1:45 Dietary fat burns before stored body fat
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, consuming more dietary fat will deprioritize the burning of body fat. So if you’re goal is to lose weight, consume less fat while fasting.
Fiber will also not spike insulin because your body can’t digest and utilize fiber.
Let’s take a look at what you can and can’t drink during your fasting window.
What to drink and not drink during fasting:
1. Water: Yes
2. Water + apple cider vinegar: Yes
3. Water + lemon juice: Yes
4. Diet soda: No
5. Black coffee: Yes
6. Bullet-proof coffee: Maybe (may slow weight loss)
7. Coffee with cream: Maybe (if you’re using heavy cream)
8. Bone broth: No
9. Green and herbal teas: Yes
10. Coconut water: No
11. Coconut milk: Maybe (in small amounts)
12. Pre-workout (BCAA): No
13. Alcohol: No
14. Milk: No
15. Electrolytes: Yes (if no added sugar or unhealthy sweeteners)

Thanks for watching. I hope this helped explain what you can and can’t drink while fasting. I’ll see you in the next video.
I love this guy. I went from 236, to 174 in one year. This guy saved my military career.
How tall are you? I stafted off at 240 and am 225 now. My goal weight is 205 and im 6'2".
How the hell did you lose that much weight in a year?!
@@timothyandrewnielsen 68 inches tall. in my 50s. I followed Dr. Berg instructions on healthy keto and IF. I did purchase his book. I think the thing that may have helped was that I quit the cardio bootcamp craze, which is the exercise program that I used previous to Dr. Berg exposure. I keep reviewing his videos, even today, to keep me on a good path. After dropping the weight, I now enjoy cardio twice a week. Still using fat burning exercise as my daily routine.
I did about the same... 245 to 178 in 5-6 mos. I was thrilled. I did go off and pop back up to 200, but am back on for good now. I feel horrible when I eat poorly amd so well when I do a legit/strict keto.
@@scottmayhew2227 Thanks Scott. USA #1!
congrats man. I am at 236 trying to get under 200 myself. your post is inspiring.

@@Drbergmorning
So, I didn't understand... Is heavy cream in coffee ok or no? And how much? Does it break the fast? Or is it like bullet proof-- works for some but not others? I'm fasting, trying to cut out heavy cream completely, added acv etc -- I gained 20 lbs on meds for headache and the headache still here. Please help I need my body back. Thank you!
I’m so grateful I found this dr. I went from 235.5 to 228 in 1 wk following his advice. Adding the electrolytes helped my fasting a lot.
That's amazing!
@@Drberg Hello Dr. Berg. I want to do a cleanse fast for overall health. Can a person potentially benefit from say 2-3 days fasting? Thank you
@@likeargamanflaming940 definitely
@@likeargamanflaming940I do a 48 hour fast every month or so. I had a bad accident last year which has left me with deep muscle damage in my neck, shoulders, and back, and also mild concussion. I do stretches etc to manage it, but after I do fasts it actually feels like I’m healing. In 6 months time I’m planning a 7-10 day fast to really give my body a long uninterrupted period of autophagy.
Does anyone know if I drink mushroom coffee with non sugar mushroom creamer , if this will kick me out of ketosis?
Something about changing lifestyles, breaking carb addictions, staying dedicated:
_I never became ready to give up carbohydrates. The desire to completely heal just became greater than the desire to keep feeding myself the foods that were causing my disease._
I found not being too hard on myself the first couple of full day fasts helped me learn what it was like not to be eating my normal foods/ schedule. I still made a bit of progress. Then when my break through to really start feeling better happened after some omad days, that was my incentive to prep for full day fasting with having on hand the things I could drink. Be warey of getting light headed. Minerals in the water help a lot there. I am actually midway through my first ever 3 day fast and feeling very satisfied with myself. Go team!! ( I could be drinking more but bladder issues are making me not drink quite as much while out and about. )
I agree, my thought is you need to ease yourself into the no carb or very low carb by removing the obvious what I call the big carbs, pasta, bread, rice, and potatoes then move on to the more hidden carbs which Dr. Berg has pointed out in various videos. The same goes for sugar, get rid of the obvious and move on to the hidden sugars and/or at least recognize some of the substitutes.
Same. It just became the optimal course of action. I'm in my mid 30's now. I ain't forkin around no more.
Meee tooo! 🫶
Same here. Thank you for Dr. Berg.
What amazing feelings I experienced,
I do not feel hungry like before.
this guy is great... no bad agenda, BS, gimmicks, or selling trash... just plain and simple truth to genuinely help people.. i hope his channel is super successful for a long time.. and thanks Eric B for everything, helped me a lot with my health.. i made some changes in my life, i feel great
Dr Berg you have helped me regain my life back. I started your Keto diet with intermittent fasting in April and I've not only lost 40 pounds but I'm so much healthier and happier. May God always bless you and keep you well. Big Respect for you!

@@Drberg I'm not overweight..I actually want to gain weight..What should I eat?
I went from 246 to 188 in 3 months following a keto diet. I couldn't believe how fast I lost the weight. I'm still learning but to anyone struggling to lose weight I highly recommend watching some of these videos and making the changes in your life
I don’t think you are telling the truth
@@mokhtaralageli985 I can show you
Did you exercise?
@@kashh02 yes
You know, I'm always an advocate to getting second opinions, especially with healthcare and coming from doctors who are brought and paid for by insurance companies and their protocols. But this is a rare moment in my life, to where I actually agree with everything this doctor is saying, I have a master's in food science studying for my PhD currently. But everything Dr. Berg saying is 100% spot on and not b.s like these other doctors. And not just this video but in all of them. Thank you for your due diligence sir!
Well even in universal healthcare systems, doctors rely on slow science...a lot outdated
Jan which is bizarre. Why aren't they reading up on new research? Or being briefed by someone? I'm a home herbalist. I have homeschool and a million other things keeping me busy, yet I have time to do some reading. My mom is prediabetic. Her nutritionist looked at her diet and said it's a mystery as to why she can't lose weight. It took me two seconds. She eats a lot of grains. Granola bars, cereal, etc. All food deemed healthy previously.
I remember when artificial sweeteners came out …I hated the taste of it. I don’t touch the stuff now.
Agreed
@@RunninUpThatHillhI was recently reading about the effects of those. Want to learn more about this
Seriously, after learning so much from Dr. Berg, I am no longer distracted or tempted to buy nonsense food/snacks/drinks from groceries stores anymore. I go straight to get what is healthy to my body & my groceries list shrunk by half at least. What’s interesting is that I am more and more aware that 99% of those stuffs that they are selling out there are just very harmful to our human body and overall well-being.
You may also find like I have and many others, that the snacks and the cookies and all that are not a temptation because your taste buds change with the healthier foods that you eat. And they just don't taste good anymore The temptation goes away. It's quite awesome! Remember just because somebody calls it keto doesn't mean it is. Marketing has gotten a hold of the word keto, you have to read your labels. Learn all the different types of words that is used for sugar. Just because it's organic cane sugar doesn't mean you should have it. Sugar is still sugar.
100% when I 1st fasted I no longer craved junk food but when I went back to my bad ways and started eating really unhealthy I’ve got a lot more depressed, anxiety & not bothered to do anything.
What do you buy?
Same here
@@gabrielguzman6018 shop the outer perimeters of grocery stores. Produce, meat,diary, some canned meats. Mostly REAL food NOTHING processed as much as possible and if you can afford it.
I recently discovered this channel and have found it very informative. Thank you doc!
I’m on day 12 of strictly following his advice on IF and have lost 4kg so far 😊🥳
How much is water loss which must be regained?
I've been on a low-carb diet for a couple of months and just finished a 3-day fast. Despite being a rather heavy diet soda drinker, I haven't noticed that this is inhibiting my weight loss. I've dropped 70 lb... 40 of that in the last 30 days. I'm 52 years old and I've never felt this much energy or mental clarity.
However, I am working on cutting down on the diet soda so that it is more of a reward than my primary source of hydration. Thanks for all of your fantastic information!
Do some reading on what those "sweeteners" do to your body and you may drop the diet soda a lot faster. Weight gain/loss is the least of it.
I have been doing IF for several months. My body adapted quickly to the 16/8 and by the time I eat, it's usually 18/6. I do not worry about weight. How my clothes feel is more important and that is what lets me know it's working. I am in it for the long haul.
Same 😊
Same me
Same for me also
Same 😀
What do you mean by 16/8 and 18/6?
This Dr is the G.O.A.T. There's very, very few of them who make sense like him.
Question: how are you not spiking your insulin when taking apple cider vinegar or lemon juice? Apologies if this was already covered somewhere in the numerous comments.
Dr Berg! You've made a serious impact on my life and health. I've done a 5 day water fast earlier this year, and doing another one right now (Day 5 today!) - hoping to push to a 10 day fast as i feel super good. The electrolyte intake is making a huge difference in my ability to stay strong and keep going. I also realized along this path that there are much less urges to do things like masturbation or porn. This is truly life changing.
what can take during water fasting ? I mean how do you take electrolytes ?
Hey there
Great job! I want to also give it a try starting with 3 days then 6 then 10 and so on. I have a question do you still exercise while fasting ? If yes which days you do not exercising and after how many days it becomes hard.
This is the best ever UA-cam that Dr. Burg shared with us. Thank you so much, Doctor Burg
I have D2 and started KETO 1/1/22 I'm down over 60lbs so far and just wanted to compliment Dr.B and how thorough he is in his posts breaking such a major topic into an application for all .

Good timing. The difficult part is when I arrive to work in the morning and people bring in donuts.
Will power MrTeko. Just know that donuts are one of the worst things that you can put into your body.

Just stumbled across your channel. I used to fast years ago, recently starting again. Thank you for these 👍
Dr. Berg keeps it simple I love that . This is why I watch him and not others!!!!👍
I'm glad you liked this post.
@@Drberg Does ginger tea (ginger in boiling water) break a fast? What about the juice from blended and strained ginger? Thanks in advance.
Fasting is amazing lost 25 lbs in a month but then stopped doing it now as got covid 10 days back and lost the track. Would love to start again after full recovery. Dr berg videos keeps me going.. thanks 😊
I feel yor pain Vicky. I started IF and 4 days later got Covid-19. I didn't know it at first an my first week doing IF was miserable.
Good stuff I’m starting after Memorial Day thx doc ❤
Thank you Dr. Berg for teaching us.
After I started watching your videos, it's when I found out I was unconsciously fasting. I've been doing it like since forever. I don't do prolonged ones, the most I've done it is 20 hrs. I tend to lose weight, since I have a high metabolism, so far I've never been overweight. I've good eating habits, so far I'm pretty healthy. Thank you for sharing this information, it tells me I've been doing it right!!
Thank you Dr Berg! I am in the transition between an old really unhealthy carb diet to keto and I'm making a fair few of these mistakes/not seeing results and being discouraged. It's a long road to getting out of old habits/cravings for carbs but I'm determined and going to get there! I often rewatch these videos to re-solidify the lessons/importance of no cheat days etc etc. Big thank you from Melbourne AUS.

Just trust and go all in... one one of his beginner keto videos I think he said if we try to do it gradually it won't work
no cheat meals?

Oh also I started fasting three weeks ago based on your recommendations and have lost 17 lbs so far very easy to do Thanks amazing info
That's amazing!
Your cortisol spikes in the morning, so it's probably best to hold off on the coffee until at least 9am. Having coffee before that will tend to have the reverse perceived effect, and it's probably why people tend to drink multiple cups a day. This may sound similar to sugar, because it is, from a perceived energy standpoint. The reason why fasting in the morning works so well is because your body prepares you to fast until you find food, since Ugg and Ogg didn't have refrigerators.
Interesting. I only have my first cup of coffee after 9 since lockdowns last year. I had to get up really early to get to the office before and used to rock up at work just after 7 which was always a killer.
i never get up before 10am anyway
Interesting... have not heard this until now, noted and will try this out myself for sometime. Thanks for the suggestion
Thank you!! Both my husband and I will feel tired again at 10AM , about 2 hours after getting up , along with coffee.
I thought coffee was making us sleepy (even at night) because we make a pot with 5 scoops instead of 10-12.
Tomorrow, we'll try holding off. He goes right for it.
@@lisab.9920 My bet is you'll miss it for a while because of habit, but within a short period of time, you'll feel better. That's what I'm told, anyway.
I like to use some of these videos as a refresher and try to answer ahead of time and see the results. Dr. Berg is good about reminding and reiterating information in multiple videos and this is no different. Great stuff!
Agree!!!👍
Great drinks for breaking our fast during Ramadhan: drinking water plus apple vinegar or grape vinegar! I live in Jakarta. So, I start to fast around 04:30 and break my fast around 18:05. To break my fast, when my stomach is empty, I drink a glass of drinking water into which I added some apple vinegar or grape vinegar several seconds before I drink it. Then, I drink it up and wait for ten minutes. After that, I eat some oats or bread. I have diabetes. However, by doing this way, I have no problem with high blood sugar. Moreover, I feel very fresh and much more fresher if compared with my drinking other liquids, such as regular fresh water or juice.
one of the best videos I've seen on fasting! any thoughts on 10-15 day fasts?
I love fasting! It’s like nothing else. It’s hard to do at first but the results are incredible!
Me too. I started may 28 2022 just trying it because a friend did it. I thought it was more fun to try for a few days. After 3 serious days of not eating until 2pm, I started to feel the effects. I kept that going for two weeks. Lost 8 pounds, had an incredible energy. This made me naturally want to eat better foods, all the time, because crap foods made me feel terrible when I went down to eating once a day. I found a diet that my body absorbed and digested very efficiently.
Ironically enough: adjusting to this have me incredible energy.
I also lift weights, and adjusting my protein intake (8 egg whites a day, along with a half a pound of lean meat) my muscles are not only getting bigger but they’re lean and efficient and look much better

@@penelopepittstopP thanks!
@@mr.terwilliger5728 So do you just eat 2-6? I read somwhere tht women shouldnt fast for more than 14 hours but according to Dr.Berg it looks like you should only eat 12-6..
@@esem3511 there is no formula. Sometimes I eat between 11-2 in the day. Sometimes I go the whole day without eating. Sometimes I have two different dinners, one at 5pm and again at 7:30.
Keep in mind it’s WHAT you eat. A subway sandwich once a day is going to actually cause you to become I’ll. I’m eating steaks, fish, 7-10 eggs a day, giant salads with a ton of greens and other vegetables, I eat almost 0 cars just because I don’t care about getting them.
You’re going to have to figure out what works for you. I workout a lot, so if I need to eat I do. I also make sure to do two 24 hour fasts a week (usually Monday and Thursday) but the food I eat around that is incredibly nourishing
I lost 10 lbs in 2 weeks, two days 48 hours and rest 24 hours. Not hard at all. I am looking forward for 6 pack abb. I do realize in the beginning lots of body water loss. Thanks Dr. Berg

I'm now on IF Keto and don't eat if I'm not hungry! Without realizing I miss alot of my 12pm 1st meal and end up OMAD 6pm. Can't wait to try your hair products too! ITS TRUE! MY face is no longer round and I've lost 10lbs in 4 weeks. I feel so much healthier.

My next Dr appt July 2023. My doctor was not happy about IF KETO 5 weeks ago. Oh well...ITS MY LIVER lol and I guarantee it's no longer a fatty liver. Friends EVERYTHING DR BERG TEACHES IS TRUE! IM LIVING PROOF! will keep you updated!
OMG...two hours ago, I was thinking about researching what, if anything, could I drink during intermittent fasting. And aftet watching a Dr. Berg video on a totally different subject, this video suggestion appears on my UA-cam. Thanks Dr. Berg for the wealth of health info that you share. I just found Dr. Berg's videos on yesterday and I subscribed. God bless you!
No problem. Glad to make videos that can help you all.

This was so helpful. I am fat adapted and fast almost every day but would have a 0 calorie energy drink every morning (Not great I know). I would get hungry around 2-3PM. After watching this I only had coffee today. It’s now 6pm and still fasting. Just now starting to get a little hungry but know I can keep going. I feel great. Thank you!
I stumbled upon Dr. Berg while doing research on fighting cancer. I have lost 2 grandparents to colon cancer. My dad had kidney cancer then remission, then it came back in his lymph nodes and eventually his brain and it killed him too. His younger sister died from cancer many years ago and his older sister was able to beat breast cancer. After having just turned 40 I wanted to be proactive. I’m not here to lose weight as mine has always been healthy but, I have started keto and IF. I feel it’s a necessary lifestyle change for longevity. Thank you for all your research and sharing it Dr. Berg. I only wish more people believed in it over the oncologists that want to subject you to tons of toxicity and don’t even mention a healthy diet.
Question? ….How about vitamin supplements during fasting? Love the content. Your videos have definitely opened my eyes! Thank you so much!
Thank you for the clarification regarding Stevia. I like to make a mixture of 1 gallon water, 4T lemon juice, 2T ACV, 1.5tsp Stevia, and 1/4 tsp pink salt. I find it very refreshing to drink vs just plain water. I drink electrolytes sometimes as well, especially if fasting over 24 hrs.
Does "lemon juice + Apple cider vinegar + Electrolytes + Chia Seeds 2 tsp" will break autophagy ?
that in India is called 'Shikanji' and it's the most widely drunken during the peak summers here. I agree it's very refreshing and also considered beneficial for gut health.
I'm starting a 7 day fast on Monday... this is the first time the spying our phones do has been beneficial to me! Thanks, Doc!
Thank you Doc! You are the best on UA-cam! Thanks for this knowledge
Thanks Dr. Berg. My wife and I were unsure about Bone Broth, so thanks for clearing this up!
Most welcome!
One thing he did not mention That was mentioned in a different video regarding bone broth is coming out of your fast. As I understood it it is a great way to come out of the fast before you start ingesting solid foods. I think this Was applicable more to multi-day fasts as opposed to an 18-hour or one day
@@MichaelPSmith-mp1fk Thanks for this. It sounds right, and thanks for saying it clearly.
I love ice water with squeezed lemon juice but I will be honest....I do sometimes put some Stevie in my drink. I drank alot of juice (celery, apples, red beet, carrot and lemon) and I lost 90 pounds in one year. I stopped and gained back the weight. Your lifestyle change has to be permanent. You have to be consistent forever.
Most of your drinks promote a glucose based diet though...apples and carrots particularly will spike your insulin levels
@@galadriel3134 Thanks I did not know this
FOREVER. I can attest to that! I do not trust myself at all with food. This is life and death. I don't want to be fearful to come off of this fast but since I've gained so much weight back after each extended fast I am a little terrified.
@@galadriel3134 what about celery? I want something in my mouth desperately. LOL I have been putting a whole clove in there just to combat the nasty mouth feeling and that helps but celery would be so much more refreshing.

Hi. I've just discovered your channel this weekend.
I got surprised with the NO for coconut water because it has sugar. I live in Brazil where we are used to drink coconut water directly from the coconut with a straw. I'm pretty sure this natural coconut water has no sugar added, so I wonder whether you are referring to bottled industrialized coconut water or to the natural fructose that comes with the coconut?
Love this ! I've learned soOOo much from you Sir. Thank u for helping me lose weight, 23 lbs in one month, eating what I wanted , and feeling better. ❤
Well done on your weight loss! How did you lose 23 lbs in one month?
Very glad to be of help.
Just watched your other video on Celery juice and you said this is also OK to drink a small amount (I guess 1 glass) during fasting as it contains little to no sugars. Another good one for the list.
Thanks for all the great info as always.

Did my first day of fasting with these recommendations. I was not hungry and no brain fog at work. No sugar cravings either. I'm not on keto plan but hoping to drop in clothing size or at least 15 to 20 lbs.
Jump on keto, or at least OMAD ( ONE MEAL A DAY)
YOU WILL DROP SIZES... I'M DOWN TO A SIZE 10 FROM 14, IN A YEAR
I think I am going to do one day a week fast to get my self started! ❤
How did it go ?
I lost 9 pounds!!
Hi Dr Berg, I am grateful for your informative videos. Just to be clear can you drink the recommended drinks during the non eating periods or is it just when you are in the eating periods of the day. Also, I've come across a recipe for green tea, ginger, lemon and apple that I love, would this be acceptable in the morning and before bed outside of the eating times? Thank you .
green peppermint tea + lemon juice is my favourite
hey doc, thanks for this video! it's just in time. I introduced IF (16:8) to my keto diet about 3 weeks ago and I've been drinking nothing but water during the fasting period. the taste (or lack of it) has gotten a bit boring. it's good to know that I can now add "some flavours" to the water by using ACV or natural lemon juice. cheers!
Thank you Dr berg. The way you explained for food it’s fantastic. Your advices for fasting and insulin amazing
Very glad to be of help.
This doctor is the best. I had 95kg last year in August but when I started keto am now 73kgs
I did the keto diet & ended up with thyroid issues, my body was in ketosis, but I am very keen to try the fasting
I really appreciate this! I’ve been having more nuts (during OMAD) recently and I noticed I felt great but was still putting on weight! Thank you!
Good advices now for fasting in the month of Ramadan. Love your useful videos! 👍
Warning in regards to drinking green tea while fasting: it can cause extreme nausea if consumed on an empty stomach due to the tannins in it. I did this a few times while fasting and I always experienced nausea, so I just started drinking black coffee and water. If you don't then good on you.
Thank you very much for the information. Can’t seem to break the 24 hour barrier.
Perfect timing as I'm about to start my fast, thanks Dr. Berg!
Most welcome!
Perfect! I start a 48 hour fast on Friday, last one was 7 days last year. I did water first 4 days and fresh celery juice the last 3.
Wow that’s awesome I don’t think I can go a day and I’m super thin
Wow that’s some super discipline good for you!
Celery juice I should try that
Can we take celery juice during fasting? Because I'm use to taking them every morning but I've had to stop because of intermittent fasting! Wasn't sure if it will break my fast or not
No celery juice it will knock you out of keto
Thank you do much for sharing your knowledge to help folks get healthy!
Glad to help!

Hello Dr. Berg,
I started my prolonged fast today, and I truly appreciate your help. Thank you for giving us valuable knowledge. Thank you for giving us natural alternatives instead of suggesting meds and surgery. I will keep you updated on how much weight I lose. I want to reverse my fatty liver and shrink my enlarged spleen. I've been having the worst digestive problems, so hopefully my prolonged fast will give my body time to recover.
Also quick question, I have a gallbladder stone im wondering should I be taking your gallbladder formula during my prolonged fast?
You can add lemon 🍋 to your water that’d help big time
Im 64 and trying to help my fatty liver and “stressed” spleen, as per my holistic doctor.
I started IF n drink bullet coffee in the morn. I cant help you on the gallstone but wish you all the best.
Naturally, water is the number one drink in any diet. Water is essential for overall health, but also essential for healthy hair and skin. Water does not contain any calories, carbohydrates, or fats. You can also enjoy different types of water such as carbonated water, ready-made flavored water or flavor it at home by adding lemon slices, fruit slices, mint leaves, or cucumber slices. The rate of drinking water should not be less than 1.5-2 liters per day.
The fruit and natural flavors in flavored water create an insulin spike negating a clean fast. Stick with plain water only.
Water is the best. Especially Ice ❄️ Cold. Delicious
The problem with your statement is that everyone is different and our hydration needs change based on activity level, personal metabolism, and environment. You can get hydration from foods, as well as, from liquids. And periodically doing a dry fast (no liquids) is not a bad thing.
Typically, you should be urinating 6-8 times per day (every few hours). It should be straw colored, not too dark and not too clear. Learn about the newer hydration science by researching structured water, gel water, H302, EZ water, etc.
Dr. Berg may you explain what happes in the body with a sip or cup of water? Does the entire digestive system active ?
@@christophergray9227 well said, the common myth of everyone should drink *so much* water is out dated. Drink when you’re thirsty, stay hydrated.
I lost 12 pounds while participating in this past Ramadan ,this will be day one of my I-fast’
Thanks for this
I only drink water, sometimes black coffee, and I'm starting to incorporate morning herbal and green teas. So far so good.
I've switched to OMAD recently. I was doing 2MAD for a long time. I am loving it so far. Green tea and water with lemon juice help me a lot during my fast. Thanksss 🙏🏻💯
How do you get enough calories and nutrition on omad ? I unintentionally had started omad when I was sick and it had carried on because my appetite got wacky, I shouldn’t lose weight as I’m a little under weight already, but with omad I’m not getting enough calories for sure , I’ve been getting headaches and dizziness, lack of energy, it’s been horrible! But it’s been hard to force myself to eat more after eating so little for a month while I was sick
@@coupongma161 I was just eating big portions. But now I switch between 2MAD and OMAD. Indeed the appetite goes away. Therefore I switch between the 2 methods.
@@coupongma161 IMO one meal a day is to lose weight, once stable 2meals/day with a 4-6hr feed window is best.
@@coupongma161 OMAD and keto/carnivore is amazing. It's mainly calorie dense foods so you don't have to eat alot to hit 1600-2000 calories.
Dr. Berg, first I want to say, thank you for all of your free UA-cam videos. I just have a question about the shower filter, I don’t see where they list fluoride as one of the contaminants. Are we to just assume that it does?
I use activated charcoal capsules in my brita filter pitcher. I can take the capsules, but opening the capsules and stiring the water,its messy but the water tastes so much better when the charcoal settles to the bottom. I let it go thru the brita filter when i add tap water to the top.
This was wonderful information indeed! Opened my eyes on a few of those liquids. I am from Trinidad and grew up drinking coconut water!👍🏽
Thanks for the reminder. I am starting a new fasting routine in December to shift my system a little more. Learning more and making progress every day.
Hows the fast going?
Dr. Eric! I have been eating once a day. Some days are healthy and other days are not so healthy. I match with just about every symptom of high insulin resistance so I have started taking vitamin b1, d3, zinc, and fiber. I have noticed weight loss but have been experiencing a lot of watery bowel movements and I am wondering what that could mean? Is my body adjusting or is there something I could add to my diet to help with it? Thank you so much for your help and videos!
much appreciated Eric.
Thank you, as always, Dr. Berg! Back on keto/IF after gaining a ton of weight after my mom's sudden passing in April. I was just wondering about this topic last week. It's like you can read our minds! Keep up the great work. 🙌🙏
@Lea Aust so sorry for your loss! ♥️
Sorry to read about the loss of your mum. I lost my mum a few years ago so I can relate. The truth is that the pain never goes away but you learn to grow around the pain. Sending love and light
@@gracekadegbite971 I agree . 10 years for my Mom today. We were really close. I was lucky to have many vacations with just us two. Panama Canal Cruise in 2010 .
I’m sad for your heart 💜, my mom loved me and I feel lonely. I look at her pictures on my refrigerator
Im so sorry for your loss. praying for you.
I'm starting my 24-hour fast for the first time today, thanks for the information.
Glad to help!

How did it go?
@@Drberg does adding a little sugar to green tea effects the fast
Big thanks to you dr Berg..2017 until now..big help to us..
Since May 15th following Dr. Eric berg, I have went from 252lbs to 200lbs and still cutting weight. Thanks for changing my life sir.
Good job. Keep up the good work. Would you like to share your Keto/ IF success story on my website? I'd be happy to see your story there. Feel free to upload your story here: www.drberg.com/add-client-success-story
I love your videos, they helped me with weight loss and I’m in better health. Thank you
Your channel is amazing. Thank you so much for everything you've put into this!
Glad to help!

Love the channel...a wealth of knowledge.... I have gone from 192.5 to 168.5 and I feel great 👍 that being said, it makes me so sad to see that we shouldn't drink any alcohol at all.... Thought I had it figured out when I was drinking keto friendly alcohol with water and lemon juice ☹️ what is going to get me through the rest of COVID?? 😂
I am 8 hours in. I intend on doing a heavy 3×3 bodybuilding split for growth. I need to lose the slight love handles I have. This is also being done approximately 1 month back into the gym after a quite extensive lay off period from training as a whole. I am probably 19-22% body. All this after 7 years solid of weigh training prior to my break. 72 hour fast wish me luck!!
You are truly amazing Dr. Berg. You, Dy Ann Parham, and Jason Fung have saved my life through nutritional education. Thank you!
Very glad to be of help.
I love this man. He is funny, entertaining, and his information is top quality. I have learned a great deal and am healthier for it. I watch him often, some repeatedly. He's changed my life. That's something to say - about anyone!
You would say about anyone that they changed your life?
Didn't know I couldn't have my BCAA powder during my fast, 4 months in and I've been doing it wrong, guess it's all part of the learning curve. Thanks Dr. Berg!
Very informative video. Thanks Dr Berg ❤
You're welcome! Glad you found it helpful!
Great video. I’m going to try out intermittent fasting next week. I drink coffee everyday with creamer of course but going to try green tea with lemon in the mornings. Wish me luck!
Thanks Dr Berg for helping me do keto the right way in the US. Back home in Nigeria, everything is organic and I didn't need to use many filters to get 100% good food and I'd see health benefits/weight loss in as little as 3-5 days but here I got excited with variety on the shelf not knowing most do more harm than good,I gained some weight even on low carb , zero this here and there was wondering wt#???Now I know they have hidden/horrible additives .I'm starting all over, overhauled my pantry /refrigerator and spending a little more to get organic.
I cant believe this is free and so easily accessible
Very helpful. Great video!
Glad you liked it!
Hi Dr Berg, I love your channel! My father was a Chiropractor and very up on nutrition and taught us all the health information you discuss on here and this brings me to my question, my dad always cautioned us on consuming ultra pasteurized dairy products , what are your thoughts on this? Thank you for the awesome work. Paul
