Drinking coffee, tea and MCT oil powder while extended fasting


(Jeremiah ) #1

God’s blessings to all my ketonian family or there today. Hey just curious about a particular topic I know almost nothing about. Autophagy and an I’m wondering if by breaking my fast with MCT oil powder is hindering a pathway that I might otherwise get benefits to if I could just try to do without the powder. Also the same question with tea and coffee. Should I be trying to just do a water only fast to get particular benefits or should I keep fueling my liver with keytones from the MCT oil powder. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated

Do you have a way to test blood ketones during your fast? I see little benefit in boosting them while they are likely already high.

As far autophagy goes, most people include tea and coffee and maybe some fat if needed, but avoid any proteins.
