Intermittent Fasting: Does Drinking Coffee Boost Benefits? - Thomas DeLauer… Does black coffee break your fast? Does it eradicate all the benefits that you would normally get from fasting when you have that single cup of joe? I'm going to break it down in this video, I'm going to give you some food for thought when it comes down to what you're truly trying to get out of your fast.
All right, let's get down to the science for a minute. So when you look at coffee, we have to really understand what we're trying to get from both coffee but also what we're trying to get out of our fast. We know that coffee can induce some kind of fat-burning effects. We also know that fasting can induce all kinds of fat-burning effects, but we have to look at when they work together and when they don't. You see, if you are fasting because you're trying to completely abstain from food and beverages altogether, then it's pretty simple, it's pretty cut and dry, no, you shouldn't have coffee, but if you're trying to fast because you're looking for metabolic effect and the autophagy effects which is where you basically recycle cells and consolidate cells, then actually, coffee can be very beneficial for you. I'm going to help you understand in this video.
When we look at fasting, we have to look at the two key benefits that most of us are probably seeking out. One is fat loss. Fasting boosts fat loss via the production of catecholamines, adrenaline, noradrenaline, epinephrine, stimulating what is called hormone sensitive lipase. Basically it turns on fat burning at the cellular and hormonal level, but additionally fasting has a huge benefit when it comes down to autophagy. I sound like a broken record because you've probably heard me talk about this in other videos, but autophagy is simply where the body recycles cells. If we have old cells that are kind of decrepit and not doing a good job anymore, stronger cells are going to go through and they're going to eat those cells and they're going to consolidate and become one stronger cell. Basically autophagy when you're in a fuel-deprived state encourages cells to get stronger by getting rid of the weaker ones.
All right, this sounds like a great thing, right? Guess what? Coffee has now been shown to boost autophagy, even when you're not fasting. Let's break this down a little bit. Autophagy requires what is called the inhibition of mammalian target of rapamycin, also known as mTOR. What mTOR is is a very anabolic pathway, and I don't want you to freak out when I say that we need to reduce mTOR. It does not mean that you're going to lose your muscle. Autophagy by definition is not anabolic, so anabolic means you're building muscle. It means you're growing, it means cells are growing. Literally by definition, autophagy is the breakdown and the recycling and the consolidation of cells. In no way, shape or form could that ever be construed as anabolic, so don't freak out. Anyway, I'm going to make some sense of all of this.
There is a study that was published in The Journal Cell Cycle and it took a look at two different groups. These two different groups were given either caffeinated coffee or decaffeinated coffee and they wanted to measure what would happen to autophagy after the consumption of either decaf or caffeinated coffee. Guess what? After one to four hours of consuming the coffee, decaf or not, there was a massive increase in autophagy. That means the level of autophagosomes had increased, producing more of a cell recycling effect, after any kind of coffee.
What they've found is that the polyphenols in either decaf or regular initiate the inhibition of mTOR. This inhibition of mTOR is what allows us to start autophagy, so we turn off the anabolic system temporarily so that the cells can recycle and do their job.

I'm in the same boat, I owe a huge thanks to Thomas, and I tell everyone who asks me how I lost 70lbs since Jan 1st. Good for you. My biggest surprise once I understood what to do, it really wasn't and isn't hard to do. I have 7 herniated discs in my neck & back tho still in pain, my overall wellbeing is so much better. I'm a faster for life!!!!!
25 in about 3 months and 8 more to go. Keep it up
Came here for a simple yes or no & left with a degree

😂😂😂😂
I laughed too hard lol
fasting, hiit workout, and black coffee is my morning, everyday, and I have only positive things to say about that trifecta.
i jus did hiit after drikning black coffee today. I was told to hiit only 3 times a week.
Same I came here to make sure I could have my coffee now I’m gonna go train
That’s what’s up dawg!
Does have to be straight black coffee? Or could you put creamer?
@@Zanderzone23 calories end the fast
All the intermittent fasters rejoiced
Damn right 😂
Lol i see you on every keto youtuber videos!
You are the Justin Y. of diet and exercise videos
yaaaay...
Hi Siim!!
Guys, by experimenting with intermittent fasting I have lost just over 55 pounds in the past 10 months. I've been lifting weights for a few years, but I was "fluffy". As of December 2017 I was 253 pounds. Now I'm 196, just as strong, but much more lean and MUCH happier. I didn't realize how much fat I actually needed to lose. Intermittent fasting has been working super well for me!
Plane Coffey do you lift weights in a fasted state ? Aprroximately how many hours after your last meal ? Please help .
@@jamessao5767 hey! So I work night shift so my daily work week schedule looks like this: I wake up around 4pm. Immediately I drink a tall (16oz) glass of cold water. Then I make some coffee if I feel that I need it. No cream or sugar of any kind, just black coffee. I typically end up at the gym around 5:15pm. I always start with a 10 minute warm up. Some days I walk on the treadmill on an incline other days I ride an exercise bike. Nothing crazy, just getting my heart rate up and warming up my joints. Then I lift weights. Typical body building split so I have a chest day, leg day, back day, and then I add in a day for circuits. My circuits include box jumps, 60 seconds on the jump rope, 12 push ups, 20 kettle bell swings, 12 goblet squats, then 2 minutes of rest. I do that as many times as possible! But after my workout, I shower and go to work. I get there around 8pm, then I have my first meal of the day. I then eat "lunch" with my coworkers around 1:30am. Then I get home and go to bed around 8:30am. So I go to bed a bit hungry. So I suppose I fast from 1:30am to 4pm. Not anything super scientific, but fasting and avoiding fast food is really key. It takes awhile to get used to lifting weights and working out while fasted so take it easy at first. It will take some time before you feel good while doing it. I hope that helps!
I can’t take you enough for your time and kindness . That was very detailed !! I will keep in mind all your advices .
@@andrewcoffey4694how are you doing now ?
Black coffee, keto and IF helped me to get down to 120 lbs from 151 lbs. I'm a 5' 5" 55-year-old female and in some of the best shape of my life. Thanks for pointing out the latest research into the effects of coffee.
How long did it take you? I'm 140 I want to go down to 120!
Can you share more info on your weight loss? I am inspired this is exactly my stats!
What tym do u drink the coffee
I dropped 40 lbs in 6 weeks with Intermittent Fasting by listening to Thomas DeLauer. The Apple Cider Vinegar drink and Coffee during my fasted states. Graduated from 16:8 to 20:4 on a daily basis now. I even started taking Before and After pics on September 9th. Have a second set already taken on October 9th. Once Im a year in I will try and get in touch with this awesome guy. I look up to him and I admire him. Thank you so much, Thomas. I'm definitely listening to you and I will try and get in touch with you next year to show you results. God bless you and your family.
Anthony Velez can you please update us on your journey? Thank you!
Great. Did you ever contact Thomas?
I'M #3 !!!!!!!! literally drinking coffee during my fast while watching. down 30lbs so far Thanks Thomas and team!
Hey congrats on 30 pounds down. Do you add any heavy cream to your coffee. I try not to eat until like 2 but I feel awful unless I drink coffee WITH a splash of regular cream.
@@Mz.M.2757 Thanks! I don't add anything to my coffee. Never have so I don't notice a difference
Malerie Wilson you don’t need the cream. That fatigue is your body tapping into reserves like body fat. You adding cream is inhibiting process of fat loss or maybe interrupting fast depending on cream drink the coffee black and just ride the lightning
Congrats, I personally don't do coffee at all. Dr. Rhonda Patrick spoke briefly about coffee on Joe Rogan's podcast and mentioned it is a Xenobiotic, not something produced naturally in your body, so it has to break it down. If your body has to break something down then it's not fully in the fasted state.
@@PromotingTheBeat
That is very interesting.
There is a small society of us out there haha. I dropped 40lbs since June. Couldn't be happier and his videos couldn't be more spot on. Biggest benefit i've seen is the mood change. Even better than the fat loss. Never felt more clear headed
Love this video, Thomas. I have dropped 20+ lbs since September by simply doing one-meal-a-day with black coffee in the morning. I eat anything I want at dinner, including dessert. Can't stop losing weight.
This was the answer I was looking for thank you!
@@Crypnotic88 me too since I just fasted for 20 hours and then had a plain burger and Ho-Hos. Haha
Do you put sugar in your coffee?? Like half tea spoon
Won't work if you over calorie your one sitting meals, so you must be under portion and calorie control?
SoloClone correct, I also cut my total calories per day.
Oh yes! I have given up so much this year to reach my target weight of 150 lbs. With Thomas' help, I've used keto, IMF, OMAD, and Autophagy to get there. Coffee bullet-proof and otherwise, has also been there all along to help. No way I am quitting (or cutting way back) coffee now. Sorry Dr. Berg, I'm sticking with Thomas on this one. Another espresso please!
I have lost almost 60 pounds... drink coffee every morning. Done intermittent fasting, OMAD, PROLONGUED FASTING AND time restricted eating. Only keto, though, for 8 months. My health is 100% better. Your videos and podcasts have helped tremendously.
Phew, we can remain friends...*sips*
Brian Kenny 😂❤️
😄
I was thinking the same thing like “dude don’t crush my dreams” 😂😂
😂🤣 I haven't even watched the dang video yet! Coz I was too nervous and skipped strait to the comment section to hurry up and find out what the Verdict was!!! Me and coffee have signed a life-long contract and cannot break-up!😁
lol I like it
Good! I’m drinking coffee while I fast. I’m so proud of myself 😊
I just stumbled upon this channel. I went from 240+ to 163 due to intermittent fasting, yoga, high intensity weigh training and cardio starting July 31, 2017.
This makes me so happy. My black coffee is what gets me through the morning until my first meal at noon. Thanks for the great videos! 🤗
myPursesuitOfHappiness me too.
At what time you take your black coffee in morning
@@SpiderMan-xl3gh all the time
its a drug and poison
@@harveyking5038 still better than all the snacks. 😂
Finally...! I'm a full blown coffee-addict, and for the past few months I've been trying to figure out whether or not autophagy gets interrupted by my black coffee fix. Thank you soooooo much for clarifying, because there are some notable figures out there that say black coffee interrupts autophagy when consumed... Now I can get my fix and not worry about a thing.
I don't get how people can add so much sugar and artificial sweeteners to their coffee...black coffee tastes amazing and is the way to go. If you don't like the taste of the coffee straight black, it probably means your consuming a low quality cup of joe!
it's called personal preference
if people want sweetened coffee, it's their choice
if you don't understand it, too bad
what about milk?
@@wojtekwilk3938 as far as I know unsweetened almond or coconut milk should be ok and won't break the fast
@@mojo5093 they can do whatever they want
A tablespoon or two might only cause the slightest of hiccups in the fast.
The way I used to add huge gobs of dairy or dairy substitute to my coffee hahaha I'd totally screw myself out of the benefits of any further fasting for hours.
THANKS so much for this! Dr Rhonda Patrick says the opposite, that black coffee breaks the fast and initiates the feeding window. When I heard that, it screwed everything up. I had started intermittent fasting, drinking a cup of coffee about 6: 30-7 am and then eating between noon and 8 pm, and it was pretty easy, my body adjusted quickly and I didn't really get hungry, and even though I was mainly fasting for autophagy, the weight started melting off rather effortlessly. Then I heard a video by Dr Rhonda Patrick in which she stated, regarding autophagy fasting, "The most common mistake that people make is that they think they can drink black coffee during the fasting period, a cup of coffee starts your eating window." Argggh!!!! That messed everything up! I tried postponing my coffee till noon but that didn't work, I need my coffee! I tried moving up my eating window till early morning, even though I am not hungry at that time, that didn't work either. She totally screwed up my regimen, that had been working wonderfully! You are my savior! I want you to be right, and not her! Whom should I really believe, though? I have a tiny doubt in my mind because she is so smart about other things. Please convince her to recant so that the doubts are gone!
I need him to reply to your message lol
@@talulasky4579 Dr. Berg is another good source here on RUclips. That can solidify your search. Just search intermittent fasting, coffee, Dr. BERG.
@@Wrathofkala thank you
I wish my car had autophagy, when out of gas 😅🙏
Black coffee is more important than food, it’s more important than drinking water
Lmao you either want it the easy way or the hard way 😂
It's more important than breathing.
I’m so fucking ded.😂😂
Is it more important than booty though???
Black coffee is more important than air😅
Love your vids ... Thanks, Thomas, for all the great info
The Crude Brother thanks so much for tuning in! Glad you enjoy the videos!!
Autophagy is basically cannibalism on cellular level, i love it so much xD
... heads to the coffee pot and tells self "black coffee is good, black coffee tastes good, black coffee is good, black coffee tastes good". Y'all wish me luck!
I've always been used to coffee with milk and lots of sugar or lots of cream. Very sweet so I understand you. I dropped all of that and went straight black coffee and it's a taste you get used to. It's not great in the beginning but just like the medicine the doctor gives you you psyche yourself into knowing the benefits is helping you achieve what you want. After awhile you get used to the taste. From a guy who put as much sugar in the that the spoon will stand up straight and tall, I can definitely tell you that it is possible to psyche yourself into loving black coffee. Im only trying to help. Wish you the best of luck!!
😂
you'll get used to it, I promise. after a while you won't like "normal" coffee anymore ;)
So... I am successfully drinking black coffee. It's getting easier with each mug. 😁
Kerri Black ah you're braver than me, I am still using a bit of coconut creamer and a tiny dash of monk fruit. But slowly I'll get there, I'm sure.
Im 56, in a 48 hr fast and drank a cup of coffee this morning and freaked out lol. This just calmed all my fears. Thank you for all you do and for sharing these amazing videos.
Here for same reason 😂
This is such good news! Thank you Thomas for sharing this valuable piece of information. Coffee is what made my transition to fasting tolerable. It really takes the edge off the hunger. I have lost a total of 100 lbs (going from 230 lbs to 130 lbs). The first 65 lbs of weight loss was done using a low carb diet, eating with the same meal frequency as your average person. Then I got stuck there, without any movement on the scale for about 8 months, and it was only by incorporating intermittent fasting that I was able to lose the remaining 35 lbs. Black coffee was crucial for me to get through that transition period, and, from my own experience, it never slowed down the additional weight loss benefits I got from fasting.
Wow, congrats to your great results so far! May I ask what your height is? 130 lb seems pretty low
Rock Heiland, Thanks. To answer your question, I am pretty short for a guy. I am only 5'6". So, based on the BMI, I am at a healthy weight, just on the lower half of the healthy range. I plan to start lifting weights, and put back some of that weight as muscle. I aimed for such a low weight target deliberately because I have a strong family history of diabetes, and so my reasoning went that the leaner I am, the further away I would be from being at a weight that would put me at risk for the disease.
Congrats!
How many days a week did you fast?
ahmad barakat, I initially started my intermittent fast, when breaking my weight loss plateau, by skipping breakfast 3 times a week - thus giving me a fasting window 18 hours and an eating window of 6 hours. I did that for about two months. I a lost about 15 lbs of 35 remaining pounds I had to lose. Then I finally switched to an OMAD (One Meal A Day) eating schedule every day, which allowed me to lose the remaining 20 lbs. OMAD is what I practice now, every day. This has allowed me to stay leaner now, as a 41 year old man, than when I was an athletic teenager.
That's very intresting, so i also wanna lead a healthy life and was wondering does cocaine break my fast too?
Enjutsu7 are you eating the cocaine?
If you're not kidding, get help or just find it in you to quit. Coming from someone who's been there..
Don't know about coke but Mary Jane will give ya the munchies.
I think coke is like speed and will probably suppress yer appetite.
It does not and even has an anabolic effect.
Ummmm.....leading a healthy life does not include cocaine, so your question is suspiciously a prank....
Awesome news coffee helps with Autophagy 👏🏻 When I saw the title of this video Inside of me was screaming “I’m not giving up my coffee” and now thanks to this confirmation I don’t need to 🙏🏻 Thanks to you Thomas and Dr Berg I have lost 70 lbs since I started doing Keto in April and have gone to OMAD and have been ZC for the last month, 👍🏻 doing astonishingly well and feel so energetic😍. I thought I couldn’t give up anymore, especially my coffee and now I don’t have to. Thanks sweetheart 💖 you have made my day😘
De berg is a fraud! He’s a chiropractor, not a diatician!
im 40 down in 3 months thanks to thomas
This is the only channel I watch for fasting and keto. Thanks for all of the valuable info!
Bleidenfrost n
Bleidenfrost so glad the info is useful for you! I appreciate you watching!!
1 cup of coffee, 1 teaspoon of heavy whipping cream, 1/4 teaspoon cacao powder, and 1/12 teaspoon cinnamon. Super healthy super yummy. Keto/fasting tip: always do less than the serving size so you never have to worry about calories or carbs.
I believe this will break a fast. Coffee should be black to stay in a fasted state. You should be able to add stevia
@@butterflyygyrlsworld5106 you can’t add ANYTHING!
Lol stevia? You know that will turn to sugars in your body right? 😂
I'm fasting for autophagy and hopefully to heal/help ease my cervical dystonia. I did a lot of research on if black coffee would break my fast in that way. Glad to see yet another resource that corroborates the science I've seen! *Aaand subscribed!*
Black Coffe is Without Sugar&Cream Fokes!.Its a Hard Transition But It Works As Nature Intended!.
I don’t know how I ended up on this page a few months ago but I’m so glad I did. I’ve been following your advice and fasting ever since. Thank you Thomas.
Sir, I have been a follower of yours for a year or so now. My biggest question is: Will intermittent fasting with (instant) coffee cause acid buildup in my digestive system/make me acidic? Keep up the great work so many of us are cheering for you.
Just three weeks of intermittent fasting and the results are already noticeable. This channel is awesome.
to summarize: coffee is a damn good thing
I love this kind of information, thank you for posting! I just finished a 38 hour fast with only water and black coffee, I am very fascinated with the topic of autophagy these days.. thanks for providing content on it!
Jennifer Sutton thanks for watching!!
I think this is the reason why you don't feel hungry when you drink coffee in the morning and not eat.
I've started black coffee regimen...
Plus calorie restriction,
Ive went down from 263 lbs,
To a new weigh in of 243lbs.
Some days I eat some junk,
For the most part im pretty consistent and get back on my calorie restrictions mode.
In addition to my exercise routine.
Thomas I forgot to tell you we ran out of coffee so that's our horse steroids in the coffee maker again. -love your roommate
A massive thank you to Thomas ,you're the man, you've helped me lose 70 pounds weight with intermittent fasting and sensible eating I really appreciate your help ,big shout out to you, God bless you
you just made my day brother! On day 2 of a 3 day water fast, been drinking a couple of cups of black coffee per day and thrilled to hear it's a trifecta of autophagy! Been struggling with sarcopenia, 5'11" 145lbs, have to put on 25lbs of muscle, now i can't wait to hit the end of the fast, eat eggs and meat (carnivore) and hit the weights with a whole new zeal. Thanks for the great vid. New sub.
One thing Thomas should have mentioned is that when he is referring to "Coffee" in this video, he means BLACK coffee! Adding a sweetener or fat or dairy of any kind to the coffee will take you out of atrophy and fasting which is fine. Just be aware that by adding a sweetener or fat to your coffee that you are now in your feasting window. Yippee for coffee!❤🌅🌵
Suzi SaintJames •autophagy. Atrophy means wasting cells of the body as example muscle loss
He has said stevia is fine though.
Pretty sure Erithrytol will not break a fast when added to your coffee. 0 calories and very low carbs which do not get broken down. Watch Dr.Berg. He explains it perfectly.
It's protein and carbs that knock you out of autophagy, not fat in moderation.
Use heavy whipping cream and MCT oil and you'll be fine.
I've been doing IF and drinking coffee for the benefit of fat loss. I also have a caffeine sensitivity issue. Thank you for clarifying that decaf works just as well as regular.
Great video! I have added intermittent fasting into my regimen, but I would like to see a video regarding how it impacts muscle recovery. Specifically- the science behind it, and how to optimize recovery times while fasting.
Before you go coffee frenzy consider something only few experts are willing to recognize: coffee (and really any stimulant) does increase “cell cycles”, however consider that you only have so many cell cycles in your lifetime. You might be getting a burst of feel good, but could be increasing overall aging. Just something to remember that the more linear and controlled your diet is the more longevity you induce.
Also doesn’t coffee have harsh acids for the stomach?
Its weird how so many people are promoting coffee. Its important to understand even though we see certain pathways activated, there are pathways being activated as well we dont understand. mTor is not even a fully understood pathway. There are still many things we dont fully know.
Love that you put about 40% of the transcription in the video. I read that and really felt required to keep watching. Awesome video. Awesome marketing.
Just had my fourth coffee. Thanks for the information.
you alive still?
@@xcmelo5110 ....and doing well ( lol)
@Rico Santiago +1
They say black coffee is bad on an empty stomach as it causes some damage to its wall or lining or whatever. so is it really ok or not to drink it while on intermittent fasting?
Godfrey Calapati i was also hoping for an aswer on that
Dr berg says that the first thing he drinks in the morning is coffee!!!
What about increase of cortisol when drinking coffee? High level of Cortisol increase inhibits weight loss.
Wrong, cortisol during fasting Is your best friend for fat loss 😉, because works sinergically with norepinefrine and adrenaline
Know what's good? Matcha with Almond milk. Boil the almond milk and add a spoon of matcha.
@@ultrxlight True, but you can have it with a meal or in your feeding window:)
Quick question I know coffee is good in a general sense for fasting and weight loss but I read sources that to much caffeine can break a fast you didn’t mention this statement at all in the video whether it’s true or not in your opinion so can to much caffeine break a fast and spike insulin?
Uno Goonie too much caffeine puts stress on your body and will stall a weightloss
An 8-12 Oz black coffee would have about as much caffeine as two shots of espresso and about 5 calories. One espresso shot is roughly 70 mg caffeine. I used to be a Barista. I wouldn’t eat during work and just have a little coffee, was in the best weight of my life.
It's nice to know that even decaf coffee is helpful during fasting. Gotta make one more now then! Thanks for info!
What kind of diet is this?
1. I can drink coffee
2. I can eat meat
3. I can eat fat
This is not a diet.
Keto is the best thing.
yes
Intermittent fast is everything. I love it and yes black coffee helps a lot and because of this I can go almost up to 20 hours without having a meal instead of 16. I've tried keto and that's not for me. I saw faster results but having to plan and think about what I COULD eat was annoying. I just drink water, black coffee, green tea. Every now and then I'll do apple cidar vinegar with lemon. I still eat whatever I want from time to time. I just watch the calories I intake and eat one of two meals a day (depends on my fasting break)... still lost weight and I BARELY workout.
How about green tea?
Will not break fast
Thomas also posted once that green tea with ginseng is pretty effective.
Macha green tea is great!
Brooke Smith is there a limit to how many cups I can have, since I tend to drink all day
Be careful not to drink too much liquid when you are fasting as it can stress the kidneys...
Great video, exactly what I was looking for and complex concepts very clearly explained. Thanks
Hey Thomas, terrific and informative video, thanks! Can you look into producing a video explaining the benefits of yerba mate and how it compares as a caffeine source to coffee.
50 lbs down 225-175!! All because of your videos
I make perfect eye contact with his biceps during the whole video
Good topic about fasting.
I like the fact Thomas made sure the definition of his fasting was not relating to religious fasting. Another fasting, not needed to be mentioned, was blood test fasting. Everybody knows, by now, that medical fasting refers to only water consumption for 12 consecutive hours before laboratory blood work (testing), if medical practitioner doesn't specifically mention length of time of water fasting.
I want to talk about religious fasting in this thread I created, though.
In my religion there is two types of dietary fasting:
1) no meats, grease, cheese and poultry eggs, but seafood is allowed;
2) The same as #1, but even stricter dietary fast that omits seafood and all oils.
At a young age I viewed the fasting as a religious rule. But, as I learned more about science, I understood the benefits of each for specific purposes, and then I self-prescribed certain fasting as required by my own self-disciplined health routine. I also understood the science behind some biblical passages better, rather than as a "do as I say" passage.
I have a topic idea for Thomas:
Hunger strike consequences, or extreme dieting effect on pancreas (if topic hasn't been addressed already).
A Serbian warlord, Vojislav Seselj, explained that his overweight issue was spurred by the result of political hunger strikes when he was younger that altered his pancreas' hormone level release points; ie. his insulin was released at a much lower serum glucose level than prior to political hunger strikes, which got worse from his judicial hunger strikes, while at The Hague for the illegal ICTY.
Thanks for the clarification Thomas. I know that the science behind what "breaks" a fast according to Dr. Rhonda Patrick makes this a bit confusing. Keep up the great content! Best, Sal
Sal Carvo Rhonda talks about cyclic eating vs intermittent fasting - cyclic eating is usually less time, 12-14 hrs fast, but much stricter with only allowing water. IF is usually much longer, up 24/48/72 hrs but is not as strict - allows coffee... it’s a bit more complex than that but in a nutshell that’s it.
Sal Carvo glad you enjoyed the info! Thanks for watching!!
Medium roast Costa Rica Peabody whole beans, grind then brew via the pour over method using a Chemex. You'll have the perfect cup of black coffee every time. No residue, zero bitterness
I was literally wondering about this topic this morning lol
Couple of questions:
1) Does any form of tea have the same effect, and if so, what magnitude compared to coffee?
2) Would adding stevia break the fast? I know anything with calories would, and suspect sugar alcohols and certain artificial sweeteners would, but what about stevia or, if it comes to that, monk fruit?
Thanks :) Guess it's a good thing I like plain green tea then, LOL. I'm about to start a new job and am only 2 weeks into the keto diet, and still get horrible tachycardia and weakness if I don't have electrolytes in the morning. Guess the plan is "green tea and one litre of salt water in the morning, BPC and lunch around 12 or 1, go home, eat around 6:30, that's it" then.
Would still like to hear from Mr. DeLauer if possible but this is a good data point.

I hope you could answer a quick question about the end of this video:
I’ve been doing light exercising during my fasting, then eating. are you saying it would be much more beneficial to break my fast and then exercise?
I quit drinking coffee for a week and I literally felt like I was under the influence of muscle relaxer but 3 days and powering through workouts with low energy I feel better and notice better muscle healing. I only drink Coffee occasionally but I will never go back too dependence.
There also studies that coffee can raise cortisol and lower T.
Are you talking about black coffee or sugar coffee with sweeteners?
Thank you for this info, not been drinking coffee because I heard that it would brake your fast because caffeine is metabolized by the liver. But now I will drink so much coffee I will not go for sleep for many days! woohoo!
i noticed that coffee increases my appetite so i have to abstain when i’m fasting
because it releases gastrin in the stomach so your tummy rumbles.
@@sunkat76 nah it doesnt make My stomach Rumble lol, it just increases My appetite much like spinach does because of the tryptophan
I don't understand you you guys fast and drink coffee, isn't fasting not eating and drinking and also refraining from doing bad things
@@vasko2627 water, coffee, tea, imo even soda is fine on a fast, but the ideal would be just to drink water with pink salt and some small cup of coffee/tea if you Want to
@@TheJimmyswe150 intermittent fasting is what you, I'm talking about fasting that actually holds back hunger, thirst and lust
I did water fasting for 7 days I’m 5’5 65kg now I’m 56kg. I feel more energetic and I decided to continue OMAD fasting. On my 27 days now and I feel more better.
Hey Thomas If you have time to get to this question I'd appreciate it ! question: when/how should i use caffeine to stimulate m-tor? meaning should i eat food PRE- workout to spike my insulin AFTER I have had coffee so that m-tor up-regulates just before I train? Or can I have my eating window say after the training session so while im training- M-tor remains lower like you said, then after i train-feed up and up-regulate it, would the benefits of M-tor on muscle building be comparable either way? love your videos especially on Boron! always well done
I'd say plan your biggest chunks of fasting around work out time.
For example of what I'm meaning.
My workouts are 8:45 pm until 11pm. When I get home I make a protein drink; no flavors, no sweeteners, etc. I sleep and wake up 9am. So that's 8 hours of fast right there. Then I eat at 2 or 3 or 4 or 5....depending....but I rather go to gym on an empty stomach. This way I can burn thru any sugars in me. Then I start all over again; gym 8:45 etc. Through the day though I'm taking in mineral and vitamin supplements I feel my body is in need of, and when I do eat a meal, I take in a big variety of good stuff.
I'm not Tom but I hope ya don't mind me answering. Ivwoukdnt go to gym whike digesting food. It takes away blood supply from muscle tissue, and yer body won't dig in there and start burning any fat for fuel. I go to gym on an empty tank.
thanks for the reply dude! my question still stands though cause im wondering about specifically m-tor. although everything you said is true except the blood supply thing,there is no less/lack of blood supply to the muscles while digesting is taking place- that is a myth. Layne Norton breaks that one down- he also talks about some circumstances where the body is burning a few LESS calories throughout the day if training is done fasted, so as much as you are tapping into those stores at the time. chances are your body is getting used to it and becoming more calorie "efficient" because of it over time- if you do it to the extreme and frequently Your body goes into a brief "efficient calorie mode" if you train hard enough and are fasted while doing it.
If my memory serves me correct i remember him discussing a study in which participants who have their first meal in the afternoon and who work/ workout prior to that- and measuring there base metabolic rate at the end of the day and they burned on average 500 calories less than they SHOULD have. i think he mentions it on a JR podcast too.
you should research how SUMO's eat its interesting.. obviously they are not resticting calories but these guys schedule is wake up and train 6 hours FASTED then first meal-nap-meal-nap-meal-bedtime lol I still need to learn more so much out there
@@haydenw6799 About blood use / going where needed.
Don't overlook the autonomic nervous system, especially the fight or flight & the resting (digesting) states. In fight or flight, which is related to stressing muscle tissues during intense workouts, blood flow to digestive organs is reduced. It's a survival response controlled by the autonomic nervous system. When being confronted by a tiger, your body is not interested in digesting food, but is built to increase heart rate and breathing, and getting blood into the muscles (fight or flight). So yes, working out on a belly full of food is not utilizing your autonomic nervous system and blood flow in an advantageous way.
What you said is true- "In fight or flight, which is related to stressing muscle tissues during intense workouts, blood flow to digestive organs is reduced. It's a survival response controlled by the autonomic nervous system"
this is what happens.. blood is directed AWAY from digestion and into the muscles. Many assume this is a vice-versa scenario but it is NOT
There has been studies go to layne norton's channel.. there is NO difference in blood flow to the muscles in fasted individuals that train vs full individuals that train- now this might differ if you eat food like 5-10 minutes before you train cause that might confuse the body, I GET THAT.. but you're body has no trouble prioritizing survival over digestion and redirecting that blood to the muscles for performance. meal or not. make sense?
Careful telling someone "don't overlook this" because you happened to do just that. Just present the info, we're all here to learn.
Right now my initial comment is still what I'm wondering lol- you mentioned nothing about m-tor stimulation / caffeine in your first reply and basically just told me your daily schedule
@@haydenw6799 Yes, for me I don't weight train after eating. I give it a minimum of 6 hours between eating and gym time. I see no benefits working out with a full stomach or intestine. Lions, after eating always rest for hours. They can't hunt well with full bellies. And yes a body doesn't get confused if it has to perform strenuously with a full stomach but it's best to not do that for several physiological reasons.
As far as m-tor, I have no concerns or questions regarding that.
Aside from diet and exercise, my interests are in chi and the chakra side for an overall health. There is an energy ( as well as gravity & structural impact) component that gets overlooked in Western diets and is rarely meshed with dieting procedures of all kinds.
As far as caffeine/ coffee; I never drink American coffee. It's like flavored water. I always drink home brewed Vietnamese coffee which is much much stronger but no bitterness, and they naturally have different organic flavors. American coffee as far as I'm concerned, is garbage.
I have lost 20lbs and feel 10 years younger because of this guy. I brew Blue Sail Coffee (black) everyday. Thanks for all the great videos! Glad I can keep brewing!
Fasting jacks up my nervous system all by itself. Coffee would be like pouring gas on a fire.
Everyone is different.
This is a fantastic video. I'm also an advocate of Intermittent Fasting and coffee or green tea during the fast. But after doing a bit more research just after watching your video, I realized that Autophagy can also help prevent Cancel and stop it's progression.
Big fan sir 😂
I tell y'all one thing this guy has the most upper shredded biceps known to human kind
If he did MMA, he could do a bicep strike.

I swear you are a mind reader!!!! Great video. Finally have a clear and concise answer to this question.
As long as I know that big coffee company's aren't the ones that financially funded this results of this research I'm good.
Decided to listen since I just sat down with coffee
I've been told several thousand times already from this channel that coffee is a good thing while fasting.
Yea but how MUCH IS TOO MUCH? A cup of coffee has 2 calories I think 10 is breaking a fast !? Waiting for a answer!!
Thomas and dr Rhonda Patricks needs to have a podcast discussion on this
Brother, when you fast in the holy month of Ramadan even water can break your fast. 🤣🤣🤣
But there are two different fasts dry and water and ramadan is dry while he talking about water fasting

@@wirehanga3966 ABSOLUTELY HARAM
As someone who loves coffee more than most, drink it every day anywhere between 20 and 40 ounces, only drink it black, and only buy local roasted gourmet coffee, coffee may not inhitbit weight loss benefits from Intermittent fasting.....BUT if you are doing extended fasts between 3 to 30 days, coffee will inhibit most of the beneficial reactions in the body, naturally found IF few years back from just listening to my body and living an endurance lifestyle, started extended fasting a year ago, totally different effects on the body and just about everything will break it, stick to water, stay strong, reap the rewards. Don’t hate me for this, nothing but love 🤙🏽
It will be more useful to compare those who consume black coffee to those who are fasting only with water. That is what interesting. I wanna be convinced that I can enjoy my coffee before a fasted workout but I am still not.
Coffee contains 10X more antioxidents than fruit.. True😊
What's missing in his explanation for you to be convinced?
ArchersBowHaveBroken - what other caffeine sources are there?
can you buy caffeine powder or drops or whatever?
After doing intermittent fasting for 2 years I have transition to the carnivore diet. I consume bone broth and two cups of coffee in the morning then I still keep my eating window from noon to 6. During that time I eat Mainely beef but also eggs and some chicken. After getting blood work done, all of my markers were good except my cholesterol. My LDL was high. Immediately the doctor wanted to put me on statins. Since I've been on the carnivore diet my intestines have never felt better, my skin is a lot better, and I feel fantastic. This is after being on the carnivore diet for 6 months. I was also able to get rid of the last 10 lbs which got my body fat percentage to 8.5%. What are your thoughts on cholesterol? Dr. Sean Baker, the leading proponent of a carnivore diet says there is correlation between high LDL and heart disease but not causation. I tend to think he's telling the truth because of the way that the diet makes me feel. What are your thoughts on this diet and can a single thing like high LDL cause heart disease?
Can you do a video on dropping those last few stubborn pounds ? I'm having a difficult time with the final push on a intermittent fasting/keto diet
Do a prolonged fast. 48-72 hours and you will see a difference
Yes, I agree. Cycling between two meals a day, one meal a day, and zero meals a day is the best way to keep your metabolism high. For example in one week, perhaps 4 days two meals a day, 2 days one meal per day, and zero food for one day. But the 7 day week is completely arbitrary. I keep it organic.
@@matthewrosenthal4673 I'll give it a try. I hope it doesn't hurt my stomach.
endurance training can lower the body's fat set point, if you arent already doing some sort of it, try HIT too. high protein diet to keep the most lean mass with a slight deficit in calories. dont restrict like crazy youll just make the body go into "famine mode" and become too calorie efficient.
also try turmeric with black pepper or a curcumin-piperine supp. turmeric lowers fasting glucose levels- does a ton more actually
maybe a bit of a chromium supplement too, apple cider vinegar..
also a short walk after a meal has shown to increase insulin sensitivity so after you eat do that so that more is shuttled into the muscles
Shayan Givehchian you should consider testing your cortisol levels. I work with folks who got that threshold on IF and a lot of the difficulty had to do with the state of your adrenal health.
Thanks for changing our lives, boss.
Nexius thank you so much for watching!!
What about matcha green tea?
Green tea is a feminine beverage ..🍵

Your definition of autophagy isn’t correct. It isn’t “healthy cells eating unhealthy cells” it is the breakdown of internal components of cells by the lysosome into components that can be recycled. The cell is not destroyed at all due to the process of autophagy.
Thomas can you make bodybuilding videos I'd be interested in your method of building muscle
No to be a dick and OBVIOUSLY he works out very hard and intelligently but... keep in mind VERY probably he is/was on steroids.
He doesn't seem to have the obvious signs of juicing.
Christian Basehart What are some obvious signs of juicing?
Most evident ones are hair loss and bad skin, along with protuding gut. Do a RUclips search on this, I highly doubt he juices.
@@Angel_EU34 he makes videos for a living explaining how to burn fat and build muscle. He himself has little fat yet major muscle. Why would you assume he's on roids? Why not infer that he has the muscle because the techniques he teaches are effective?
Ok. Fantastic, black coffee does help. What are your opinions of the Caffeine infused Water Enhancers like Mío? Are they helpful or harmful for getting into Keto or not?
Does anybody else want to see Thomas do a video with Cole Robinson?
That won't happen. Cole is too much of a dick.
Great video man. I’m fasting and been drinking coffee all day. I worked out yesterday and I’m sore and tired, but this kept me strong. Great info!
Hey there 👋, do you drink just black coffee with no cream added?
Man this is sad seeing comments saying COFFEE BREAKS A FAST or WHATS THE POINT OF FASTING. Chill guys, I thought we were meant to use IF as a tool to help our lifestyles not let it control us. Technically you all fast everyday just from sleeping all your doing is pushing it during the day. It’s sad to see people will go to the extreme. Example would be if someone was extremely ill but didn’t want to take medication cause they worried about there fast?!
Love your content Thomas !
Hey everybody how much autophgy is needed to really get rid of all the years of the sad diet and clean your cells up . Doing a lot of IF now with 24 hr fast thrown in every two weeks any info appreciated
I've never had it be a problem, blend whipping cream, MCT oil and some butter into it.
Bound for Adventure just simply dieting will clean cells up. I do OMAD (1 meal a day) nothing to do with science just makes life easier for me but I’ve had to practice to even do 24 hours no food. Do a 14/10 or 16/8 or simply skip breakfast.
Caffeine must be broken down and digested by your liver. Therefore, it DOES break your fast. Yeah, it does some fat loss through caloric burn and temp rise, etc.
But drinking coffee is the same thing is taking a bite of a fucking Snickers. Caffeine must be digested, and is therefore a food to your body. So you’re wrong, lol
Their*
I've heard that, in some cases, coffee triggers stress hormones like Cortisol. This will increase blood sugar in some people, thus breaking a fast because of it. I'm not really sure if drinking coffee would be sustainable for mantaining autophagy...
Good news: I have learned SO MUCH from you over the past year & 1/2 that I am now consistently in the best shape of my life with no health concerns AT ALL (and even relieved of some I didn't even know weren't "normal"). Thank you. Best of all, I easily maintain it.
Bad News: I latched on to you because of your authentic, non-commercial and logical approach to understanding how food works, plus the gut feeling I had about following you. The Green Detox ad I've seen lately gives me a knot in my stomach because there's no way a scientifically processed powder can trump natural food, and the fake display of your blender operational skills in the ad confirmed it - time to unsubscribe and move on. FYI "Bro". It was fun.
I felt the same way
Agree painful to watch why even compare to juicing just eat the food corrupted $$
