I started intermittent fasting after I had my son and weighed 231 lb on a 5'7 frame that was very very willowy. I could go without eating during my window as long as I was able to have some coffee. So I allowed myself to have that coffee the way I normally took it, which was with sweetener and a little creamer. And that seemed to help curb my cravings. I ended up losing 106 lbs and have kept it off for over 6 years. This is just my way of life now

Pickle juice Vitamin supplements Coffee or tea without sugar Nutpods Ashwagandha Salt Ginger Sparkling water Turmeric Heavy cream half half Coconutmilk Lemon Butter plus coconut oil Cinnamon Mint Chia seeds Stevia plus monk fruit Cucumber Magnesium Apple cider vinegar

I had a 94 year old salon client who took zero meds and swore by pickle juice for controlling her sugar.

I’m so glad someone addressed all of this, I used to fast like this and anytime anyone told me not to have this stuff, I lost 15 lbs just by doing fasting in 21 days and noticed such a difference.

We can always count on you for easy to understand, sound information 🙌🏽💜

Thank you so much for this! I fast for faith reasons and did not realize how much health benefits it has! 🙌

Just wanted to say thank you for making these videos for everybody who needs direction on fasting I was so lost until I found your page

I've been fasting for 20 hours a day for the past 6 months I lost a lot of weight and I'm very healthy I eat 4 to 5 cucumbers a day and I chew them it fills me up hydrates me This is one of the best vegetables ever for me anyways

I am so glad I found you! I started intermittent fasting and doing iffy at it at the start of the year. Not strict with it but glad it has given me more structure. But looking forward to getting my health and diet back on track! Thank you for all the knowledge!

Very helpful list!!! Very thorough!!! Thank u for all that u do!!!💞💞🙃💞💞

Thank you Autumn, always informative. I really appreciate this!

Thank you for the video!!! I’m currently fasting and this information helps 😎🙏🏽

Let’s get it! Great highlights!! Keep them coming bro!!

An americano with 1 ounce pure C8 MCT oil usually around the 13-14 hour and breakfast 15-18 hour. I make my own lemon ginger shots that break the fast with. Then 2 tablespoons of Trader Joe’s raw almond butter then tea with collagen then some Turkey bacon and 2 eggs That can sustain me for about 4 hours. Sometimes I just eat a late breakfast then dinner by 4-5 pm

Yay to week 2! Feeling great, loving all these healthy meals, and seeing results. Thank you Autumn.

Sticking with water. Anything with fruit or spice flavors spikes my hunger. No problem with water, black coffee, black tea.

Excellent list. I’m 55 and 5’2” and I put on thyroid and menopausal weight. I’m now close to my weight I was in my 20s! I use a bit of HWC in my coffee and slices of lemon in my water. Hasn’t stopped weight loss but helps me fast longer.

I'm 3 going on 4th day of my fast. I already see and feel a difference....all positive. I wish I would have known you were doing this. I'm going to do a 72 hour fast to reset..my system

Thank you for NOT editing your video with that annoying, choppy crap that other people do. I know this was a live stream but still, it makes a video unwatchable when others do it. How much longer does it take to post with all the excessive editing?? How many times does someone screw up while making a recording?? Thank you for being knowledgeable and easy to watch and listen to.

Day 25…only down - 5 lbs on 20:4 2 meals…still craving…but will power prevents cookie snacking… -15 to go… 158 to 138 …46F

That was a lot of great information 😊 Thank you! Can I use 1/8th tsp of Himalayan pink salt instead of Celtic sea salt instead during the fasting period?

Just found your page last night. I am hooked. You put out so much important information in a quick, no nonsense way, concise way, also love that you reference where to find details about a subject that goes a little deeper. I am going to binge on your videos in the next several days to get all the info rather quickly. Have 100 lbs to lose by early-mid 2025 (50th HS class reunion :))

During my fast I use 1/8 tsp of Celtic salt and 1/2tsp of Trace Minerals drops in my 1st water of the morning.

This was so good! Can you tell us which ones will not affect autophagy? Or can we just assume pure fats?

If I'm hungry during a fast, I'll drink Water 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar 1 pinch salt 1 pinch cinnamon (occasionally I've added some freshly squeezed lemon juice) It's not always easy to swallow it. I have gagged several times drinking it 🙈 BUT it really helps to calm down the hunger. The minute it's down, I can literally feel my tummy feeling calmed & relaxed 😊

Good information on fasting, thank you

This is really helpful!

I switched to intermittent fasting over a year ago. I've lost 50lbs. I'm not perfect with it when comes to breaking my fast but I am consistent. I drink keto coffee or green tea with lemon. I take a multivitamin as well. I also workout at the gym 3-4 days a week for 1.5 hrs each day. I would like to see a vid on fasting during the holidays. I just found your channel so I don't know if you've done that already. Thanks for the vid!

Have to be honest, first i didn't think I'll hear helpful informations in this video, but you always tell something I didn't really think of... Thank you✌️

I'm so thankful you addressed this cause I really didn't know. Organic loose leaf herbal tea with nothing added is the first thing I drink in the morning. I'm glad to know it doesn't break my fast.😊

Yes for next week information

Yay! I’m so happy about Nut Pods! I thought I was breaking fast every morning.

Black coffee with a bit of potassium powder, sea salt, heavy cream and a vanilla bean powder I found on Amazon that is only sweetened w a bit of monk fruit. After that all water especially carbonated to curb the hunger and give your stomach a more full filling. On day 4!!!

Looks nice and relaxing 💚

When it comes to trusting someone who discusses food and health in general, the first thing I look for is how healthy the individual appears. And you definitely pass with flying colors! You look incredibly healthy and radiant!

So good job, Autumn!❤❤

Your content really help. I have started weight loss so many times and failed. I am understanding a lot from you about what to eat and how to fast that was so confusing now am getting it. Thank you Autumn am watching you all the way from kenya. Kindly talk about green powders how to include them in our diet and how they help.

Hi love my green tea love it. I try drink with half hour before with cinnamon

Such great information ❤

Good info. Thank you 🤗🙏🏾. What are your thoughts about nuts in general, cashews, almonds, walnuts and pistachios? I eat nuts in my eating window sometimes. Thank you again 😊🌷

Please clarify regarding cinnamon. I understand Ceylon cinnamon is the only type that stabilizes blood sugar/insulin. The Saigon type is a totally different type and may also affect the kidneys.

Hi, when you say 1 tablespoon of heavy cream, would that be 1 tablespoon during the whole fasting window? Or say I have 2 coffees during the fasting window, could I have 1 tablespoon of heavy cream in each one?

Hey you!!! Happy New Year ♥️

Stevia and monkfruit do raise insulin. The effect on blood sugar doesn't mean there is no insulin response. Nut pods contain emulcifiers. Protein powders even during the meal are a highly processed food and often contain sweeteners Dr. Jason Fung recommends against all of these things

I started this journey a wk ago, so glad I found your pg. Thanks

Oh wow am I ever happy that i happened onto Autumn,s video

I’m thinking cucumbers and vinegar helps too it’s also really GOOD especially when cold 🤤

Hey there! I am new to intermittent fasting and this video was a lifesaver! I am a creamer with my coffee type of person so I'm happy that you covered nut pods! Question however is what's the safest maximum amount that I could put in my coffee without breaking my fast?

22:16 The thing that makes ACV different and better than any other vinegar is that it contains malic acid, in addition to acetic acid. I bought a bag of malate about 2 years ago (it is sold in wine-making stores as a wine additive; it makes white wine taste a bit like cider) and it still lasts me, since the amounts one consumes for health are so small. If you put a tiny pinch of malate powder into a glass of water it makes malic acid. If you take a mouthful, your teeth start to hurt right away as it dissolves the enamel fast; so don't do it. If you put a rod of ultra-pure magnesium metal in it, it starts to bubble up (but these are hydrogen bubbles; not carbon dioxide) and it makes magnesium malate (but for this to happen fast the water should be at boiling temperature). I do this sometimes. The hydrogen has additional health benefits; it is probably the most powerful antioxidant. So I get 3 benefits: magnesium, malate, and hydrogen. If the acidity of ACV bothers you, here's something you can do: Save the shells of the eggs you crack, but make sure you buy organic eggs, always. Once you have a handful or two of shells, crush them small, by hand or using a rolling pin or other method, put them into a big glass jar, and pour ACV just to cover the shells. Cover with a cloth and a rubber band (it attracts fruit flies) and let bubble and foam for a few hours. Filter first through a sieve and then through a paper or cloth filter to remove remaining eggshell solids and eggshell membrane fragments. What remains is partially (50% to 75%) de-acidified ACV, with a wealth of calcium and other minerals, good for your bones specially. You can now pour this ACV on your salad and it will taste like cider vinegar in every way except the acidity will now be mild. Delicious, nutritious, and more sustainable than throwing precious eggshells to the garbage. FYI, there will be malates and acetates of mostly calcium, as well as of other minerals in trace amounts, including phosphorous, copper, zinc and manganese. There's magnesium in it, too, but only in trace amounts, so you do need to worry about the calcium/magnesium ratio. Works fine with either white or brown egg-shells. Note that eggshells often have salmonella on them; and although the vinegar will kill them, you can inadvertently spread salmonella around your kitchen surfaces and utensils when working with eggshells, so clean everything well with soap, afterwards. By the way, malate/malic acid is the only dietary substance that gradually dissolves cholesterol stones in the liver (though lecithin helps too). Its presence in blood also helps dissolve any calcium deposits on artery walls (as does niacin). If you don't like ACV, and you don't want to deal with malate powder because you hate chemistry, I think the easiest way to get your fix is by consuming magnesium malate pills. I take two kinds of magnesium pills: magnesium bis-glycinate AND magnesium malate (besides making my own sometimes, for the hydrogen). ((And yes, the hydrogen bubbles up, but at least a fraction of it dissolves into the water, so some of it goes go to the stomach. To argue that hydrogen is a gas and will float up through your body is not a fair argument, as states of matter (solid, liquid, gas, plasma) are states of large quantities of a given substance, in large molecular counts; it does not really make sense to speak of the state of matter of a single molecule. Hydrogen indeed disperses through the body; it can pass through cell walls, through entire organs, through bone, and doesn't even notice the blood-brain barrier; it goes "wherever it wants" because of how small it is. One good thing about hydrogen (H2) is that it neutralizes two hydroxyl radicals at once: 2 x OH- + H2 => 2 x H2O.)) EDIT: By the way, I'm keto-vegetarian (NOT to confuse with "vegan"). To clarify, I'm keto for my health; vegetarian for the environment. I do not believe in any plant-based health claims vegans make. I once had a vegan colleague whose lies I confronted, and who finally confessed to falsifications in their claims, but switched the argument to that "the ends justify the means". As a philosopher, not only do I not believe good ends justify evil means, but I believe that evil means always fail to achieve any good ends; and you can see how the carnivore fad is a consequence or reaction to the hateful ways of the vegan movement. And I just subscribed to this channel; seems pretty good; this is my first comment.

????Can I use True Lemon crystalized lemon packets? If yes, how much during a fast is ok????

The salt in coffee is pretty interesting. I like it

RYZE mushroom coffee has 0 protein and 1 carb - I enjoy!

Good info . Getting into longer fasts and def need some of these hacks when it gets super hard . Do you suggest not exercising when you are doing longer fasts ? If so , at which hour do you suggest starting to take it easy? Mindy pelz mentions a bite of avocado or a tiny bite of nut butter ? Sometimes her info is all over the place and yours is specific which I appreciate . Also does it matter how much pickle juice you have during the fast ?

How far apart should fat soluable vitamins be taken? Thanks!

Thank you 🙏

Will you do the challenge again in 2024 NewYear??? November heading into all the Hollidays but I've been intermittent fasting for 3 months. I use AG1 w ACV as one of my midmorning meals 70+ vitamins minerals. Great addition to fast💜💜💜💜

I know what nutrient information says but as a type 1 diabetic coffee, decaf and even black, spike glucose in some people a lot. Like to the point I have to take insulin. I can also confirm using lemon will drop glucose as does green tea.

Thanks for this! It made me feel validated that I can take my normal coffee the way I wanted 😭

I start my day with a glass of water with 1 TBSP of ACV, 1TBSP of grated ginger and 1/2 lemon juice as well as a cup of tea with coconut milk and 1 tsp of MCT oil

Vinegar has 2 other benefits for those who may have the problems it solves. 1. Acid reflux. Take a teaspoon to a tablespoon of it every morning and night. 2. Internal yeast. Yes we can develope type of yeast that is not good for us inside our bodies. Drinking a shot glass of it and staying away from carbs and sugars of all kinds will help with that. I am sure it has other benefits but these two are ones I have experienced and it helped my body get rid of those two issues.

Fresh grated nutmeg in a cup of warm coconut almond milk for help with sleep. 😴😴😴

Do the benefits of lemon change if you use lemon concentrate vs fresh?

??? Hello! I would like to know if 45 ml of unsweetened organic soy milk (about 0,54g of carbs) in black tea will break my fast. Thank’s! Buy the way great video as usual!😊 ???

I asked so many different people pickle juice would run my fast thank you for answering that I asked a couple different channels and they will never answer me. I wonder if the same is for olive juice

Love pickle juice! 😋

coffee black w salt, seltzer w electrolytes and magnesium. intermittent fasts are so short, though, less than 24 hrs, I shouldn't think you'd need so many tricks to get through them.

Hi , any suggestions to help with pcos ? Thank you 😊

What about vitamin C? Doesn't it cause insulin to spike due to its chemical similarities to glucose?

No problem with only water and tea here on 18-6

Where did the zero calorie rule for fasting come from? I realized that coffee has a few calories so it’s confusing when people say coffee will not break fast but same people will say if you consume any caloric intake, you will break your fast.

Hi autumn, I just found your channel and I am starting keto so I want to know if 2 teaspoons of oat milk and one package of munkfruit sugar added coffee break the fast

you have lemon, but double checking one half of lime squeezed into my first glass or morning water?

How much of the Nut Pods can go in coffee without breaking the fast? And is it only the 'basic' one? Not the vanilla unsweetened one?

Hello Autumn. I fast for about 20 hours Monday thru Friday. Would a drink concoction of water, magnesium, pickle juice, ACV and Vital Proteins Collagen powder be okay during my fasting time?

what do think about air frying ?

In terms of the coffee, I recently just learned that if you use really good water, really good coffee and if you don’t 100% grind the beans leave them a little pour you can get that good taste without adding the salt. So I’d like to grind my beans and do it pour over .

Imagine telling our ancestors there would come a time when we would have to challenge ourselves NOT to eat.

What are some good protein foods to eat?

Salt is most important if started new saves the headache most definitely

How are the karate lessons coming along? I am looking forward to the day you become a karate master and I can call you master Bates!

How can I get the book, or pamphlet for the 21 day intermittent fasting?

I use heavy whipping cream in my coffee. No carbs.

Ok

What type of magnesium do you reconvene

Hey I'm trying to add on muscle from doing keto having a time figuring it out

Thanks for the info. How many times can you consume these food ? once ? one of each and only once ?

I have a question! Does inositol break a fast? I take it as a sleep supplement

Are you doing planning to do 21 day fasting challange ?

What about MCT oil?

What about brewed cacao?

I feel that am able to eat anything I want but not overdo it and I’m seeing results Still losing weight My fast starts right after lunch and drink lots and lots of water 18.6/18.4 With being a type 1 diabetic it helps me control my sugars overall So good to find out that pickle juice will cut my sugar cravings

Thank you. Does smoking weed break a fast? 😅 I’m serious tho and can’t seem to find videos on this

????Hi Autumn, I have a specific coffee question. I usually do at 16 hour fast. In the morning I have coffee with 1/4 cup of full cream milk which I froth. Does this break my fast please? I have heard so many varied opinions and would like some clarification please. I did try keto coffee but not able to make it now as I don't have access to a blender. thank you ????

Thank you Autumn - I actually cannot pronounce your name, when I need to name a season, I say "fall" :D

So, if you add two or more of the allowable items in the allowable amounts to your water, such as ginger with lemon and mint to your water, does combining them throw you out?

I kinda figure it out but what if I make tea and follow your amounts and add coconut oil , turmeric, cinnamon, and lemon will that combined take me out of fasting

On the Nutpods..how much do you recommend for one not to break a fast?

I’m asking same question: Can popcorn @ coconut oil be my “ second meal@8 pm?

What about combining these?

??????? By sparkling water, this also means mineral water, like pellegrino ? Thats ok during fasting? Thanks! ❤
