Fasting Mistakes! - How To Fast Correctly For Longevity | Cynthia Thurlow

The Intermittent Fasting community is often divided on the issue of "clean" versus "dirty" fasting, with strong arguments on both sides. As a writer, I always recommend prioritizing your personal goals when considering this topic.

It's important to ask yourself: Are you fasting to enhance autophagy, achieve weight loss, or for another specific purpose? Once you identify your purpose for fasting, you can tailor your approach accordingly.

In my latest video, I delve into my own perspective on fasting and provide guidance on which fasting rules to adhere to based on your individual goals. Additionally, I explore the topic of clean fasting, outlining what you can and cannot consume during this type of fast. I also touch on the concept of dirty fasting, discussing what types of foods and drinks are permitted during this approach.

As an added bonus, I offer my thoughts on the popular trend of fatty coffees that many individuals inquire about. I encourage you to watch my video to gain insight into this fascinating topic.

Thanks for spreading the good word on fasting! I'm more of a dirty faster, but my goal is to get cleaner as I go! I've lost 48 lbs so far.

[ilonaumukoro]

I'm about to begin IF. These tips really gave me answers to questions I had.

[thehealingroad]

Great info! Thank you for clearing up the confusion about what does and does not break a fast! :-)

[nancypearson]

My stomach cannot take black coffee or tea. Would just a teaspoon of half and half be enough to break my fast?

[walkinfaithnotbysight]

You mentioned sugar touching your tongue being a trigger. When I'm make my kids oatmeal with honey in the morning, if I taste test, then spit it out, would that do anything?

[michellethoe]

Great information, so many mixed views on this subject.

Any direction on calories to consume during feeding state? I know you talked about calories in, calories out as not a great way, but this is where it all gets confusing. Is there any direction on what to eat?

[angielee]

Cynthia, can you confirm that liquid collagen doesn't break your fast? I started taking Modere liquid collagen for my joints and was told it doesn't break the fasting. Thanks!

[ntoiti_kanana]

Does it mean you can take sugar on your eating window?

[julesfairfax]

She says it is simple, then goes SO fast, it seems horribly difficult and IFFY, besides!

[monicaahern]

What if we add oat milk to our coffee?

[mandymiller]

So you can have up to 50 calories during the fast?? 😊

Coffee is the worst fasting beverage- it raises cortisol, depletes minerals and is full of pesticide residues. Herbal teas, such as nettle which is rich in minerals or an adaptagenic tea like holy basil which lowers cortisol are best for fasting.
