instagram: @dr.larosa THE BENEFITS OF INTERMITTENT FASTING DEPEND MAINLY ON TWO THINGS. 1 A DECREASE IN INSULIN IN OUR BODY 2 AUTOPHAGY THEREFORE WHAT YOU CAN TAKE DURING FASTING DEPENDS ON WHAT BENEFIT YOU ARE LOOKING FOR IF YOU ARE MAINLY INTERESTED IN LOSING BODY FAT AND OBTAINING THE HEALTH BENEFITS THAT A REDUCTION IN INSULIN GIVES YOU, YOU WILL BE ABLE TO TAKE THE FOLLOWING DURING THE HOURS OF FASTING: WATER, TEA, COFFEE, MATE, INFUSIONS AND WITH SOME EXCEPTIONS APPLE CIDER VINEGAR AND BONE BROTH CAN I SWEETEN THOSE DRINKS? NO YOU CAN USE MCT, COCONUT OIL OR BULLETPROOF WITH YOUR COFFEE AND STILL GET THE VAST MOST OF THE BENEFITS OF INSULIN REDUCTION CAN I USE 0% SUGAR SWEETENERS? THEY DON’T STIMULATE A RESPONSE IN YOUR BODY CALLED THE CEPHALIC PHASE OF INSULIN, INCREASING BLOOD INSULIN VALUES AND CUTTING OFF THE BENEFIT OF FASTING. ONLY USE THEM IF THEIR USE ALLOWS YOU TO GET USED TO FASTING UNTIL YOU CAN AVOID THEM. IF I WANT THE BENEFITS OF AUTOPHAGY AND AN INCREASE IN LONGEVITY, WHAT SHOULD I TAKE: JUST WATER AND MINERALS (MAGNESIUM, POTASSIUM, OR ADD A LITTLE SEA SALT OR PINK SALT TO THE WATER) CAN I TAKE MY SUPPLEMENTS ON AN EMPTY STOMACH? YES, NO SUPPLEMENT HAS BEEN SHOWN TO BREAK THE FAST (UNLESS YOU TAKE 10,000 mg OF OMEGA 3, WHICH IS UNLIKELY)
