This is a YouTube video titled "The benefits of having coffee while you fast." It contains a monologue or single-speaker discussion recorded on May 24, 2024, explaining how consuming fat and coffee during fasting affects insulin levels, autophagy, ketone production, and gut bacteria. The speaker presents evidence and traditional practices related to fasting beverages.
I'll stand by the fact that if you put only fat in during a fast, depending on the type of fat, your insulin levels will not change whatsoever and autophagy at least one the primary form of autophagy, which is when your cells break down dead old cells and get rid of junk that that stays turned on. If you have only fat, I think the evidence is in at this point. Having coffee during a fast will double the amount of ketones your body makes and the polyphenols in plant compounds without all the carbs, without all the protein that those will actually feed your good gut bacteria. So I'm very suspic who say you can only have water. They haven't tried a double blind study of water versus a coffee fast, but traditionally they drank tea during a fast.
