In this podcast, we’re going to do a deep dive on things that will or will not break your fast. The topic of things that break a fast seems to come up a lot. I want to take some time to break down this topic and help you really understand it.
Types of fasting:
• Water fast — Involves not eating and only drinking water (no vitamins, coffee, etc.)
• Dry Fast — You’re not consuming any water or eating anything.
What we’re going to cover in this video are the degrees of breaking a fast. There are a lot of things that break a fast in a very minor and temporary way. There are actually certain things that I’m going to recommend you have during your fast because it’s so minor.
We’re also going to go over insulin and more things like being bumped out of ketosis vs. being bumped out of fat burning. I’m also going to go through a list of common things people wonder if they can or can’t have while fasting like tea and vitamins.
Fasting benefits:
• Ketosis
• Autophagy
• Lowered insulin
• Fat burning

| 0:21.6 | Welcome to the Dr. Berg's Healthy Keto and Interminute Fasting Podcast, where Dr. Berg takes you on the journey for the truth about getting healthy and losing healthy weight. So today we're going to do a deep dive on things that will potentially |
| 0:47.7 | break your fast and things that may not break your fast. So the topic of breaking your |
| 0:52.5 | fast seems to come up over and over and over as far as a major confusion for a lot of fast. So the topic of breaking your fast seems to come up over and over and over as far as |
| 0:55.1 | a major confusion for a lot of people. So I'm going to take each little part of this in |
| 1:00.4 | attempt to try to help you understand it in a very simple way. We'll see if I could pull it off. |
| 1:07.6 | A true fast, and we're talking about a water fast, involves not eating and only drinking water, |
| 1:15.2 | nothing else. Okay, so if you were to consume vitamins or coffee or anything, you are breaking the fast. |
| 1:21.7 | Okay. Dry fast. You're not consuming any water. You're not eating anything. Okay, that's what dry fast is. |
| 1:30.8 | Now, what I want to get into is the degrees of breaking a fast because there's a lot of things that will, |
| 1:38.0 | in a very minor way, possibly break your fast, but only in a temporary way, maybe for only 20 minutes to a half hour. |
| 1:46.4 | So I am going to recommend consuming certain things during your fast because it's a real |
| 1:51.1 | minor point. It's nothing to put attention on. But I want you to understand the relative |
| 1:56.5 | degrees of things that will break your fast versus those things that are very, very tiny |
| 2:01.4 | that will only break your fast a little bit and for a short period of time. But we also have to |
| 2:07.1 | differentiate between bumping you out of ketosis. That seems to be a confusion as well. |
| 2:12.9 | Ketosis is the state of producing ketones from fat. Now, if you're consuming MCT oil or exogenous ketones as a |
| 2:23.1 | supplement, you're going to be in ketosis regardless of what you eat and regardless of what's happening |
| 2:30.1 | with your own fat. So let's differentiate your body making ketones, like your liver actually producing |
| 2:35.8 | ketones from your own fat, versus you taking ketones externally, and your body's not actually |
