In today's episode, Dr. Ching is offering invaluable advice on which beverages are the most suitable to drink during periods of intermittent fasting. She discusses the importance of maintaining the fasting state for weight loss, insulin resistance, ketosis, and autophagy. Dr. Ching also explores various drink options such as bulletproof coffee, bone broth, herbal tea, and apple cider vinegar, highlighting their effects on weight loss and fasting benefits. She advises against drinks like skim milk, green juice, coconut water, and alcohol due to their potential to disrupt fasting goals.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Intermittent fasting can aid in weight loss, reduce insulin resistance, and help with type 2 diabetes by promoting ketosis and autophagy.

• Water, herbal tea, apple cider vinegar, and limited amounts of green tea and black tea are recommended during intermittent fasting to support weight loss, insulin resistance, and ketosis.

• Skim milk, almond milk, bone broth, alcohol, green juice, coconut water, orange juice, and soda (including diet soda) should be avoided as they may disrupt fasting benefits and trigger insulin responses.

• Drinks containing caffeine, such as coffee and green tea, should be consumed in moderation as caffeine can stimulate stress hormones and potentially trigger insulin pathways.

• Water is highlighted as the best choice for intermittent fasting, but if variety is desired, herbal tea, apple cider vinegar, and minimal green or black tea can be suitable alternatives.

BEST MOMENTS

"A lot of people do ask what can be taken in or drank which doesn't break the fast."

"Alcohol makes non-alcoholic fatty liver worse and can cause alcoholic fatty liver disease as well."

"Diet soda actually will stop the body from losing weight, trigger off insulin secretion, and stop the body from going into ketosis."

"Apple cider vinegar definitely should be fine because it hasn't got much calorie and no sugar in there to trigger off insulin pathway."

"Green tea has got some caffeine in it. Caffeine can trigger off activation of the stress hormone coming out sometimes because you're being stimulated."
