A lot of people to answer, I would say this is the biggest one and it shocks me that people think fasting means no food.

but that they can drink something.

We even got questions like, can I have a diet Coke?

Can I chew gum?

And so the biggest myth is that fasting is literally a state of not letting your blood sugar rise.

That's what you're trying not to do.

So if you drink a cup of coffee and your blood sugar stays stable, you are still in a fasted state.

But if you drink a green juice,

With all kinds of vegetables in it, your blood sugar may rise and you've now pulled yourself out of a fasted state.

So again, here's the biggest thing about that fasting window.

Like cream versus milk.

Yeah, you've got to put a CGM on, a continuous glucose monitor on, and test it for yourself because everybody's different.

But I'll give you sort of the general guidelines because coffee with cream works for some people and sometimes not for others.

So it really depends.

So let's go through coffee because coffee is a really important one for fasters.

Black coffee can stimulate something called autophagy, which is your cell's ability to detox itself.

It's phenomenal.

Black coffee from Starbucks is full of chemicals.

You don't want to be drinking a cup of chemicals.

And I'm not throwing Starbucks under that.
