…i appreciate this video so much- at 435lbs, I’ve began following you- my severe addiction was soda- I was beyond depressed, and the acidic burn became massively addictive- my highest weight was 480. this is day 3 with NO soda- I am so very proud of myself- id like to add how very detailed your videos are- you make things so very easy to understand- you literally save lives- thank you for saving mine. ❤
Eh, I really don't think he's operating on that level of sketch. Sure, he promotes, but he balances it with honest information. Honest from his own research and experience.
Except the one he's promoting and earns a commission from, plus the Splenda one just to pad the outcome a little, lol - this guy's a salesman, at least he's selling the right kinds of things.
@@40KoopasWereHere whether its biased or not is irrelevant, the point is was it true and was the science on point, if it is then you have nothing to whine about
I forgot to ask, What about Sweet Leaf Water Drops? Its made with Stevia... Here are all the Ingredients: ,Water, Organic Stevia Leaf Extract, Natural Raspberry Lemonade Flavor Blend, Citric Acid. That's it.
Its crazy you make over 100k per year from this channel. That ain't easy. And your knowledge is top of the line. Trust me you deserve all the success. So basically what you your saying hear is just man up and just drink clean water. PERIOD!!!! THANKS THOMAS
Hi Thomas, first I wanted to say that I started a keto diet in September of 2019 due to your keto challenge and have lost 70 lbs to date and still going. I have reversed my type 2 diabetes, no longer on diabetic medication, and I feel great! Thank you for the encouragement to begin. Regarding this video, could you give us your method for making your own liquid monk fruit sweetener? You said you add some monk fruit extract to some apple cider vinegar (ACV). What amounts do you use and do you add anything else? Seems to me the monk fruit wouldn't be enough to overcome the bad taste of the ACV, no? Thank you again for all that you do!
Thomas your wonderful videos have made the difference in my staying on keto and giving up. You always have such high value information that nobody else covers. Love knowing about the lakanto and am def ordering. Thank you!!
Just order the special bonus bundle of the lemon sweetener and the monk fruit, thanks Thomas! I've learned so much from your videos over the past few weeks, ketoconnect sent me your way, thank you so much for all the knowledge. I love my new keto lifestyle!
Using SweetLeaf brand WaterDrops : Ingredients - vegetable glycerin, purified water, citric acid, malic acid, natural flavor, stevia leaf extract and sodium citrate....You didn't mention this one..or some of its ingredients...Wondering what your thoughts are. And on a side note...I love your content.
Original (not flavored) Topo Chico ! Carbonated magical Mexican mineral water from an underground Spring in Monterey that taste like little razor blades hitting your tongue. Taste amazing with lime and salt. Nice chaser for espresso drinks. Rarely found outside of Texas, however, you can get it at Whole Foods. Sodium. Magnesium. Calcium. Potassium. Manganese
OMG NOOOOO~ I've been doing keto for the past 2 weeks using 2 gallons of water and a 1/4 - 1/2 a container of Mio every day! 😱 Why would they put a sugar derivative in a sugar free product? 🥺
Not understanding who would want to try flavored water...it's so many unnecessary added ingredients to shelf stable flavored items that I've learned to not trust them. Coffee, green tea, Topo Chico (THE BESSSST SPARKLING WATER EVER ON EARTH) and water are my staples. I used to use a combo of organic stevia, organic monk fruit (no fillers Julian Bakery ~ Amazon) and a pinch of pink salt in my tea and coffee, and am proud to say I no longer use any sweeteners or HWC. Less is better when it comes to OMAD and fasting. This is an amazing way of life.
Does lemon water squeezed from a lemon , filtered, no pulp, diluted with 3 oz water, break a fast? It's less than 10 kcal consumed over couple of hours, does not raise blood sugar at all, but the vitamin c in it breaks a fast? As in fat occidation and or autophagy?
Thomas DeLauer I have definitely seen those, but not a lot on preworkout. Is it the same as BCAs? I wait to drink BCAs (thanks to you) until after breakfast, but I really don’t like coffee for a preworkout. I work out at 5 am fasted.
Corey Baxter because it’s confusing. Dr. Berg says as long as its sugar free you’re fine. But some say sugar free but will have 1 gr Sugar Alcohol. Or some will say no sugar alcohol but will have ingredients that are confusing. Or some say sugar free and the ingredients look ok(to me), but will say like 1 gr or
I get what you're saying but....a squirt is such a SMALL amount! You've convinced me to drink apple cider vinegar everyday but the only way I can handle it is with Orange MiO/Market Pantry brand in it. It's only a squirt in 32 oz. How bad can that be, really. I've incorporated SOOOO much of your advise into my keto/fasting life; but this may be one I'm going to have to ignore. I know what you're going to say...."Do what works best for you" lol
@@ThomasDeLauerOfficial So today I tried it without the orange drops. H2O, ACV, juice of 1/4 lemon, and stevia. It's actually really good. Just like a tart lemonade. I'm going to order the Lakanto drops after my stevia is gone. Question: How do I know if I'm getting that excitotoxin (sp?) response? I don't feel any different.
@@europhobicantiwhitism3563 I believe he mentioned in past vitamains c break autophagy and not allowing the cells to be stressed out in order to get the benefits of fasting
u cant measure it lemon depends on it might have traces of sugar up to you not a major thing but also not the full benefits of autograph/antiaging @@europhobicantiwhitism3563
Thank you. I've been doing IF for awhile but have been flavoring my gallon of water with the Walmart brand grape powder. I have been trying to find out for over a year if it was ok or not. It sucks to find out I've been negating most of my IF benefits, but excited to know how to go forward. Lakonto it is. Thank you.
Phenylalanine is an essential aromatic amino acid in humans. Phenylalanine isn't a health concern for most people. However, for people who have the genetic disorder phenylketonuria (PKU) or certain other health conditions phenylalanine can be a serious health concern.
It was my understanding that sucralose, despite being a sucrose derivative, does not interact with insulin. The same with allulose. I'd have to do more research, but I believe a study has been performed where they monitor the blood-insulin levels over the course of a day in a test group when ingesting sucralose and they modeled fasting insulin levels.
The only water flavoring I ever use is Water Drops by SweetLeaf. I get it in my local health food store. Ingredients: Vegetable glycerin, purified water, citric acid, malic acid, natural flavor, stevia leaf extract, sodium citrate. 0 calories, 0 sugar, but it does have 1 gram of carb per serving (1 squeeze of bottle). I like the rasperberry lemonade flavor. And I was unaware about antioxidant vitamins breaking a fast. I took them during my 6 day fast this past week. I still lost 8 lbs. And I was already very low carb, fat adapted, so it wasn't just water weight.
Everything zero calorie/sugar seems to have sucralose, I've been using propel electrolytes powder packets. Guess I stick to straight water with Himalayan salt and black coffee with stevia
Depends on your reason for the fast. I believe ACV contains protein which mean that it would probably halt autophagy. Now if that is not the goal and youre only interested in weightlosss, then no. However, if body recomposition is something that you'd want , don't drink the acv during your fast.
I assumed those Welches & Crush packets broke my fast because of the sweet taste but its pretty cool 2 know y, i.been waiting on a video on this topic, this had 2 be work for u to get the breakdown on all these compounds & what they did, salute! I appreciate u
Hi Thomas, thanks for this! I’ve been messing with different sweeteners. What about carbonated water such as ICE, Bubbly, or LaCroix? Thanks as always!!
Just wanted to say thank you. I've been using mio for a while and wasn't sure if it was breaking my fast. I still have a little bit left in the house but I'm immediately stopping the use of it until after my fast stops. I will only use it during my window of 12:00 to 8:00 p.m. outside of that it will be clear water or coffee. I tried to order Lakanto but it says their website is sold out. And splenda zero is at Walmart but they want almost $8 a bottle. again thank you This helped me make a better decision for myself. Keep up the good work. I'm loving the content
How about a product that lists these ingredients: Carbonated water, sodium Bisulfate, Potassium Citrate, Magnesium Sulfate, Natural Flavor. Would these break a fast? It’s not a flavor adder, it’s a flavored carbonated water.
👍👍👍I just tried flavored water first time last week. it was 'Stur', it tastes ok. by label it seemed like the best on the shelf at Wegmans.? just started watching the vid, will see if I was right or wrong.?🤔☺
Hello Thomas, Remember the video "Top 10 things to add to your coffee" ? Is it safe to mix the cinamon,tumeric, cacao and ghee altogether in the coffee ? I do it almost everyday. And another thing, is the nitric oxide along with the feeling of fullness and good mood available in cocoa? Because they are manufactured differently.
I don't agree on the Crystal Light or Mio liquids. Why? Ive done blood tests after having both and my blood glucose didn't move at all. If it had that impact on releasing insulin then my blood glucose would have and SHOULD have elevated.
I was expecting this to be, “All of these are trash. Don’t use any of them.” Speaking candidly, I don’t use any of those flavored water things. Anyways, I have a question though. What would you recommend on an upset stomach? I don’t know what I ate, but something didn’t sit quite well with me and I threw up. What would you recommend for recovery and treating an upset stomach? Thanks for all the great content you make. You’ve helped change my life for the better :0)
Can you do one of these with gum? I hate the gray tongue I get when fasting. I chew a mentos gum with a crunchy outside because it scrapes my tongue and cleans it. I'm sure it probably breaks my fast.
Following on from my last comment, the sweetners are as follows: sodium cyclamate, sodium saccharin, acesulfame potassuim and sucralose. Please let me know....any help would be much appreciated.
I love to flavor water by making cinnamon tea. I have also heard that cinnamon has antioxidants and these break a fast from the best of my knowledge. Would cinnamon tea break a fast?
Lol. Three weeks into Keto what time are the first two weeks drinking crystal light every day and about a gallon of it every day. I was dehydrated the whole time and fasting but drinking a ton of that. I don’t measure my key tones but I’m eating a very clean keto/Mediterranean type of diet. I’m just giving my body what it needs and cutting out everything bad to get through the first couple months and just kind of break the habit of eating bread or anything with sugar in it, I was kind of a fruit junkie are used to start my day with a huge smoothie, How do use a whole banana a whole apple a decent size handful of frozen fruit usually a mix of mango and strawberries and pineapple and peach, I would throw in a flavored yogurt and usually some apple juice or some of the Crystal light drink so it would blend and a couple packets of sweet and low. 😬 For the last week and a half I’ve been making a gallon of green tea, kind of light on the green tea chop up a lemon in it and replace the lemon about once a week, now I’m squeezing the lemon to get a little more juice in there and replacing it every for five days, I put Himalayan pink salt in it about 2 teaspoons I would guess maybe a little less but I’ve been drinking about a gallon of that a day now I’ve been looking at videos dealing with dehydration and I kind a realized I’m drinking too much and throwing off my electrolytes which is why I was getting a bunch of twitching and had to take magnesium supplements to get rid of that but no I’m adding salt and magnesium I’m not getting enough potassium so today my first of two meals I took about 6 cups of kale and spinach and dark leafy green mix and some cabbage on top of that and blended it and made it kind of vegetable soup with a little ground beef that was already cooked salt I threw a little bit of onion and a couple of grape tomatoes and some mushrooms and some hot sauce and had a huge bowl of soup instead of drinking a huge glass of water or the green tea. I’m still drinking that but for the last couple days I’ve been drinking about half of that and I’m more hydrated but my electrolytes are still funkySo I’m figuring the soup would fix it but for the other 18 hours a day that I’m not eating it would be niceTo have something that tasted OK to drink without messing it up. I’m guessing I wasn’t reaching autopoghy even though I was fasting 18 hours because during that time I was drinking half to 3/4 of a gallon of Crystal light, and even though I did it half dosage, instead of two large packets I would put one of the packets in the gallon but that’s kind of a bummer. 😂😂 guess I’ll be getting some Monk fruit sweetener now. Lol
Hi Thomas - Another very helpful video. What do you think about the Costco Sparking Carbonated Flavored Water - 0 carbs, Sucralose sweetener, + Vitamins. Will it break the fast?
Super useful information!!!! I think it would also be super useful to have videos on the benefits of things like: Maca, spurlina, choline, etc. Meaning one video focused on each one of those. Mainly because I feel like you touch on a lot of different supplements, powders, etc. but I'm always trying to do my own research to figure out things like what do they do as a whole, when to take them, how to know I need them,etc. Either way it'd be awesome! But I love your stuff! Again this was super useful
Nice video as always... i drink apple cider vinegar mixed sea salt and cream of tarter and limes and limes has vitamin c so does ACV so am i breaking my fast every morning? You posted a video back before saying it doesn't has insulin response so technically it doesn't break a fast
Interesting - thank you. I do use Mio, but not when I am fasting! During fasting, I limit coffee, drink this tumeric/matcha tea- with water, tumeric, & matcha. It isn’t very tasty, but I manage well enough- sometimes add a bit of organic Stevia (no maltodextrin)- but honestly, I hate to waste Stevia on it. Next time I am in CONUS, I will check out the monk fruit stuff.
