Hey Thomas, been following you and your advice for a few years. Love your work!!! Through all your videos and of course experimenting with what works for me, I have now found success. I legit know and understand my daily and weekly macros for optimal Body Fat Loss (BFP) and Weight Loss (Kg). You taught me so many things about how to break a fast the best way (This was definitely a issue) and what breaks a fast (Also an issue because I wasn't fasting when I thought I was) etc. I can't stand the smell of ACV let alone taste. So, every single morning I wake up and have my Lemon and Salt water to hydrate then have certain supplements fasted (You taught me which ones and why). Later when I eat proper, I take more supplements to help with being Vegetarian Keto. I've tried, failed and succeeded in going keto but due to mega gut health issues, I kept failing over the last 2 years. UNTIL I understood that Carrageenan was in EVERYTHING I ate as Vegan Keto. Switched to Vegetarian Keto and gave all the food away with the "bad" ingredients ... my weight and body fat % is decreasing every single week for 7 weeks now. Today I weighed in and discovered I dropped 1.4kg and 0.8% Body Fat last week. This new lifestyle is so awesome and I am beyond grateful for all the info you provide us. Thank you from my heart to yours, for helping me positively change my life, my health and my daily habits. I will forever be grateful Thomas. <3 After all these years, this is my first comment on your videos. :-) (PS - I give you permission to use this testimonial any where you choose for marketing purposes and will happily provide a video testimonial if you would like, especially down the track when I have implemented more of your teachings and reached my goals.)

I'm always amazed and the science you roll . But no matter if I can't grasp all what you tell . I feel great after drinking lemon water through the day . It has a naturally calming effect on the gut and more.

I practice prolonged fasting only occasionally. So, for me, the benefit of avoiding lemon juice during these fasts is clear: my body's autophagy will not be interrupted. However, I am glad to learn of all of the benefits of lemon juice Thomas described here which will benefit me during my normal feeding periods.

03:09 The European Journal of Nutrition research shows a result for drinking lemon juice lowering the glucose concentration peak by 30% and delaying it for 35 minutes (not by 35%). Plotting a graph of % vs minutes will show the results. However, Thomas, a very informative research-backed video overall. Excellent job.

Drinking lemon water instead of plain water for about 2 wks… the effectiveness of weight loss from IF actually slowed down but I notice my Body Fat % is on the downward trend as well

I am not doing a dedicated fast but do have long periods at night till morning that I dont eat anything. I have lemon with my Ice Tea during my larger lunch meal and a smaller snacks for breakfast and dinner. I dont eat any other snacks during the whole day. So far it is working along with moderate exercise and my weight is slowly coming down. 2 weeks ago I was 206 pounds and now down to 196 pounds. So lemon doesnt seem to hurt what I am doing. take care.

I drink lime juice in water every morning, and all day. One for the healthy benefits, but secondly, because I really like the way it tastes.

God Bless You, and thank you for sharing your research. One statement you made is very true (not that the others weren't), people fast for different reasons. I was a long term T2D faced with kidneys functioning at 28%. First thing my Dr did was take me off Metforman and called a Nephrologist and made an appointment. In rural Ohio, that was 7 weeks down the road! Not a fun place to be for 7 weeks. My research began. My course of action was LFLC diet (14 months now). Of that time about 5 or 6 months OMAD and I love it. Fifteen months I remain med free and kidney function now 68%! My goal was never to lose weight, my primary goal is to achieve metabolic health and remain unmedicated (still on bp meds). In my research regarding lemon water. As you pointed out, there are a lot of reasons to include lemon water while fasting. I chose to drink it upon waking. My one meal is at 10:00 am and I believed on an empty stomach, it would have time to help cleanse the liver and mitigate kidney stones ( never has any don't want any - i feel my kidneys were stressed enough. My research said i would 1/2 cup a day. I did this only for a few weeks. I still consider myself a diabetic, albeit in remission, I still have high morning blood glucose levels and the lemon juice didn't help (2 week experiment). 1/2 cup fresh squeezed lemon juice has 10 grams of carbs. On my ketogenic lifestyle, I limit carbs to 20 per day. I sincerely appreciate you sharing your research, mine has been rather limited in scope - metabolic lense. You have provided a broader perspective. I may need to reassess my carb limit. Thank you.

Thomas, have you tried eating the whole lemon? That is, put in a blender everything, the skin, pulp, and pith. (It might be good to remove the seeds.) You can dilute it with water to reduce dental issues. Some people do this with their surplus of lemons that are about to go bad and freeze it for later. ( You could buy bulk in a store at a discount because they are getting old.)

On a related topic, have you tried to make the Moroccan preserved lemons? If you are looking for a topic for a cooking ( or food prep) this might be good. Fermentation is another one, an interview with Sandor Katz and publishing it on YouTube would be cool!

I have a cup of hot lemon water (I call it my lemon tea) before going to bed. I then have 1 tsp of fresh squeezed lemon juice and cold pressed extra virgin olive oil in the am before eating anything.
