So happy to hear lemon and water passes because I put slices of lemon in my water every day. 😊

Apple Cider Vinegar also helps with satiety. If I feel a craving to eat just a little more at the end of a meal, I instead reach for a glass of water with 2 teaspoons of Apple Cider Vinegar and a pinch of salt. Does the trick!

I blenderize a peeled lemon in a Vitamix blender and pour this into ice cube trays. When I prepare my cup of white tea in the morning I put one cube of emulsified lemon into this tea to activate more of the antioxidants in this tea. Milk/cream in tea will destroy some of the antioxidants making the tea less healthy

Thank you Dr. Becky. I prefer just to stay with my black cup of coffee & water during my fasting window. I see the best results. As soon as I start adding anything the weight loss stalls.

I’ve started drinking a hot water with a wedge of squeezed lemon. I top it up a few times and it’s so satisfying first thing. 🇨🇦

Dr Becky, five years ago I went heavy into stopping sugar and low carb. I found it relatively easy to do and keto sticks showed that I was definitely producing large amounts of ketones. However a few months in I started to get bad heart palpitations that became diagnosed as AFib. This scared the hell out of me TBH as you can imagine. Since then I’ve gone back to eating carbs as before, I do limit sugar intake though. I read that because low carb diets can mean the body tissues can not hold onto electrolytes so well may have been a cause of my AFib - over the last 4 years magnesium taurate along with a balanced diet has meant I haven’t had any more AFib episodes.

I have notice recently that my sugar cravings have gone up hence me watching your channel - I don’t want to go full keto again in case I’m predisposed to AFib when on keto but I am keen to follow your sensible advice to cut sugar cravings.

Great channel ❤

Thank you, Dr. Becky for your videos. I’m a long term time-restricted eater but I’m now taking medications that require some intake. Current life doesn’t allow true fasting. So, I call it time restriction instead and found small drinks of keto coffee and broth have helped me loose weight, stay in ketosis (most of the time) while staving off hunger to get me through 18-20 hours. Blood sugars are maintaining well enough that I’m off all injectables and working on coming off a combination drug that I needed to qualify for surgery. I’m healing well, losing weight, and I’ve found a lifestyle I can and will maintain because it maintains me.

I have started with a cup of boiled water instead of coffee or tea. Is great !!!! Coffee in the morning, one or two teas the rest hot water. Works.

Thank you for clarifying, coffee drinker here. very informative and motivating video.

[sirdarklust]

I'm curious about water made with spices, like cinnamon or fenugreek water. I use them to make tea.

I always hear people say don’t use stevia or monk fruit because it will make it easier to slide back into regular sugar. But what if I have the discipline to prevent this? Because I’ve used stevia and monk fruit regularly, and I find it very easy to stay on course. I haven ‘t touched real sugar for years now.
