What TO and NOT to Eat to Break Your Fast/Intermittent Fasting

- Опубликовано: 28 сен 2024
- I was doing this wrong when I first started Intermittent Fasting. I share my mistakes so you can start of successful on your journey. It is best to break your fast with protein and high quality fats. Protein, fat and fiber are important in a meal to keep me satisfied and not spiking glucose levels and being hangry. We don't want a constant insulin response in the body.

"This is not a diet, it is a lifestyle..." extremely profound statement!
Exactly!
So I have one problem. I can fast 24 hours or even extended fast, but problem comes when I start eating I can’t stop. Like I eat the whole kitchen. Feels horrible. Help!
@@lulunaji5143 if I was you, I’d do alternate day fasting. That way when you wake up you just eat normally
Just broke my fast with 16oz water, ACV, lemon Juice and chia seeds. A tad challenging to get down but I think I’ll be able to get use to it. So stinking excited to have found you. It’s a total Jesus prayer answer! Can’t wait to binge all your videos.
I discovered intermittent fasting videos after going to the doctor and finding my weight up, my blood pressure up and my cholesterol up. My husband and I started eating better in December and started intermittent fasting in January and he is down 14 and I am down 8. It is so good to learn that you can enjoy good food and lose weight and be healthy. I'm really into steak and mushrooms right now and from what I've seen, I can cook my mushrooms in butter and be happy!
What a difference tweaking one thing, “when” you eat, has changed things so much for both of you. And yes, still get to enjoy food!
Your videos have been very motivating since you keep it simple. Have been trying only green tea before breaking my fast during 16:8 and I'm amazed how my hunger has subdued so quickly eating this way. Snacking in the evening has always been the hardest to break but have been able to stick to my eating window. Hope you'll continue with this series.
Thank you! I will continue. I am on this journey too, so I will do it together sharing it with you all. Do you try to brush your teeth right after supper to try to help curb those desires to snack?
Yes I love all the I F info Autumn Bates gives. I’m so glad I found your channel because you’re at an age that’s relatable to so many of us . Thanks for all the tips and please keep them coming 😊
I will! Thank you!
I have been doing Intermittent Fasting for 4 years. I went from a size 18 to a size 4 in a year and a half. I think I lost over 100 pounds. I have kept off my weight. I started this way of eating slowly. For the first month my breakfast was at 2 pm and dinner was at 7 pm. I then increased my fasting hours. For example my first meal would be at 3:30 and my second meal would be at 6. I did this for many months. I worked up to only eating once a day. I don’t restrict myself calorie wise. I just eat what my body is craving, with in reason of course. I don’t gorge myself. I just eat until I’m full. I limit sweets. I usually have a desert once a week. I also make sure that I eat at least 1000 calories a day. The worst thing you can do is eat less than 1000 and slow your metabolism. I drink a lot of water during the day. I like the flavored watered such as LaCroix . I stay away from diet drinks. I have black coffee in the morning.
Wow Sandra!! This is awesome!! Thank you for sharing your story and for the tips. I am just starting out. Amazing story!! Val
I will do just what you did and remind me in 1years time to know if it worked or not😊
Sandra! From a size 18 to a size 4 is just wow!!
How long did it take for you to start losing weight Sandra ?
@@geetaofindia , it took 3 months before it was really noticeable.
Dr. Berg’s videos are very helpful, and he also mentioned avoiding dairy and nuts if you’re having any problems with inflammation. That being said, when I do have dairy, I love a good bowl of cottage cheese with Chia seeds in it, makes it like a chunky Chia pudding. Add some diced peaches and it taste like a dessert! Yum 😋
Oh, since I love cottage cheese adding chia seeds is a great idea! I am actually eating a little lower in dairy right now. Going to see if it does make me feel any different. I know conventional dairy can't be great for us.
Thank you for sharing! I do intermittent fasting as well, I eat only twice a day… 10:30 morning and then again 6pm ❤
It sounds like you have found a perfect schedule that works great for you! Kudos for doing intermittent fasting too.
@@sandysteinbrook :)
I just have to say how inspiring and unbelievable your before and after pictures are- you look like you are in your thirties, so when you shared that you were 51, I was shocked! Keep up the great work and Thankyou for all your helpful and great videos!❤😊
Thank you!!!!
Thanks 🙏 for sharing 😊 mostly how to eat and break a fast.
I'm still getting the hang of it.
Fasting 16/18 but I was eating to many carb's 😢so haven't seen great results yet.
So thanks to you I'll try and change my diet 😊
Keep sharing please ❤
I bet that will help! Do you also do a clean fast? I know before I changed to a clean fast, I was not losing weight.
Soooo soooo helpful. Thank you! I have been breaking my fast with overnight oats, peanut butter and wild blueberries. But I’m going to start the break fast with vinegar-lemon-water and I’ll add an egg or yogurt and chia seeds with my break.
I think you will do even better when you make that change! I am so glad you let me know this was helpful. :)
I'm new a this,so what do you mean Breaking you're fast?
Great Info & Motivation! I'm on day two of 21/3 and feeling good. Down 4lbs. My favorite meal is cheesy scrambled eggs, and 2nd favorite is green beans with real butter, fresh ground salt & pepper, a dash of onion powder. I also do an ounce of great quality EVOO, and the ACV drink early evening. Favorite treat is Lite & Fit Greek Yogurt - Strawberry Cheesecake with added Genepro protein powder. I am doing Low Carb.
Great job! I can hear the motivation in your voice. You can do this!
I do 21/3 as well. I break my fast with the apple cider vinegar, a slice of grain bread (toasted) with avocado, tomato and smoked salmon. Then I have a nectarine and a mango. And of course a latte made with almond milk. I’ve lost 8lbs in 2 weeks! Yay!!! 😊But 20lb more to go😢
@@paulenedean3774, you can do it!! Keep it up, you won't regret sticking to it....and your first meal sounds delicious! That is my kind of eating.
Thank you for sharing this! I've tried intermittent fasting and I've found that what works best for me as I'm getting older is just keep track of 1500 calories a day, stay away from processed foods, no fast foods, choosing healthy foods, getting 8 hrs of sleep and walking, no machines no crazy marathon just walk and eat good while counting calories.
I think you have found the ticket to good health right there in everything you said.
Just found your channel today! I was intermittent fasting years ago and I didn't even know it! I need to get back on track! Loving your "what I eat in a day" videos. Keep them coming ;)
Thank you for letting me know you like them! And yes, you will be able to easily get back on track, mostly since you have done it before.
Vitials protein was brought out by Nestle’s. Watch the ingredients. Sometimes these big companies add “bad” ingredients. I like the ACV idea. I will add it to my routine.
I was shocked when I heard of some of what used to be the "natural" companies we trust have been bought out by these big brands! What??!!! I just recently learned of this and am so disappointed. Which companies do we trust.
Hi Sandy, I binged watched your vlogs last night. I too would love the soup recipe and the green bean recipe from the "What I eat" vlog. A cooking vlog would be very enjoyable.
Hi, Annie! thank you for watching. Here are the recipes:

Thank you for your great videos. I tried intermediate fasting years ago but did not stick with it and so regret it because it did work…but I have learned so much from you to help me this time. I started again about a week ago and have lost 5 lbs and lose about an ounce a day. I am feeling so much better already! Great video on how to break a fast…I learned alot.
It really helps me when you share comments like this to know that it is making a difference and helping others. Stick with it! you are already getting through the hard part of your body adapting to getting through the hunger. The scale is moving much faster for you than it did for me. If I had given up after the first 3-4 weeks of not seeing the scale really move, I would have missed out on all the huge benefits that were right around the corner!
Hi. Lori. Listen to dr. Jason fung. He's the master of intermittent fasting. Good tips!
I just finished watching your last video and this one popped up! I’m so excited to be on this journey with your channel family! 🤗❤️🙏. Thank you for helping us to lose weight and feel better! 😘. I broke my fast with a green drink. It has cucumber, fresh pineapple, ginger, jalapeño, fresh lemon juice and apple cider vinegar. I’ll start eating a boiled egg too. So no more coffee or tea with honey in the morning? 😢
I thought it was going to be so hard to not have none in my hot tea anymore, but amazingly, taste buds and the body adapts and I am fine to drink green tea plain now. I don't even think about putting sweetener in it anymore. And your green drink sounds amazingly delicious! So nutritious!
Can you share this green tea? Do you buy it or make it?
Sandy S
Thanks you’re so precise and to the Points!!
It’s a relief ands joy to absorb this whole synopsis!! I’m been dabbling with Intermittent Fasting for a couple years but now I’m more involved and keenly interested to the level I’m actually practicing with 16Hrs to 20Hrs and Doing an Eating Window of 8Hrs. I’m still tentative and learning form mistakes like you’ve pointed out and nearly or did feel my Blood Sugar Rise and did find myself again wanting to eat, not so much gorge but pick at the ones ie: cereal no good and since yesterday today I’ve corrected that style and ate my fibre , protein ,fats!! Sucess
Here I’m definitely walking ahead with no turning back to diets , Yes, Yes, Yes, Truly a Lifestyle 🙏🙏🙏🙏
No more diets!!! And, we learn from our mistakes. I am excited for you, Maria. You are on the step to better health!
Perfect timing! I was just about to break my fast and watched this video first. Just finished the lemon juice and apple cider vinegar water. I see what I was doing wrong. I have eggs for protein, but was consuming too much sugar and no fiber. I also had been eating a piece of fruit, a gluten free english muffin with jam as well as flavored Activia yogurt. If I could take plain greek yogurt and put a bit of raw honey in there to sweeten that along with the nuts and chia seeds, I would really enjoy that. I really appreciate these videos Sandy:)
How much lemon juice and apple cidar vinegar do you put in water?
Do that! Add some raw honey to it. A little bit will not hurt you, just a lot would be bad. Sometimes people squeeze a whole tablespoon out of the bottle for a little bit of yogurt. I have fruit with it. The main thing is I use make sure that protein and a healthy fat are present along with fiber. I love to fry 2 eggs to put on avocado toast. I still eat a piece of bread when I break my fast occasionally. I just make sure it is like an Ezekiel Bread type so it isn't full of bad stuff.
@@christinefleming2236 , I personally do 1 TBSP of ACV and 1 TBSP of lemon juice in 16 ounces of water. But, you may have to start with less and work your way up to that amount.
I am going to try this fasting after trying Keto and counting everything and having to change my way of cooking, and most things did not taste good at all! I did drop 10 pounds though, but not really losing anything else. Although I would like to try this it does sound like KETO is incorportated into this alot. So basically you can eat what you want but still eat healthy while elminiating carbs? I see this as an easier method than KETO. Thank you for the videos!
I love the akin cookie 🍪 commercials when watching a fasting video, lol!
Thanks for sharing . I haven’t lost weight yet but I am feeling better . I love that it is not a diet but a healthier life .
Let me encourage you not to give up. The scale basically didn’t move for me the first 3-4 weeks. But if I had quit, I would have missed out on all the weight loss and great benefits that were right around the corner. Some people have weight that falls off quickly, and others don’t. But almost everyone does end up losing weight.
I do 19/5 for years and it works great for me . I eat everything but not everyday. .I feel great.
It sounds like you have found the perfect thing for you! Thank you for sharing how you do it!
Sandy I am loving your videos. I do a 16/8 fast. Your videos are so encouraging and just what I need at this time! I just subscribed, and I'm looking forward to seeing more from you. Also, I would love the recipe to that delicious looking soup! One of my favorite ways to break my fast is with soup.
Funny thing... my dog is napping on his bed near me, (but I can't see him) and when I was hearing your dog barking to come in, I thought it was mine. I had to check because I was sure I had already let him in! 😄
Lol! I have done that too. Listening to a video that has a dog in it and think it is my dog.
Here is the link to the lentil/sausage soup.:

@@sandysteinbrook That soup looks yummy! Legumes are my very favorite good carbs, as I love doing them in the Instant Pot. SO tasty!!!
Thank you for the great info and explanations! Hi to your cute puppy girl! She's trying to help in her own way make sure you don't forget the dog walk for excercise!
goodness. I'm so glad I watched this. I've been have steel cut oats with fruit to break my fast AND granola! thanks for teaching they are both no no's. jeepers. so much to learn.
Oh my goodness, let me tell you…I have learned so much too! That is why I share. So others don’t make the same mistakes; I did. We learn as we go, right?!
Omg, I love Josie haha. I like listening to all your ideas, I really think all this really works. I go back and forth with IF, but it's generally what it works out for me, actually without even thinking about it. I just got done with Belly flush and Belly buster with Svelte. Just had a few stubborn lbs to feel light again, and I do most of what you mentioned. I love it, you're a sweetie. I'll look for all your other vids! Thank you....
Thank you so much for your kindness! We adore our Josie!
You’re very welcome! Look forward to my afternoon videos of you and Dr.Mandell too haha🤓
Thanks for sharing. This works for you because you were not diseased with Metabolic Syndrome when you had the good sense to correct your lifestyle. Thankfully, many Americans are still in your category and will profit by following your example. Unfortunately, many Americans have become Insulin Resistant and need to restrict carbohydrates below 50/day to correct and become Insulin Sensitive once again. It is a lifestyle change from a lifetime of processed foods and overeating carbohydrates. Dr. Sten Ekberg explains the concepts of IF and low-carb to ketogenic in a range that benefits everyone who wants to regain their health and well-being.
Thank you for sharing this, Linda, and Dr Ekberg's channel. You are right, many Americans are insulin resistant from being told one diet after another works, and trying different ones. I am reading a book called, "Why French Women Dont get Fat", so intrresting the different mindset than how we are raised in America.
several times a week I break my fast with a chia bowl - 125g greek yoghurt, half cup of unsweetened almond milk, tiny pinch of pink himalayan salt & about eight tsp of vanilla essence, half tsp Ceylon cinnamon & 2 tbsp chia seeds - when I take it out of the fridge I add 2 tbsp pumpkin seeds and around 5-7 raspberries for sweetness, sometimes a square of 90% dark chocolate - this fills me up keeps me going until dinner around 7pm - I have dropped 28 pounds since August 2020 - am around 150 lbs on a 5'9" frame - this is a lifestyle, no more dieting 🙂 I tend to do anything between 18 - 23 hours fasts, no 2 days are the same, on the weekend if we have family over I may only get a 14 hour fast in but I make sure the week is full of longer ones
Chia seed pudding is awesome and your recipe sound yummy! I agree, don’t let fasting get in the way of life. It’s so flexible!
You are so very informative and I just started this not long ago so I’m learning a lot from you and now I really understand why I should not have granola and yogurt as my first meal so thank you🤗
So, you can put granola on your oatmeal if that is the way you enjoy eating it just, make sure you have a lot more yogurt than granola and add some nuts and berries too for a rounded meal. A little granola for your enjoyment is ok.
I just ran across your videos. You’re informative and you break info down so everything is easily understood. Thank you so much!
Thank you for letting me know! That helpful to hear.
Just found your amazing vlogs ❤!! Great information, exactly what I needed. You’re exactly right about eating whole fats, and not low fat.
I am so glad you are here with me!!
I’m breaking my fast this morning. Would like to try that first 😊
Please share the recipe for your soup. That looks amazing!
Its so good! Carrara's copycat sausage/lentil soup. Here is the link:

Thank you for your tutorials! They are helping me. Love your doggie ♥️♥️♥️♥️
Thank you! She is precious to me!
Hey Sandy how about sharing what you eat for breakfast-fast, lunch and dinner. Thx blessings
Hi! I do have a handful of what I eat in a day videos on my channel. I am making another one that I will share this week. I took video of what I have eaten the past 3 days.
I just want to take this opportunity to thank you for your videos. They really help me to stay on track . I also am about the same age so its awesome to here from ladies going through the same things. Keep it up please! By the way where do you get all those beautiful earrings you wear on your videos?
I.f. friend,
Teresa
I have been wondering where she gets her earrings as well! They are all beautiful.
Hello, my IF friend! Thank you. I will continue to share videos. I just know that others will benefit from this lifestyle too. I actually had to go back and see what earrings I had on. I mostly buy my earrings at
TJ Maxx
@@heatherrowe2979 Thank you, Heather! I mostly buy earrings at TJ Maxx. I also have found beautiful ones at Hobby Lobby if you have one near you. They are sold up by the registers.
That was helpful, thanks! I thought I was doing intermittent fasting, but the weight wasn't changing much. I have been eating oatmeal for every breakfast for almost a year. I guess that must be what was wrong. Now I'll try your drink and some better choices.
I have learned that protein is the key to eat for breakfast. The issue with oatmeal is it spikes your blood sugar and whatever we eat the first meal of the day sets your metabolism for the rest of the day. I am just learning so much about protein. Here is a video I just did on eating protein to lose fat. Oatmeal isn't bad, its just best to eat it a little later in the day, or add plenty of protein to it. you could add chia seeds, flax seeds, protein powder, egg whites, nut butters....and it won't spike your blood sugar instantly.

@@sandysteinbrook Thanks so much for this information!
Thank you for sharing. I think I need to listen to your advice. Most of the time I break my fast with sourdough toast. I have been trying to drink a protein shake and then have my Macha 🍵 but I need to stick with that more often because the weight stopped coming off. Thanks for your advice 😊
I think it will help. I eat carbs and love sourdough bread, but I make sure and get the protein first meal with some lower carb foods. But I enjoy bread at dinner or a sandwich at lunch.
This is great information, thank you. If you're looking for video ideas, that soup looks delicious, I would love to see how you make it.
Thank you! It is delicious. Here is the recipe if you want to make it too.

I love your videos and you are such a lovely person. Update... I'm at 31 days today on 16/8 IF and some days up to 20 hours fasting. In previous comments I've mentioned all the good whole foods I enjoy. As of today I have lost zero weight and my digital scale shows all other numbers the same pretty much too ie...fat/water/BMI. What am I doing wrong? 😕 help please, thank you ❤
If you're at least eating lower than 1600 calories, you'll lost weight. I wonder what the answer is to why you haven't lost weight, too! I'm sorry to hear that. I'll see if you get an answer by someone who knows.
@Michelle Gurrola thank you. I power walk most days too, weather permitting and my calories are definitely about 1600 or less. I've been logging my food on my fitness pal since 2011 lol so I do track calories. I'm 10 to 13 pounds up for almost a year of up and down on the scale, mostly up. Wondering if my estrogen is to much and causing me to be dominant in that hormone. I've upped my progesterone cream to 3 times a day to combat that hopefully. Thought surely the IF would give results but has NOT.
Break my fast w a handful of nuts...then a small lunch like sandwich, fruit, peanut butter, cheese, & a treat...then a regular dinner incl meat & veggie..ex like hamburger sandwich & okra w cheese slices, dark choc for treat or popcorn....been doing it for over 4 years keeping weight off 👍 BUT...take a fast break once or twice a week& eat breakfast earlier( to stir up metabolism)❤️
Sounds like you have found your sweet spot and it is important to keep the body guessing!
Very helpful thank you!!! Would love to see how you make your pizza and tacos sometime!
ok! I will have to share. Here is a video of my pizza dough recipe that I make:
ruclips.net/video/ssAqG3jVvpk/видео.html
@@sandysteinbrook thank you!!
Love doggy even more 🐶
We adore her!
You didn't seem overweight or obese. I started IF for blood sugar reasons, and went keto to cut carbs. I always hated breakfast, never felt hungry. So I do a 19:5 and I'm fine with it. Just 1-2 coffee (w/cream), green tea, and sparkling water. I'm 7 weeks in and my blood sugar levels are 88.
This might help others, but I drink a special concoction of collagen peptides, Vitamin D3 + MCT oil liquid, and whole psyllium husk in water. Psyllium husk is a healthy soluble fiber. I use it for cholesterol. But the husk really fills you up. I use about a tablespoon, and I feel full after drinking it. It doesn't taste bad when it's in water. Don't use more than a tablespoon per day because it might cause stomach issues, it is a soluble fiber.
Thank you for sharing. No, I wasn’t obese by any means but, I was not comfortable with myself and had put on a decent amount of weight. My clothes were uncomfortable. I made this carnage for my health and also to feel better about myself again.
I just found your channel and enjoying your shows! I recently learned that Vital Proteins is owned by Nestle (GMO giant) and contains heavy metals. I would love to hear your recommendation for an alternative brand.
Isn't that crazy! I always bought Bragg's apple cider vinegar until I found out it was bought by Hollywood stars that started adding water. Anyway, I have been using a good bovine collagen from igennus. I buy it on Amazon. Here is the link. amzn.to/3WIAdil It is made by a company in the UK, where they have much higher regulations on chemicals they are NOT allowed to have in their products that are allowed in the United States.
I had sausage patties, full fat cottage cheese with blackberries, pomegranate arils, pecans and unsweetened shredded coconut. Delicious and super satisfying.
It sounds delicious and truly satisfying!
Love your good advice .. again .. thanks 👍🏼❤️ I agree about the switching it up .. and also like “ this is not a diet.. I get to enjoy food”. Yes … I have brain frog 😂😂 .. it often feels like a frog is controlling my brain as it hops from thing to thing. This video was very very helpful 👍🏼👍🏼
Frog... LOL!
Good information. Personally ,because of GI problems couldn’t do vinegar and lemon juice or chia seeds.
Definitely need to stay away from it.
Thank you so much for the valuable information! Can you please tell me more about the apple cider and lemon juice? How much of each? Thanks!!
I’m going to try this. Thanks Sandi.
Hello, Kathy! Thank you for watching!
You are looking wonderful!!!
Thank you!! ❤
How much apple cider vinegar and lemon juice and do you mix it with water?
Love your videos. And your puppy. 💞💞💞
Thank you!
I have been intermittent fasting for while now but i am also vegan so i struggle with breaking my fast and am not sure what to break fast with.
You still have a lot of good protein and healthy fat options with being a vegan though, right? Have you had really good results with the combination of intermittent fasting and eating vegan?
Such great advice! Thank you!
Hi Jennifer! I always enjoy hearing from you. After all this time I feel like I can call you Jen. 😅
@@sandysteinbrook Absolutely! That Bluetooth mic we talked about will help filter the steps of ol' Josie as well 😂🐶❤️
How much apple cider vinegar , lemon and water do you use?
I use 16-20 ounces of water and add 1 TBSP ACV, and 1 TBSP lemon juice. I drink it about 20 minutes before my first meal of the day to help regulate blood sugar levels before introducing food. A lot of times I add 1 TBSP chia seeds. Drink with a straw to protect your teeth!
I did IF for 5 years and stopped gaining but didn’t lose. I did get rid of some aches and pains. My elderly mother lost 50 pounds in her first year of IF. I had a heart attack a few months ago and have had to change my “diet”, aka what I eat. Hopefully I’ll lose now.
The fact that you didn't gain is a win! I think if you start back off with a clean fast, and you already know how to successfully do intermittent fasting, your body will kick back into gear and you will lose again.
How do you feel about keto ? Carnivore diet or the Mediterranean diet ???,
I think the Mediterranean diet is wonderful! We eat that way a lot. It ranks number one over and over for health.
For keto, I know people have great success with it! I tried it once, but I really missed certain foods and just couldn’t do it. Some days I eat lower carb than others. But if it is something that works for you, do it.
For carnivore, this is my personal opinion…I don’t know how it can be healthy to not eat vegetables and fruit. We need those nutrients. The healthiest people on the world eat a lot of vegetables and fruit.
We eat paleo with a heavy lean toward carnivore. Feel GREAT, energetic, and with IF -maintaining our healthy weight
Thanks for sharing
My pleasure!
I really enjoy your videos. I'm on Day 3. This video really did help. You mentioned something about a video on what to eat going into your fast. Are you still planning on doing that? Keep up the great work!
Thank you! Have you seen this one yet? I am also going to start doing some what I eat i a day videos to help give people different ideas.
ruclips.net/video/sL9-bwOvuOo/видео.html
@@sandysteinbrook yes I did watch it. That would be really helpful.
Just finding your info! I too have gained so much weight especially since covid. My question is if I do the 16:8 can I have my coffee with sugar free creamer? I can't drink it black. Also what about turkey bacon and eggs? Any bread I can have? Also, if I'm eating breakfast around noon, when can I have dinner? Thxs!
I do 16:8 and eat 3 meals in an 8 hour window. I do a clean fast. Fasting- meaning no additives in any drinks.
What happens if you start eating at 8am. Does that mean you fast eating at 3pm ??
Hi Sandy. Great video. Just wondering if you ever use Monk Fruit sweetener in place of honey?
I have not, butI assure it is a great substitution!
Your dog is trying to find the people your talking to. Lol
I think you are right! Lol!
I’m vegan so I need to adjust your suggestions
Yes! You know what foods you like best and contain the most protein and can totally adjust
Hi there can you tell me how much apple cider and how much lemon juice is needed in the first drink to break fast?
Hello, I drink 1 TBSP apple cider vinegar and 1 TBSP lemon juice in 16-20 ounces of water. drink with a straw to protect your teeth!
So, I have a couple of questions regarding the apple cider vinegar mixture. I to mix apple cider vinegar with lemon juice first thing in the morning.
1. Should I wait and drink that when I'm getting ready to eat?
2. I also would appreciate the measurements of quantity of apple cider vinegar, lemon juice, chia seeds?
I drink it about 20 minutes before I break my fast. It helps regulate blood sugar when I introduce food. I use 1 TBSP ACV, 1 TBSP lemon juice and 1 TBSP chia seeds in an 18-20 ounce glass of water. Stir and drink with a straw to protect teeth.
I heard collagen powder is a waste if money?
I think everyone seems to have their own opinions. Some people say they can tell a big difference in how their joints feel. I didn't see a difference personally.
How much lemon juice with chia seeds? Do you add water to that? How about Apple cider vinegar how much do you use? What are the measurements/ receipe or where did you find it? Thank you
Hello! I mix 1 TBSP apple cider vinegar, 1 TBSP lemon juice and 1 TSP chia seeds in 16-20 ounces of water. I use a straw to keep the acids off my teeth and to keep stirring as I drink so the chia seeds don't stick to the glass. It may be too much for some at first. If so, just half the amount of apple cider vinegar and lemon juice.
Plz give us the recipe for the ACV. How much do you stir in the lemon juice? Are the tablets the same if you can't get the ACV down? Thank you!
I have read that there are not many studies that have been done to show the efficacy of the ACV tablets or gummies. But, for people who can not stomach drinking ACV, it is a great option. My drink is 1 TBSP of ACV, 1 TBSP of lemon juice and 1 TBSP of chia seeds, if using. I stir it in a 16 ounce glass of water and drink with a straw to protect my teeth.
ACV + lemon juice and chia seeds... Ya that's gonna be a no from me dawg! Yikes! That feels like a diet. Everything else is doable.
Lol!
Hello! I just came across your video. Very informative! I've been doing IF for over 4 years. Originally lost 40 pounds, but some has crept back on. 😥 I've heard of ACV, but more as a 'shot' not a full glass. Can you tell me the ratio of what you put in your opening drink?? Thank you.
Definitely don't do a whole glass and don't do a shot. It is too acidic. Best thing you can do is mix 1 Tablespoon of ACV with 16 ounces of water and drink it that way. If you want to add more benefit, put 1 Tablespoon of lemon juice with it. These will help stabilize your blood sugar. I drink this about 20 minutes before I break my fast.
You have mentioned having the occasional cookie when you feel like it. Do you eat it in the middle of your eating window? Just starting this journey and trying to figure out when the best time is to have the occasional treat. Thanks
I do. I like to have afternoon tea when I am home and many of those times I will have something sweet with it like a piece of chocolate or a cookie. Or I will have a piece of fruit with some nuts.
@@sandysteinbrook Thank you!
Great video! I also watch Autumn Bates, she gives awesome information. What measurements do you use for the vinegar and Lemon juice, also with the chia seeds.. I would definitely like to try it to break my fast!
Hello! I use 1 TBSP ACV, 1 TBSP lemon juice and 1 TBSP chia seeds in a 16 ounce glass of water. While drinking it you will have to use your straw to keep stirring it around of the chia seeds will stick to the wall of the glass cup. It may be too big of doses, and you may start with lesser amounts of the acv and lemon juice and work your way up.
@@sandysteinbrook Thanks you so much! Will be starting it today. Also do you wait minutes after you drink this before eating your first meal?
Hello, Thankyou for this great, informative video. Can I ask how much apple cider vinegar & lemon juice you drink to beak your fast? Thankyou from Sydney 🇦🇺
Hello in Sydney!. I love to hear from people in other parts of the world. For the amount, I use 1 TBSP of apple cider vinegar, ! TBSP of lemon juice and 1 TBSP of chia seeds, if using those. Now, if that is too strong at first, just use smaller amounts and work your way up to the full amount.
Thanks for your video. I was wondering what the ratio of Apple cider vinegar to lemon juice is? Also, is it lemon juice concentrate?
It is not concentrate. It is real lemon juice, but instead of having to squeeze a lemon now, I found it sold by the Santa Cruz brand in the juice aisle.
I use 1 TBSP ACV, 1 TBSP lemon juice mixed in 16-20 ounces of water. Drink with a straw to protect your teeth and if it seems too strong for you just half the ACV and lemon juice amount
I break my fast after 16 hours which is lunch time with salmon. I buy smoked salmon every week at my fresh local fish store.
I love smoked salmon!!
Hi Sandy! Great videos. How much Apple Cider Vinegar do you use in your drink you mentioned?
Hello! I use 1 TBSP ACV and 1 TBSP lemon juice to 16-20 ounces of water. Make sure and drink it with a straw to protect your teeth from the acid.
What is the ratio in the apple cider vinegar, lemon juice and chia seed drink? Do you mix in water as well?
Yes, mix it in water! So, I use 1 TBSP. apple cider vinegar, 1 TBSP lemon juice and 1 TBSP chia seeds mixed in 16-20 ounces of water. I use a straw to protect my teeth and keep stirring the drink because if not the chia seeds will stick to the sides of the glass. Now, that amount of acv ad lemon juice may be too much for some. Just half those amounts.
Hi! I am confused about the term you use "breaking your fast". Are you referring to the first meal of the day or eating outside of your or your 8 hours? I'm new to fasting and just trying to understand.
Hello! Breaking my fast means my first meal of the day. The first thing I consume to take my body out of a fasted state. Otherwise I do not eat outside of my 8 hour window or....that would be breaking my fast. Any kind of calories, or flavors, consumed during the fasting window will take me out of a fasted state. Does that make sense?
I am a 50 year old male looking to loose 15 pounds. Will this also work for men? And what is the process to drink coffee in the morning to not break your fast? Nothing with creamer? Thanks for posting your videos.
Hello, Travis! YES, it absolutely works for men too! I have a male friend who has lost 50 pounds doing intermittent fasting. If you want to do a clean fast, drink black coffee. Most people who do a clean fast see the quickest results. Clean fast meaning zero calories, added flavors or sweeteners.
@@sandysteinbrook I really struggle with black coffee, that is going to be tough! Wish there was a coffee brand I could find that tasted good with no sweeteners! I am on day 3 now and so far has not been bad. I am also taking the ACV, lemon, honey, Camomile, and cinnamon drink in the evening.
@@Travis8126 try switching to tea.
I am fasting, doing the 16_8. My head is hurting, though.
You need electrolytes, Joanne! The same thing happened to me! I started to drink salt and it got better. I made a video on how to make a natural electrolyte. Here is the link: ruclips.net/video/-OXbwyba4Mg/видео.html You can add lemon or lime juice and honey for taste. This should really help you.
Or get a good electrolyte, not gatorade. You can buy electrolytes like LMNT or IV Hydration on Amazon or at the grocery.
I lose a few kg when I fast but always plateau and can’t drop further
That will happen to anyone. Our body gets used to what we are doing and needs to do something different to shake it up a bit. You could adjust your fasting length. Do a few shorter days or longer days in a week. You could change your food some. I started eating low carb 2 days a week just for this very reason. I needed to make suer my body didn't get used to the same thing everyday, which it was.
I am 53 and really need to lose about 15lbs and belly fat. How long does it typically take to start seeing results? I walk 5 days a week, 4 - 5 miles, and I seem to be gaining weight.
I didn't lose any weight for the first 4 weeks, but I was feeling better. I am glad I didn't get discouraged and quit because big benefits were right around the corner. Are you eating enough protein? I am sharing a video today that is about carb cycling. It will increase your weightless and it is such a simple concept the way I learned it. You should watch that video. I really think it would be helpful for you and losing not just weigh, but fat.
Question. I need a response.
About last meal (i do 16/8); whatever the schedule is (10a-6p, 11a-7p, 12-8p) am I to have meal prior to cut-off hour OR I can it be exactly at 6,7, or 8pm hour???
I get twisted on that.... Sometimes im right at the hour when i eat. But i dont eat after...KITCHEN CLOSED for the night😄
Technically it means, when you are done eating, not when you start eating. BUT, in saying that, you do what works for you. Don't get too hung up on trying to get your fasting window down to the exact minute. Be flexible and let it work around your schedule.
Wow! You look beautiful ❤️
Thank you!
love your doggie!
thank you! We love her dearly!
Can you switch up your fasts every couple days? I try to do the 16 hour fasts but sometimes I just feel really hungry and end up only being able to fast about 14 hours. Will this hurt the process?
No! You do what your body needs. Every one of us are different. Go 16 hours if you are able to but don't sweat it if you go 14 hours one day. Your body is still gaining a benefit from the fasting time.
How much ASV/ lemon juice. Are you mixing with water?
I use 1 TBSP ACV and 1 TBSP lemon juice mixed in 16-20 ounces of water. Drink with a straw to protect your teeth! Now, for some people that is way too strong. If you find it too strong dilute it more by just using half the amount of ACV and lemon juice.
Hi Sandy, you look amazing! I hope it is ok to ask , but your bust size definitely much smaller . Did IF helped with it ? I would love to reduce my bust size . Thank you .
Its totally fine to ask. Yes, I lost weight all over, including my bust size.
Hi. For the ACV how much do u drink? Mix with water and lemon lime?
I personally use 1 Tablespoon of ACV, and 1 Tablespoon of lemon juice in 16 ounces of water. But, if that is too tart, just lessen the amount to 1 Tablespoon total and work your way up to a Tablespoon of each.
@@sandysteinbrook thank you, also would you please share one of your videos on what exactly I can eat breakfast lunch and dinner? This is my second week doing 16/8 I lost 8 pounds already. I just want more ideas on what to eat
@@carmenvenegas901 Yes, I sure will!
It be hard for me to do intermittent fasting because I enjoy my coffee and creamer in the morning 🤣
Yeah...Lol.
When I switched to doing a clean fast, everything started to change for me. But, I won't say it was easy giving up my herbal tea with honey in the morning. But, after my body got used to it, I seriously don't even miss it now.
@@sandysteinbrook most definitely will have to try that❤️
How long have you been doing this?
I started intermittent fasting August 2022.
One thing I can attest to is DO NOT drink a cup of bone broth before you eat. Definitely after breakfast.
Thank you! I learned something new
Inflammation will improve if you cut out the gluten, maybe the dairy?
My inflammation has improved a ton. I agree that conventional gluten is so bad. I eat break that is more like Ezekial bread or I make my own homemade with ground wheat berries. I lie brea, a lot. So I needed to find good resources that wasn't the American bread int he bread aisle, which is so inflammatory to our bodies.
Hi Sandy.
Just wondering what your ratio of lemon juice, apple cider vinegar and water is for your morning drink? Thanks for all the info you are sharing. I intend to give this a serious try.
Hello, Glenda! I use 1 TBSP or apple cider vinegar, 1 TBSP of lemon juice and 1 TBSP of chia seeds, if you're using those. I should also add that if that is too much to begin with, use smaller amounts and work your way up to the full amounts.
How much water with this, please?
@@davinaholaday5873 another answer, she said 16oz
@@moij5962 Thank you!
Can I have sugar free coffee mate with coffee in the morn and still continue with the fasting window ?
For a clean fast, having any kind of additives in your coffee will break your fast. Now in saying that, you make a personal decision of what is best for you. When I started clean fasting is when I started seeing results. I was dirty fasting by putting additives in my hot tea. Once I stopped, the weight and inflammation started coming off easily.
@@sandysteinbrook thanks Sandy I will try it clean fingers crossed. Thank you for all the inspiration
@@sandysteinbrook how long did it take for the weight to start coming off ?
@@geetaofindia, then honest answer is it took a while for me. I didn't lose any weight until almost 4 weeks. I thought I was doing something wrong, which I was with a dirty fast. So I went back and reread the book "Fast. Feast. Repeat" by Gin Stephens and she explains doing a clean fast but asl says to "Trust the process" because it takes longer for some people to lose weight. I am glad I didn't give up because once I started losing, I kept losing and started reaping all the other benefits too. So, if you have my experience let me encourage you to not give up too early. It will work.
@@sandysteinbrook I have just started And thankfully I caught your video on cleanfasts on day 2 so I switched to black coffee without creamer in the morning and have started doing 16:8. I am hoping clean fasts will get me there faster. Thanks for everything
What do you suggest for not being at home three days a week during your time to have your first meal? Smoothies are not enough for me. Those days are not at work but my son’s events or church… Extend the fast or eat in the car? 😂
Eat the car! 😂😂. You can definitely extend the fast. Studies have shown that a longer fast has even more benefits and weight loss. Or just pack some food. Boiled eggs, nut, veggies...do you like that kind of stuff?
@@sandysteinbrook Thank you for your reply. I am serious that those 3 days a week, I end up giving up and eating before we leave the house. I can do some snacks here and there I guess. Hard to wait till 12:30 to eat for the first time😩
