so I wanted to create this short video on things that don’t break your fast I keep getting this question over and over and over again so instead of explaining it I’m just going to create a video on it we have to realize is the ideal scene is to only drink water when you’re fasting but really it’s all about insulin it’s about keeping insulin low so if you were to consume something that kept insulin low it really is not going to interfere with your the benefits of fasting okay realize that carbs in protein stimulate insulin so especially carbs and that would include collagen okay protein powder there’s carbs in milk for example there so like lactose milk sugar there’s also protein powder like whey protein that has a real big effect on insulin now there’s a certain type of carbohydrate that doesn’t affect insulin and that would be fiber okay so fiber is not going to increase insulin so let’s say for example you’re eating celery or a little bit of a green salad well the carbohydrate in that is so low because it’s mostly fiber it’s not going to have that much effect on insulin so you’re not going to have to worry about it too much and the other interesting thing is fat fat has the least effect on insulin okay I’m talking MCT oil butter coconut oil whole cream now if you’re doing half-and-half for example doing half milk and half cream there’s a little more carbohydrate in that so we may affect insulin a little bit if you’re gonna put the half-and-half in your coffee but if you want to just take it to the next level use whole cream in which there’s like hardly any carbohydrates and I mean maybe there’s like one carbohydrate but make its I think it’s actually less than one carb and of course butter has less carbohydrates than whole cream so butter is just pure fat so you can actually maybe put that in your coffee now what about sugar alcohols the alternative sweeteners right well you have salat all which does affect insulin a little bit so just take a little bit if you want to take it it’s low on the scale but just take a little bit in your coffee if you want to do that a wreath rotol is like zero fact an insulin multi-tool is really bad don’t even use that that’s like I think it’s 58 on the glycemic index and then you also have things like stevia monk fruit which don’t have any effect on insulin at all so those are fine so you can do sugar alcohols certain ones tea is fine coffee is fine but of course if you’re drinking a lot of coffee and that could be a problem because it could start to stimulate cortisol which would then increase insulin and by the way stress does raise insulin to seven degrees so that’s nothing that you’re eating but just realize that that stress can spike insulin a little bit if it’s too high and then we have supplements supplements will not increase insulin so don’t worry about that green powder usually has less than one gram of carbohydrate and fiber or no fiber it’s a lot of chlorophyll and a lot of concentrated green this is totally fine I wouldn’t worry about green powder when you’re doing insulin so anyway I just wanted to create this short video just to kind of cover the basic points so you know how to do it correctly thanks for watching so if you’re enjoying this content go ahead and share it with someone that could really benefit from it
