Coffee affects adrenal glands a lot. Adrenal glands release cortisol then. Natural response for that cortisol is releasing glucose by liver. This can kick you out from ketosis. This is why many people have insulinresistant despite quite healthy eating. Stress make adrenal glands release cortisol, in response liver produce glucose, what make pancreas release insuline, and in state of constant stress person have blood sugar problems, and end up with insulinresistant. Only about half cases of this health problem is because of wrong diet.
thomas because of your videos iv learn more about nutrition over the last 2 years then I've known my whole life and I've been working out and into fitness since I was 17 years old and I'm 41 now..thank you for all you do you helped me tremendously and I'm sure a lot of other people too!!! by the way I've been on a cut the last 8 weeks and lost 32 pounds using ketogenic diet along with intermittent fasting!! went from 222 I'm at 190 right now!!!
Hi Thomas. Great video. Does adding cream to your coffee change this scenario..and how. There is also an opposing school of thought that says - The diuretic affect of caffeine depletes you of precious vitamins and minerals as well as fluids leading to dehydration. These are critical during your fasting periods and any day for that matter. - The affect it has on spiking Cortisol inhibits your ability to burn fat and especially belly fat. Ingestion of caffeine in the morning is even worse as cortisol levels are particularly high in the am as a way to kick start us in the morning. - Tannins and polyphenols in both Tea And Coffee inhibit the absorption of Non-Heme Iron by up to 60 % !! While fasting it is critical to ensure that you eat foods rich in iron to ensure adequate oxygen transport. Coffee interrupts this vital step. - Coffee is acidic at a level around 4 to 4.5 thus causing irritating to the gut and intestinal tract leading to ulceration, poor digestion and inflammation. Since Snake Diet promotes a direction toward our bodies being in a more alkaline state for healing this is counter productive. - The effects of coffee on your hormones creates a roller-coaster affect on not only the thyroid but the adrenals as well affecting your mood, insomnia, anxiety, hot flashes, blood sugars and many other issues. - Obesity, Hypertension and Diabetes are commonly found together and adding coffee to the equation complicates everything further as this causes more issues of concern with the proper kidney function. Appreciate your feedback, thanks
My experience of coffee in ketosis (while intermittent fasting) is that it harshly depletes minerals, causes cramps at night, and adds fatigue by over taxing the adrenals.
True Infinite Life how much were you consuming?This seems like a toxicity issue. That's especially easy to do if your water consumption isn't very high.
Thank you for all the info. I have watched you and dr Berg for last 6 weeks and followed yalls advice. I am 6’1” and six weeks ago I was 208 as of today I am 183. Ketosis and fasting works. Thanks again
I quit smoking a few years ago and gained a ton of weight which I've never been able to loss.......hoping keto is the key......I've tried everything else ........also I am a big hot tea drinker.....usually 3 to 4 12oz cups a day using Lipton tea and only 2 teaspoons of heavy whipping cream in each cup.
Thankyou. Premium information. Very useful and easy to understand! Now i understand why my ketones AND glucose rise when i drink coffee and 4 hours later ketones keep higher and glucose normalizes.
Great video as always and thanks for the reassurance on coffee. Its such a pleasure to see your confidence growing as you maintain your passion and humility. You and Dr. Berg are always my go to
Have to watch my coffee intake as it upsets my sleep at night. But this is always good to know that the two cups that I do have have some benefit on my keto and IF
for me caffeine+keto =energy overload good for physical work/exercise but very hard to calm down afterwards, also makes me think and talk faster, wierdly to calm down i have to eat more fat, if i eat sugar i get a hell of a headache and energy crash.
I love coffee, but have given it up for fasting until 4pm. Dr. Rhonda Patrick insists that even black coffee will break my fast as the liver starts going to work to metabolize it. I just want someone to say I am still fasting if I only drink water and coffee. Or even better, water and BPC!
I have been taking bulletproof Yerba Mate every morning, which has almost the same amount of caffeine as coffee, but with a better sustained release throughout the day. It tastes great with coconut oil and grass-fed butter too!
QUESTION (SHOW IDEA): I was recently been made aware, by a coworker helping give a presentation, how much breathing exercises may help me when I start getting anxious/excited while talking about certain things or to certain people. After the comment, I thought back to many times when I would unconditionally stop breathing only for it to affect conversation, exercise, or once while I was studying and I started gasping for air. This would happen very infrequently but my coworkers comment made me think about the hormones released from the lungs in times of stress and their relation to dieting. I have a slow metabolism also so I wonder if their is a chance breathing is related. Learning some neat tips and tricks.
Coffe stimulates you, helps you lose fat (it doesn't make you thin, it helps get in shape), it represses hunger. But it is addictive, can cause Cancer, can cause nerve problems, sleep problems, and make you age faster, specially if you drink too much.
Shapoor II This is contraversal. The skinny. A study suggested it may cause gastric cancer. A follow up study found it did not cause gastric cancer. Its probably best to not over indulge in coffee just in case. Matter of fact its usually a good rule of thumb not to over do anything. There are boat loads of other studies that suggest coffee may give great health benefits. So having a cup or 2 a day might keep many problems away. "do what ever the fuck you wanna do!" hodge twins

Thanks for the video. I was wondering about this issue because someone on RUclips drank black coffee with no sugar and the sugar levels in their blood had increased 15% an hour later
Could you please do a video on the pros vs. cons of breaking fast in the morning with bulletproof coffee (or at least coffee and MCT oil) before a workout? Thank you!
You and your wife are amazing! Soo much information!! I'm learning so much! I have been on ketos diet for 3 weeks now and lost 11 pounds.. And thanks to you guys! Ps your baby is adorable!!
Daily consumption of caffine stresses out the body from adrenaline produced by the adrenals, your body cannot recover as fast as it normally would because it is in a state of fight or flight instead of rest and recovery. Health is what you want, not just losing weight . Also coffee is acidic it takes your body out of being alkaline which makes your body susceptible to disease/parasites, dehydrates you, and slows all your processes down in general. You are a water system, keep your ph high and electrolytes in check. Hope this gave you insight and something to consider. Peace, stay motivated I love you ;)
I am a 63-year-old stunt man with lots of injuries... I am two months into keto and would love to see a video on how to incorporate carb loading before a super strenuous event such as motocross racing or mountain bike racing while in ketosis.
Thank you for all your videos. I just wonder who is producing your videos... it's much nicer when you are talking directly into the camera :) It feels much more personal.
It would be awesome, if you could do a video about the benefits/issues from zero sugar energy drinks (Monster Ultra Zero, Rockstar sugar free) that are sweetend with sugar alcohols. I've been curious of the impact on Ketosis, since I have drank them before and never noticed any issues. But, I always wondered if it did anything behind the scenes!
I am a type 1 diabetic and ive been in ketosis for about 15months. I notice every time i have a regular cup of coffee at regular strength i need about 3 units of insulin to counter the release of sugar into my bloodstream. Not a lot but i do need a little. So not hyperthetical Thomas it actually is a thing! just a side note my ketones are between 1 and 5 every day on my ketone blood test strips. I've never felt better since my change to keto lifestyle!!!
I love coffee. I have pcod. Have lost 14 kgs on keto in last 6 months with bare minimum exercise, tried yoga which led to sciatica n bed rest for a month. Is it harder to lose weight, regardless which diet when you have pcod? My amh is low 1.82, doctors are advising ivf, Iam just 31 years old. Please do an in depth video on pcod, natural conceiving with keto.
Awesome info. I came back to watch it again! I have been doing keto for 4 months and BPC has helped a lot! I get great energy, i'm satiated for several hours and my ketone levels are great. I haven't had any blood glucose spikes after drinking coffee. I've tested that with my keto mojo. All good here! (= Thanks for the information!
Great vid,,,,luv my Jet black double coffee,,,,,,nowadays without the accompanying sugar,,which I gave up 34 weeks ago,,,,,,,,,,, Keto is King,,waterfast weekend for me in snowy England,,,have a great weekend,
I don’t understand half the words that you use but by watching your videos and taking your knowledge I’ve lost a crap load of weight. Almost 60lb keep it up!!!
Is it true, that caffeine is accumulating in our body, because we do not have glucose reserves necessary to excrete the stuff? Can this alkaloid cause a wrong digesting?
Ahhhh....listening, listening.....NO! Please tell me I don't have to give up my unsweet green tea!!!! Whew!! So glad I waited it out. Thank you so much for the detailed info!
I am new to ketosis and intermittent fasting to lose weight and get healthy I am loving all the videos that you post they have helped me so much i have one question on if deodorants and lotions or brushing your teeth can kick you out of ketosis or fasting
There are no studies that really talk about caffeine in a keto diet yet, yes. Dr. Berg did a little experiment about that and the conclusion was pretty much the same like you said. So glad I won't have to dump coffee from my diet.
I put cinnamon in my coffee because I have heard that caffeine can cause a spike in insulin. I like the flavor anyway, but I'm wondering if it keeps my blood sugar more stable?
You're the best. Your channel motivates me to stay in ketosis even when I want to go crazy on some carbs. And I love coffee. And how the heck do I get biceps like that!!
Please make an in-depth video on garlic/allium. I have been seeing mixed theories about it being a toxin/poison and should be avoided. I know you have a collaboration with Dr. Berg and it would be nice to get both of your thoughts on this. Thanks for everything you do I honestly appreciate it.
Wow very informative. I will continue drinking my cold brew coffee before my workout! That explains why I have symptoms of ketosis eventhough I am not on a keto diet!!!
BOOM!! That's what I'm talking about!! Morning Black Coffee w/L-Carnitine w/2CLA tabs puts my body into FAT BURNING MODE. Morning Fasted Cardio works wonders for me & has helped me lose a tone of FAT along with IF & Keto!! Thanks for the vids & all the amazing info you share!!
hey guess what, 6 million dollar man, i didn't know what 2CLA meant either so you know what i did, i googled it and guess what, now i know admittedly it was tricky search: CLA supplement 2 is the amount he takes
Caffeine itself however is better to take mid-day if you use a monophasic sleep cycle, that way it doesn't interfere with your natural wakefulness hormones that you receive naturally in the morning if you're not already caffeine dependent and it'll give you an alertness boost mid-way through the day to increase your over-all productivity but wear-off at night when you should be going to bed. Though you'd still have the benefits of the effect on ketosis during your sleep especially if your goal is just weight loss. Though I have to mention that your body does go into a lower energy state during sleep so it may not burn as much, though I'd still wager it's an increased benefit.
Very good video Thomas. Easy to understand and very straightfoward when it comes to follow the information. Caffeine before work out will give you the best result....Thanks.
Thanks Thomas...i really enjoy the deep insight into how adding certsin things like caffeine to ones diet can impact the ketosis in a bad and good way. Ive got a question for you. In one of your previous video's you spoke about the importance of gut healthy. I 100% agree...because in genral we dont take care of our gut as well as we should. Plus everything from digesting to burning fats to absorbing nutrients...all are affected by the gut. So my question...ive discovered Iaso tea...and its really like a miracle tea that helps the gut get rid of those toxins, bad bacteria and slug that builds up over time. I want to know if i can still have this tea...while on a ketosis diet and intermittent fasting. Hope to hear from you soon. Thanks Thomas🌟
FitB4I GetOld Sorry, I should've said bulletproof coffee with MCT oil suppresses my appetite. It's probably more the MCT oil, but technically this is breaking the fast.
Since I am on keto I've been drinking coffee without milk or cream or coconut oil in it and what I noticed is that my heart starts racing after a few sips. I've never experienced this before. Is this also due to releasing glycogen in the bloodstream?
Just consume 7 to 10 grams himalaya salt a day ... i had the same problem with racing heart beats yout body needs salt! You drink caffeine ? Drink more salt

Hi Thomas, I'd like to see you do an episode on alternative sources of caffeine. Personally, coffee has a bit of an aggressive effect on me and I need to get it from other sources such as matcha, guarana, cocoa nibs, cola nut, yerba mate, green/black tea, etc. I'd be interested to know how they perform vs coffee with regard to ketosis. Also consider the anti-oxidants, (vitamins?) present in the various different forms of caffeinated beverages.
Ok so I’m a little confused... is it ok to have “bulletproof coffee” (butter and oil) in the morning while fasting or should I just be drinking strait black coffee before breaking my fast?
Hi, would like to see a video on what your eating on a high calorie keto diet (weight gain/bodybuilding). There only so many scoops of coconut oil/MTC/and globs of butter I can stand in a day. If 60-75% of my diet is supposed to be fat, what can I eat to get there?
First, thank you for all the time and effort you put into this. I love your channel and you explain things so it is easy to understand. I have read up on and viewed many Keto videos on here and again, thank you for yours! Very informative... I started my Keto lifestyle change today, and was wondering about if I should or shouldn't drink coffee / and of course you had a video about it. I just have to learn to skip the milk in my coffee.
What about the insulin produced in the body because of the carbs that were released due to the coffee. Doesn't this insulin block growth hormone if you are in a fasted state.
I see none of these are addressed. I had just learnt the same, it raises cortisol and so can not be good with the ups and downs so particularly for a reset I've been taught to be caffeine free initially. I'm sure once you're in a stable weight and healthy body situation a coffee in the morning or mid morning isn't going to be a bad thing.
In one of the videos you mentioned that ketosis doesn't go well with stress because ketosis is a stress itself (for the body). So if stress is bad for someone on ketogenic diet why coffee is recomended? Coffee creates a stress in the body, it puts one in a flight or fight mode by stimulating the stress hormones. It lacks consistency to me.
Here's an challenging idea: Reverse engineer a meal plan for a fasting window which will achieve daily vitamin and mineral targets while remaining within a normal calorie range for an average person, and without supplements.
So what I took from this video is: You don't necessarily "NEED" to be on a ketogenic diet if you are an avid consumer of caffeine. Coffee hounds like me, (and those who have a high tolerance for caffeine) will do just fine with fat lipolysis by consuming their "usual/normal amounts" of daily consumption of caffeine. Especially if you are fasting. I think that the "glycogen dump" will actually work in your favor, and perhaps spare your lean tissue from being converted into glycogen. Personally, I think carb cycling is better than a ketogenic diet, because cutting carbs out totally is cutting out an important macro out of your diet......HAVING SAID THAT....If the ketogenic diet is something that you may want to try then just be sure to replace most if not all your carbs with fat and if you workout while on a ketogenic diet, it is vital to get enough protein in the process...I would say a 50%protein 40-45%fats and 5-10% carbs for the person that is active and wants to constantly be in ketosis. If you want you could flip the percentages for fats and proteins, but if you like to "body build" then definitely stick with the higher amounts of protein.....As for me, I like papas too much, so I will continue to drink my caffeine, fast, and workout like I've been doing.
I went from a high carb diet to a Keto diet over the past 3 months. I started out with a Triglyceride level of around 640 and it increased to a level over 2000 2 months after my body went into ketosis. I measured it again 3 weeks after the 2000+ reading, and it is still over 1500. My total cholesterol has stayed about the same at around 380. I eat no breads, milk, sugar or artificial sweeteners. I backed off of my protein too to get it closer to 30% of my calories. I am exercising more now too. The one thing I have done the mornings of my fasts for my last 2 blood tests is drink about 3 cups of black coffee which I was told is ok for the fast. I am also actually losing about 0.4 lb/day of fat weight too. Question I have is if the high Triglyceride levels are from the weight loss, the caffeine or both?
Thomas could u do a video on how to fast a healthy way for younger people I have been over weight and about to turn 17 and I'm tired of it I wanna lose my weight and I'm trying the 16 hr fast and 8hr fast and I'm not sure what to eat and how much to be healthy since my body is still growing
Just watched two of your videos and I love them. I am having problems each time I try to do Keto getting into the place where you feel good and have energy. I tried for two weeks then just quite. Do you have a video that talks about macro and keeping track of that or don’t you do it. I just looked for foods that were low carb and no sugar. Maybe I am doing it wrong. I didn’t feel hungry but just never had energy.
What about caffeine in IF? usually after 12+ hours of fasting the glycogen in the muscles are already used. Then i assume the caffeine will not spike insulin?
Ruins the fast, regardless. He never responds to this fact. Brought it up many times, even in e-mail, to the company. It never gets mentioned. My comment at the top of the thread will answer your question.
He once said in a video that glycogen in the muscles never drain even when IF, just the glycogen in the liver (when that happens you have higher level of ketones even when your muscles store glycogen) so I think yes it will spike insulin
I wonder if this includes other forms of caffeine such as in chocolate? I drink a 12 oz cup of half-caff every other day and a 12 oz cup (or two) of dandelion/chicory/carob in the interim, so I'm not concerned so much with coffee caffeine. However, I do consume lots of chocolate.
hey Thomas, amazing videos as always! Could you maybe do a video relating HIIT, aerobic/anaerobic type of training and cortisol/stress? I think I'm stressing my body a bit too much on ketosis and HIIT Thanks!!
Interesting! A couple of years ago, as a coffee drinker, I lost weight really fast on keto... 91lbs in 7 months. Eventually fell off the wagon and regained some. Started keto again 6 weeks ago after giving up all caffeine 3 months earlier, and the weight was coming off really slow. Figured the only difference was this time I was not having caffeine, so I have reintroduced it in the hope that my weight loss speeds up.
Hi. I was wondering do you think the type of cookware we use is important to our nutrition & health also? I noticed you have cooking on a cast iron pans. I am writing a paper on the connection between cookware and nutrition. I wanted to know opinion on this & perhaps it could be a cool video blog. Thanks.
I feel like the only caffeine problem is for intermittent fasters. Being a xenobiotic, even black coffee, technically breaks the fast, because all xenobiotics have to be metabolized.
I’ve been off caffeine for two days and my ketone levels are double what they normally are. This goes against what most of the research says. This is just after one meter reading, so I’m going to measure a few more times to see if it’s a fluke or not.
brush them, but i never use toothpaste.. just warm water and brush it, scrap the tongue. thats it.. but i do OMAD and eat at 7-8Pm at home, so i can brush using toothpaste right after it.. morning i just brush like I've said infront.
When you brush your teeth, you always consume a small amount of toothpaste (specially if you use more than the pea size amount). This can upset your stomach, or stimulate your stomach so you get hungry. Anything you don't eat (or take, like medications), don't exercise or don't stress has no effect in your fasting.
He didn't go over if you are type 2 when I excersise I get a 20 up in my blood sugar. Even days I do HIIT. That rebound may not be as insignificant in someone being type 2.

I think after workout it isn't bad too, since you need to refill the glycogen storage so eitherway more sugar /glycogen goes to the muscles.

So not hyperthetical Thomas it actually is a thing! just a side note my ketones are between 1 and 5 every day on my ketone blood test strips.
I've never felt better since my change to keto lifestyle!!!
I love coffee. I have pcod. Have lost 14 kgs on keto in last 6 months with bare minimum exercise, tried yoga which led to sciatica n bed rest for a month. Is it harder to lose weight, regardless which diet when you have pcod? My amh is low 1.82, doctors are advising ivf, Iam just 31 years old. Please do an in depth video on pcod, natural conceiving with keto.
Awesome info. I came back to watch it again! I have been doing keto for 4 months and BPC has helped a lot! I get great energy, i'm satiated for several hours and my ketone levels are great. I haven't had any blood glucose spikes after drinking coffee. I've tested that with my keto mojo. All good here! (= Thanks for the information!
Thanks Thomas. I was just thinking about this today. Glad to have your take on it.
I LOVE how you explain facts in a scientific way! Very easy to understand & is VERY appreciated!
Great vid,,,,luv my Jet black double coffee,,,,,,nowadays without the accompanying sugar,,which I gave up 34 weeks ago,,,,,,,,,,, Keto is King,,waterfast weekend for me in snowy England,,,have a great weekend,
I don’t understand half the words that you use but by watching your videos and taking your knowledge I’ve lost a crap load of weight. Almost 60lb keep it up!!!
Is it true, that caffeine is accumulating in our body, because we do not have glucose reserves necessary to excrete the stuff? Can this alkaloid cause a wrong digesting?
Your video quality and topics are amazing. Thank you for this great information.
Dan Mikutis glad you enjoy the videos! Thank you for tuning in!
Ahhhh....listening, listening.....NO! Please tell me I don't have to give up my unsweet green tea!!!! Whew!! So glad I waited it out. Thank you so much for the detailed info!
I am new to ketosis and intermittent fasting to lose weight and get healthy I am loving all the videos that you post they have helped me so much i have one question on if deodorants and lotions or brushing your teeth can kick you out of ketosis or fasting
Hi Thomas love your videos are pre work outs breaking fast thanks
There are no studies that really talk about caffeine in a keto diet yet, yes. Dr. Berg did a little experiment about that and the conclusion was pretty much the same like you said. So glad I won't have to dump coffee from my diet.
Amen. I love my coffee/caffeine as well.
I put cinnamon in my coffee because I have heard that caffeine can cause a spike in insulin. I like the flavor anyway, but I'm wondering if it keeps my blood sugar more stable?
It would be interesting to see a study with a split on insulin resistance from low to high with the caffeine splits.
You're the best. Your channel motivates me to stay in ketosis even when I want to go crazy on some carbs. And I love coffee. And how the heck do I get biceps like that!!
Squats
Can you please do a video on consuming liquid Apple cider vinegar vs. consuming ACV capsules?
Please make an in-depth video on garlic/allium. I have been seeing mixed theories about it being a toxin/poison and should be avoided. I know you have a collaboration with Dr. Berg and it would be nice to get both of your thoughts on this. Thanks for everything you do I honestly appreciate it.
Love ketosis and caffeine, Thomas. Thanks for the details!
Flowing Fluency thank you for watching!!
Wow very informative. I will continue drinking my cold brew coffee before my workout! That explains why I have symptoms of ketosis eventhough I am not on a keto diet!!!
BOOM!! That's what I'm talking about!! Morning Black Coffee w/L-Carnitine w/2CLA tabs puts my body into FAT BURNING MODE. Morning Fasted Cardio works wonders for me & has helped me lose a tone of FAT along with IF & Keto!! Thanks for the vids & all the amazing info you share!!
what is 2CLA?
Please tell me: How many mornings a week of cardio do you do? And the duration?
hey guess what, 6 million dollar man, i didn't know what 2CLA meant either
so you know what i did, i googled it
and guess what, now i know
admittedly it was tricky
search: CLA supplement
2 is the amount he takes
Glenda Last - do as many as you like, dear, for as long as you like
it's not some immutable law of physics
thanks mojo, you're a real help. now i know he was talking about Conjugated linoleic acid _supplements_
Caffeine itself however is better to take mid-day if you use a monophasic sleep cycle, that way it doesn't interfere with your natural wakefulness hormones that you receive naturally in the morning if you're not already caffeine dependent and it'll give you an alertness boost mid-way through the day to increase your over-all productivity but wear-off at night when you should be going to bed. Though you'd still have the benefits of the effect on ketosis during your sleep especially if your goal is just weight loss.
Though I have to mention that your body does go into a lower energy state during sleep so it may not burn as much, though I'd still wager it's an increased benefit.
Very good video Thomas. Easy to understand and very straightfoward when it comes to follow the information. Caffeine before work out will give you the best result....Thanks.
My IF...then black coffee for breakfast ...carries on!!😄
( Not that I would change had he said caffeine is bad )...noooooo!!
Exciting!! Great video
Thanks Thomas...i really enjoy the deep insight into how adding certsin things like caffeine to ones diet can impact the ketosis in a bad and good way. Ive got a question for you. In one of your previous video's you spoke about the importance of gut healthy. I 100% agree...because in genral we dont take care of our gut as well as we should. Plus everything from digesting to burning fats to absorbing nutrients...all are affected by the gut. So my question...ive discovered Iaso tea...and its really like a miracle tea that helps the gut get rid of those toxins, bad bacteria and slug that builds up over time. I want to know if i can still have this tea...while on a ketosis diet and intermittent fasting.
Hope to hear from you soon.
Thanks Thomas🌟
Caffeine also suppresses the appetite and makes intermittent fasting easy.
No it does not. I intermittent fast with black coffee and my stomach growls all the way through it.
FitB4I GetOld Sorry, I should've said bulletproof coffee with MCT oil suppresses my appetite. It's probably more the MCT oil, but technically this is breaking the fast.
Just coffee fills me up. Everyone is different.
bulletproof coffee with MCT oil will break your fast lmao
@@thevomit5851 yeah that was pointed out
Thank you for the much needed info
Since I am on keto I've been drinking coffee without milk or cream or coconut oil in it and what I noticed is that my heart starts racing after a few sips. I've never experienced this before. Is this also due to releasing glycogen in the bloodstream?
I experienced the same. Pounding feeling.. As if your h ear is skipping beats
Just consume 7 to 10 grams himalaya salt a day ... i had the same problem with racing heart beats yout body needs salt! You drink caffeine ? Drink more salt
What are your thoughts on guarana? Guarana supposedly releases a steadier stream of caffeine into the system than coffee.
Will caffeine stop the production of growth hormone while fasted?
*1 [ How much caffeine is good/ to much? ]*
*2 [ What your calories throughout the day looks like? ]*
*3 [ How different forms of creatine works in the body & which are good? ]*
*4 [ L-tirosine / L-Theanine - some brain enhancing things you would recomand? ]*
peace
Videos on point like always... N love that kitchen
Hi Thomas, I'd like to see you do an episode on alternative sources of caffeine. Personally, coffee has a bit of an aggressive effect on me and I need to get it from other sources such as matcha, guarana, cocoa nibs, cola nut, yerba mate, green/black tea, etc. I'd be interested to know how they perform vs coffee with regard to ketosis. Also consider the anti-oxidants, (vitamins?) present in the various different forms of caffeinated beverages.
Ok so I’m a little confused... is it ok to have “bulletproof coffee” (butter and oil) in the morning while fasting or should I just be drinking strait black coffee before breaking my fast?
Bulletproof coffee is for people doing Keto. If you're fasting, bulletproof coffee will break your fast because you need to digest the butter.
Thanks Tomas. Very interesting.
Hi, would like to see a video on what your eating on a high calorie keto diet (weight gain/bodybuilding). There only so many scoops of coconut oil/MTC/and globs of butter I can stand in a day. If 60-75% of my diet is supposed to be fat, what can I eat to get there?
First, thank you for all the time and effort you put into this. I love your channel and you explain things so it is easy to understand. I have read up on and viewed many Keto videos on here and again, thank you for yours! Very informative... I started my Keto lifestyle change today, and was wondering about if I should or shouldn't drink coffee / and of course you had a video about it.
I just have to learn to skip the milk in my coffee.
Quallity videos and explanations!
Valerius Neagu thanks for tuning in!
What about the insulin produced in the body because of the carbs that were released due to the coffee. Doesn't this insulin block growth hormone if you are in a fasted state.
I see none of these are addressed. I had just learnt the same, it raises cortisol and so can not be good with the ups and downs so particularly for a reset I've been taught to be caffeine free initially. I'm sure once you're in a stable weight and healthy body situation a coffee in the morning or mid morning isn't going to be a bad thing.
In one of the videos you mentioned that ketosis doesn't go well with stress because ketosis is a stress itself (for the body). So if stress is bad for someone on ketogenic diet why coffee is recomended? Coffee creates a stress in the body, it puts one in a flight or fight mode by stimulating the stress hormones. It lacks consistency to me.
What about theacrine? Does it also mobilize fatty acids?
Does it break the fast or it goes along with coffee?
I'd be careful tho. Excess glucose in the bloodstream isn't that great when you also have fats.
Here's an challenging idea: Reverse engineer a meal plan for a fasting window which will achieve daily vitamin and mineral targets while remaining within a normal calorie range for an average person, and without supplements.
So what I took from this video is: You don't necessarily "NEED" to be on a ketogenic diet if you are an avid consumer of caffeine. Coffee hounds like me, (and those who have a high tolerance for caffeine) will do just fine with fat lipolysis by consuming their "usual/normal amounts" of daily consumption of caffeine. Especially if you are fasting. I think that the "glycogen dump" will actually work in your favor, and perhaps spare your lean tissue from being converted into glycogen. Personally, I think carb cycling is better than a ketogenic diet, because cutting carbs out totally is cutting out an important macro out of your diet......HAVING SAID THAT....If the ketogenic diet is something that you may want to try then just be sure to replace most if not all your carbs with fat and if you workout while on a ketogenic diet, it is vital to get enough protein in the process...I would say a 50%protein 40-45%fats and 5-10% carbs for the person that is active and wants to constantly be in ketosis. If you want you could flip the percentages for fats and proteins, but if you like to "body build" then definitely stick with the higher amounts of protein.....As for me, I like papas too much, so I will continue to drink my caffeine, fast, and workout like I've been doing.
I went from a high carb diet to a Keto diet over the past 3 months. I started out with a Triglyceride level of around 640 and it increased to a level over 2000 2 months after my body went into ketosis. I measured it again 3 weeks after the 2000+ reading, and it is still over 1500. My total cholesterol has stayed about the same at around 380. I eat no breads, milk, sugar or artificial sweeteners. I backed off of my protein too to get it closer to 30% of my calories. I am exercising more now too. The one thing I have done the mornings of my fasts for my last 2 blood tests is drink about 3 cups of black coffee which I was told is ok for the fast. I am also actually losing about 0.4 lb/day of fat weight too. Question I have is if the high Triglyceride levels are from the weight loss, the caffeine or both?
Brad S. Totally normal it's from the weight loss. Triglycerides will get progressively lower as time passes ;-)~
Thanks a lot
Thanks for your vídeos! A vídeo about alkaline water would be interesting :-)
Thomas could u do a video on how to fast a healthy way for younger people I have been over weight and about to turn 17 and I'm tired of it I wanna lose my weight and I'm trying the 16 hr fast and 8hr fast and I'm not sure what to eat and how much to be healthy since my body is still growing
Is this true of green tea/matcha tea?
I've heard that mixing 1/4 tsp of basking soda in a cup of black coffee reduces some of the adverse affects. Do your own research before trying.
Just watched two of your videos and I love them. I am having problems each time I try to do Keto getting into the place where you feel good and have energy. I tried for two weeks then just quite. Do you have a video that talks about macro and keeping track of that or don’t you do it. I just looked for foods that were low carb and no sugar. Maybe I am doing it wrong. I didn’t feel hungry but just never had energy.
What about caffeine in IF? usually after 12+ hours of fasting the glycogen in the muscles are already used. Then i assume the caffeine will not spike insulin?
shaychor Great question!
Ruins the fast, regardless. He never responds to this fact. Brought it up many times, even in e-mail, to the company. It never gets mentioned.
My comment at the top of the thread will answer your question.
He once said in a video that glycogen in the muscles never drain even when IF, just the glycogen in the liver (when that happens you have higher level of ketones even when your muscles store glycogen) so I think yes it will spike insulin
Thomas, can you do a video on caffeine and its effects on pineal gland calcification plz?
I wonder if this includes other forms of caffeine such as in chocolate? I drink a 12 oz cup of half-caff every other day and a 12 oz cup (or two) of dandelion/chicory/carob in the interim, so I'm not concerned so much with coffee caffeine. However, I do consume lots of chocolate.
hey Thomas, amazing videos as always!
Could you maybe do a video relating HIIT, aerobic/anaerobic type of training and cortisol/stress?
I think I'm stressing my body a bit too much on ketosis and HIIT
Thanks!!
Okay, but what about the rest of us who don't take our coffee black? Is coffee with thickened cream (what you Americans call whipping cream) as good?
I can watch your videos all day
MMA thanks for tuning in!
Can you make a video explaining how zero calorie energy drinks and diet soda affect the body on a ketogenic diet? Will it kick us off of ketosis?
Excelent information. Tnx man.
Could you please talk then about the caffeine in chocolate and if it does the same thing to mobilize fats?
Awesome sauce!
Interesting! A couple of years ago, as a coffee drinker, I lost weight really fast on keto... 91lbs in 7 months. Eventually fell off the wagon and regained some. Started keto again 6 weeks ago after giving up all caffeine 3 months earlier, and the weight was coming off really slow. Figured the only difference was this time I was not having caffeine, so I have reintroduced it in the hope that my weight loss speeds up.
Did the caffeine help?
Hi. I was wondering do you think the type of cookware we use is important to our nutrition & health also? I noticed you have cooking on a cast iron pans. I am writing a paper on the connection between cookware and nutrition. I wanted to know opinion on this & perhaps it could be a cool video blog. Thanks.
I feel like the only caffeine problem is for intermittent fasters. Being a xenobiotic, even black coffee, technically breaks the fast, because all xenobiotics have to be metabolized.
How in the world do remember how to pronounce these crazy words?
I’ve been off caffeine for two days and my ketone levels are double what they normally are. This goes against what most of the research says.
This is just after one meter reading, so I’m going to measure a few more times to see if it’s a fluke or not.
How about a video on the effects of brushing your teeth when fasting? Thanks.
David Mendum what kind of effects are there?
brush them, but i never use toothpaste.. just warm water and brush it, scrap the tongue. thats it.. but i do OMAD and eat at 7-8Pm at home, so i can brush using toothpaste right after it.. morning i just brush like I've said infront.
When you brush your teeth, you always consume a small amount of toothpaste (specially if you use more than the pea size amount). This can upset your stomach, or stimulate your stomach so you get hungry. Anything you don't eat (or take, like medications), don't exercise or don't stress has no effect in your fasting.
Try brushing your teeth with pure activated charcoal. It's better than toothpaste, you can even drink it and it's an amazing detoxifier.
David Mendum Use no flourish paste
He didn't go over if you are type 2 when I excersise I get a 20 up in my blood sugar. Even days I do HIIT. That rebound may not be as insignificant in someone being type 2.
