Acceptable Liquids During Fasting: COMPLETE LIST

0:34 Drinks you need to avoid while fasting: • Bone broth: because it has protein and protein stimulate insulin • Collagen powder: same issue as bone broth • Branch Chain Amino Acids: same issue as bone broth • Coconut water: because it has a good amount of sugar • Coffee: black coffee is totally fine. Whole cream you can do but there's going to be a slight decrease in some of the benefits of your fast • Bulletproof coffee: if you're trying to lose weight and have done fasting for a period of time maybe just have the black coffee, but if you're trying to maintain weight go for bulletproof coffee • Energy drinks/Gatorade: because they have sugar • Soda with artificial sweeteners: Even though they don't have sugar, they have artificial chemicals that interrupt the microbiome in your gut that can indirectly cause problems with your insulin levels • Alcohol • Soy drinks: avoid them • Almond milk: if it's just almond and water, maybe, but it still has calorie • Milk: avoid milk. Yogurt has more sugar than kefir, if you had a choice between yogurt and kefir, go for kefir • Beverages with bouillon cubes: if you can find ones without maltodextrin or monosodium glutamate then they're good 10:23 What you can drink while fasting: • Water • Electrolytes • Apple cider vinegar • Adding lemon/lime • Supplements (make sure they're not protein powder type) • Green tea • Black coffee (maybe with a little cream or half and half) • Don't forget sea salt Thank you Dr. Berg Sincerely, 11 : 11 Meditation Portal Channel

Since I’ve been fasting and intermittent fasting all the guys at work have developed an opinion about me. However one of them asked me the other day how much weight have you lost? Another one sad you look better like brighter. They can clearly tell that I have plenty of energy because I’m out working then. I’ve watched this channel for a couple of years now but never took anything serious because I was lazy and was just making excuses. A little bit of discipline and finally the desire to be a better version of myself has pushed me fully off the edge and I plan on doing this for the rest of my life. A couple weeks ago I was 265 pounds this morning I weighed in at 246.2. Thanks doctor for your free information that is changing my life.!!!

Just completed my first 38 hr fast! I do OMAD in the week and 2 meals on the weekend. Feeling great!

Sharing Dr Bergs notes: Drinks not to consume while fasting: • Bone broth • Collagen powder • BCAA • Coconut water • Coffee with sugar or flavors • Pre-workout drinks • Energy drinks • Sports drinks • Commercial electrolyte drinks (electrolyte powder sweetened with a natural sweetener like stevia is fine) • Soda with artificial sweeteners (sodas with stevia, xylitol, erythritol, or monk fruit are fine) • Beer and alcohol • Soy drinks • Milk • Drinks with bouillon cubes (if the bouillon doesn't have MSG and maltodextrin, then it's fine to have) Drinks that are acceptable but may set you back just slightly: • Bulletproof coffee • Coffee with a small amount of half-and-half or cream • Dry wine • Almond milk (check the ingredients) Drinks you can have while fasting: • Water (carbonated water, water with electrolytes, and water with apple cider vinegar, lemon, or lime are all fine) • Tea • Black coffee It's important to consume sea salt while fasting—you can add sea salt to your drinks throughout the day. You can also take supplements while fasting as long as they aren't protein powders. It can actually be beneficial to take supplements while fasting Thank you Dr Berg!! 🐱👍🏿

I’ve been fasting for about 4 days now. Around day 3 I started feeling awful and got so a lot of stomach problems, feeling really drowsy, and was having trouble focusing. I added some half and half to my coffee and I felt so much better after an hour. All my symptoms went away. I’m still losing 2 pounds as well

20 lbs down in 3 weeks! 20/4 with workin out. I feel absolutely fantastic

Thanks Doc because of you if lost over 20 pounds in 1 month. From 230 to 210 and lifting heavy weights 💪🏾

Been following your videos Dr. Berg. Been doing intermittent fasting for a year now. I start with black coffee with lemon juice and honey in the morning and eat nothing until midday. I start with a green smoothie at midday before lunch. I also work out 3 times a week with dumbbells. I just noticed the other day, that I no longer have belly fat and cellulite. I used to think that if I don't have breakfast I will be too hungry to work but instead I have more energy.

Not feeling good? I recommend 2 Dr Berg videos a day for the next 30 days. You will willingly choose to change the way you eat and experience feeling way better!

I learned from you of course-those are the only things I allow myself during my IF & I'm so happy to see that they're the only ones allowed. You are the best Dr. Berg and I can't thank you enough, so I will... 😁🌟 THANK YOU!!

His presentation is excellent, packed with useful information. Just wonderful. Thank you Dr Berg.

completed a 5 day 120 hour and two minute water fast with himalayan salt sprinkled into it, I'm transitioning to alternate day fasting 36 hour fasts, thank you, i'll focus on yerba mate, green tea, matcha, and black coffee. Thank you for your insights I have been on this journey for 3 years and countinuously learning.

5:08 agreed 💯. It's almost impossible to find a sugarless food item without maltodextrin in it

Answered a lot of questions, especially the use of whole cream (Heavy whipping cream) and half and half in black coffee. Thanks for the all the great information.

I'm starting my 4th week of fasting after watching your videos. I'm fortunate my insurance let me take Ozempic. Still on .25 for another week. I only eat between 12pm and 6pm. My weight in this morning, I'm down 22 pounds, and 2 inches off my chest and .....4.... inches off my waist. Thank you for all the information I've gained from watching you. I'd love to have a personal plan from you moving forward. Thank you, Thank you, Thank you. You and your channel has been a great help to making my journey a reality. God Bless you 🙏

Dr Berg is my favourite. Thank you so much for helping us with all this information which doctors will never give us ☺️

Very informative. Thank you Doctor Berg for sharing. Watching from Germany

I've been almost two years on keto, and about 18 months of intermittent fasting, black coffee and black tea haven't affected me at all. Doctor Berg's videos have truly been life changing. My go to drink is acv, lime and water, question, does inulin fibre break a fast?

I love that you sell products and you have videos on great information. This is amazing. I am so glad I stumbled across you. I’ve been listening to your videos every day and I get so much out of it and I just ordered a bunch of vitamins and supplements from your website I am so glad you carry a line like this. This is amazing. Thank you so much.

I have learned alot from you on how the body works. You put it simply which I genuinely appreciate. ❤
