Also, your thoughts on the body's set weight and if there are any ways that can be reset.
Hello Dan I absolutely love all your hard work and the quality of the Information you're providing regarding weight loss, and this amazing way to approach it, I do have one question regarding what breaks Fasting, (Yogurt and Kefir) .
Thanks in advance.
God Bless
Thanks! Could you make a video on glycemic index? Slow carbs? And how fruits and fructose are involved in this? Thank you
Hi Dr. Maggs! So happy I found your channel. I've really been enjoying your videos and learning so much about keto and IF!
I had one question: I just started a 16:8 fasting schedule yesterday. Normally I take a prebiotic fiber supplement first thing in the morning, and I'm curious to hear your thoughts on what effects it might have on my insulin levels. I understand fiber does not affect insulin, but the drink powder also contains a marginal amount of sugar (0.9g) - You mention sometimes a splash of milk might be fine, but what should the general "upper limit" of carb consumption be when fasting for weight loss? Clearly zero would be best, but I would love to hear your input on this. Sorry for the ultra-specific question! Thanks
Great vidéo. You are the best
Helpful. TY.
Terrific video. I would love to see a video on artificial sweeteners. There is so much controversy in the few studies that have been done. I'm a retired RN. I developed C-diff after taking antibiotics for an abscessed tooth a year and a half ago. After eight days in the hospital my recovery was complicated by the cost of the antibiotics. Ten days of Vancomycin cost $5000 with my copay being $1600. I refused to pay that much, so my recovery was prolonged considerably. What finally set me right was taking a probiotic supplement. I was so impressed by how much the probiotic helped that I have continued to take them daily ever since. Since starting IF and Keto, I've stopped all my diabetes meds except invokana and my blood glucose runs between 90 and 140 fasting or postprandial. My blood glucose was even better when I was taking metformin, but the GI side effects of metformin are pretty bad for me. No more than my blood glucose went up without it, I can live with the difference. Six months ago my hemoglobin A1C was 11.8. The next one was 8.1. I'm hoping for under 6 for my next one. I've read about artificial sweeteners adversely affecting gut bacteria. My question is do you think that taking a probiotic may offset some of those changes? I typically drink four cups of coffee with one sweetener each day and then green tea with one sweetener the rest of the day with as much water as I can force myself to drink. When my blood glucose was high, I drank water like there were going to stop making it next week. Now that my sugar is under much tighter control, I struggle to drink water at all. Your videos have been very helpful to me.
Hi! Thanks for your comment. R.e. probiotics offsetting any potential downside.... I'd be guessing I'm afraid! The science in the area of sweeteners is not very good, same for the effectiveness of probiotics! Have you tried cutting down your sweeteners?
Take the chance an teach your tastebuds to like coffee without the sweet sense. This even helps to prevent cravings.
If necessary start this journey with Glycin (ist a great aminoacid) - take one package and reduce the amount every other day and maybe replace it with butter/mct oil
This is awesome. Thank you!! Do you have a video about BMR or how many calories one should eat? I can’t lose weight for the life of me, and a personal trainer suggested I may have been eating too little.
Thank a lot for the info. 😂I was about to leave a comment when I started watching. My concern was the Black tea, (Which I love btw😃, apologies Dr Dan) Coffee and the Cigarette. Excellent stuff!
Hey, I really like your videos. I was missing the info on carbs in non sweetened OAT milk. Thanks
Thanks for this video. My son is 21 months old and I taste his formula at least once a day. I was worried that it will break my fast, but you put me quite at ease.
Thank you!!🌷
Thank you for showing your true doctor colors by reminding people that quitting smoking is the single most important thing they can do for your health. This separates you from the chiropractors and other charlatans who shill diet advice on here.
Can you do a video about what "Triggers are, how they effect you, how are they created and how to break them to not effect you anymore"?
I don't know how I came across you but I am glad I did as a type 2 needing to stay on track and get my weight down more. Cheers Doctor Dan
What happened to your channel? I discovered you recently but I was quite disappointed seeing your last upload was over a year ago.
I really enjoy your content. I hope you are safe and everything is well!
You are clearly Wonderful. Thanks and Cheers!
Amazing video, thanks for such a concise and informative run down. This was sooooo helpful. Please could you do some stuff on any differences for women on keto. Is it right the weight loss rates and impact on hormones differs to men's? Is there anything women need to do for optimum results from keto and fasting? Also, would love some info on Xylitol as I make a rather delish keto ice-cream with it and coconut cream and I swear it makes me crash! 😋
I would LOVE a video about artificial sweeteners please. I really enjoy putting one packet into a cappuccino during a feeding state when breaking my fast. I hope it has a minimal impact on recovery...
Try monk fruit sweetener .
Don't use any artificial sweeteners. They knock you out of ketosis.
That was helpful. Thanks. :)
Hi, thank you for so much info & encouragement . Had a look in past comments, but cant see what effect Marmite, Bovril etc would have, i hate it all but if i can have it during fasting i will, good things in it Folic acid & Thiamin etc & i can get a couple more hours of fasting on a small mugfull. When conversing with others re diets, I cant believe how many big babies out there, "oooo dont like salads !" "Oooh dont like whatever" just have it , if it is going to do you good !
Hi Dr Maggs, great channel. How come there is no weekly post anymore?
Subscriber,
S.
Hi Simon. Thanks for noticing! I'm currently running a group through my new small group coaching programme. That's basically taking up all my time. Also working on the website a lot at the moment. Plus increased clinical work with Covid-19. Plan is to release more videos in May!
I like watching you! You have a great voice! I am in Iowa (the one below Minnesota lol)
Hi Dr. Dan
I find your videos truly enlightening- learning a lot- very simple and after the initial getting used to the "British accent" as most of the ketosis videos seem to be from Americans, I am getting quite addicted to your knowledge tank, in a way, picking your brains.
I am obese( there is no other word for it) and have been trying to lose weight for maybe 40 years- ( I am 50)- I do succeed sometimes but more often fail. Now at a particularly low phase - as living in a food desert and being a college student again is taking a toll.
For the past month, have been low carb and high fat- but as you noted, the bullet proof coffee was not causing a weight loss for me- I took one every morning - with butter, coconut oil, cream, and coffee and a breakfast cum lunch cum dinner around 5 pm ( followed this pattern for about three weeks) - no weight loss, so decided to go completely off food- have been doing it for five days now- only water and black coffee( which I usually hate as it gives me acidity and migraines)- as a surprise, I have lost about 8 pounds in 4 days- surely water weight but not much urine passing either day or night.
My urine strips do show significant ketones now. But the blood ketones are still low and the blood glucose I tested yesterday evening after a round of exercise in the cold weather, came to 150- very surprised as I am typically not diabetic , at least I don't think so.
My question is, do you think a low carb ketogenic diet can reverse lipoma or skin tags or xanthalesma- all of which I have?
That's a great question. Unfortunately I don't know the answer but that's great you're working to get healthy!
Dr. Dan, Thank you a lot for all of these great guidelines for healthy lifestyle. I'm on intermittent fasting and see a very good response from my body and blood sugar. I would like to know 1) Does fresh coconut water break my fast? 2) Does Lemon water with SALT break my fast? 3) Does Kashmiri Kahwa , product name "Girnar Green Tea, Desi Kahwa
" available on Amazon India (tried to put the url here but it was very lengthy) break my fast. Thanks so much for all the help! Best Regards, Arvind Purohit
"Who knew you could milk an almond, eh?" 😂😂😂😭😭😭
True 🤣🤣 even cashews
Probably easier than milking a donkey. Less resistance 😹
Only real milk is from your Mom.
and I've just listened to two other videos that say it does break a fast.
Sounds better than"nut juice"
This video was extremely helpful and insightful. And really gave me some clarity on whether how I'm fasting Is beneficial to me and what I'm trying to achieve Thank you.
Glad you found it useful Mauricio! :)
After watching many of Dr. Sten Ekberg's videos I found this channel and I am glad I did because I can watch now 2 very important channels on UA-cam :-)
Love your fasting info! I'm doing a 20:4 daily fasting. Lately I've been liking dill/kosher pickles, even the pickle juice in my green Iced tea. They have 0 calories ... do they break the fast?
I would like to hear more about artificial sweeteners please.
They destroy your kidneys.
Never put anything with "die"[t] on the label in your body.
Love Stevia or Erythritol occasionally use xylitol..
The folks at Keto Connect have a fantastic video about artificial sweeteners and their glycemic impact: Allulose, liquid stevia, and erythritol have the best numbers showing little to no raise in levels while xylitol and maltitol were shown to drastically raise blood glucose within half an hour of ingesting them. Sucralose is also okay in liquid form (not combined with maltodextrin which has a high impact as well.) They use blood glucose and ketone testers to demonstrate.
Look up this vid: Keto Sweeteners: List of Approved Sugar Substitutes- Thomas DeLauer
I mix alpro coconut milk with zero carbs and 14 cals per 100ml with cream in coffee, tastes lovely
Thank you so much for your videos!!!
What about Ginger Tea?
Thanks for watching! I think ginger tea should be like any of the herbal teas! As long as it's not sweetened of course!
Think you are great!! Thanks
How about a video on alternative milks.
Helpful Much
Hey Dr Dan... love your content, just noticed that nothing new for months. Hoping health and everything else is fine, would love your return to the channel.
Thank you
Thanks for your videos. Very useful information. I am wondering whether sugar free chewing gum break fasting?
Very good video I have joined your channel I am 73 and started a fast 3 days ago with just water but think it is just a bit too severe for me any suggestions?
Ur explaination is another level waaaaaahhhhhhhhhhh
Dear Dr Maggs,
I have recently started using high quality marscapone cheese, as a substitute for milk & cream in drinks and as a condiment. It tastes divine. The nutrition label clearly says zero carbs. Does this mean marscapone cheese is a good Keto food option? Would eating some break a fast?
Best wishes,
Simon
Yes please! A video on sweeteners would be really really appreciated. love your videos! you are amazing :) thank you for all your hard work Dr. Maggs! I have been doing OMAD IF with a very strict control on what i eat (one meal a day, very low carbs
Has it helped you? I’m sure that was your issue because one girl I watched said that less then 30 calories in her coffee each morning was ok for her in fasting to MAINTAIN her weight but she was NOT ever losing more until she started drinking black coffee only during her fasting morning times
That level of coffee could be the problem, though if you are used to it, could be very difficult to reduce. I have read where higher amounts of coffee can trigger hormone resp0nses, though I am not sure how. Consider some green tea to replace some of the coffee?
Have you considered some exercise as a way to jump start fat burning? Exercise (for me it was 30 days of skiing in 6 weeks) eviscerated my stubborn belly fat when 16:8 fasting had stalled. YMMV, but good luck on your journey.
Thanks for the awesome videos. But I do have a question about Stevia. I have read that stevia actually has a positive effect on blood glucose and is considered "healthy", but I have noticed most stevia erythritol. You mentioned anything ending with "... tol" should be avoided. Thoughts?
I thought I pressed a wrong button when one of the ads was Dr.Berg talking, 😝two docs back to back, ironic.
I am dibatice type2 once i start low carb 24 hrs fasting my blood sugar less than 100
After meal its 97 i take 2 metformin only
