I have read that those who fast allow bone broth but I'm not sure about cream.
@Goonergal please let us know how you get on. My weight loss has stalled and I don't know how to kick start it again. I wonder if this will work for you?
You may find it informative to have a look at Damien Blenkinsopps blog on his 5-10 FMD results.

I think water fast gives the best result. Some virgin coconut oil may help tide over day 2 during the metabolic switch when both glucose and ketone levels are low...
Good luck, experienced faster here, doing a 24 hour fast right now btw. My recommendation would be to not do the cream. Tea and coffe okay, but not cream, IT will just trigger hunger.I’m embarking on a 48 hour fast - my first of that length - which started after dinner tonight and will end with dinner on Sunday night.
The fast is more about Autophagy and improving insulin sensitivity than weight loss - despite big weight loss and a BMi of 23.1, there is more fat than I am comfortable with around my torso and I would like to change this.
My question is about the use of cream in hot drinks during the fast. Is that likely to interfere with Autophagy? Would it be better to stick to a water only fast?
Any other tips?

Of course it depends on the individual, but how much cream is it you are talking about? And i would say IT is easier to fast in one go without eating, ThE DEE extra calories of cream is just a distractionReally? Cream in coffee keeps me going for 4 to 5 hours with no hunger at all.
I think it might but to be honest no one really knows at the moment.Jason Fung allows cream - in limited amounts - but not sure whether it would interfere with Autophagy. To date I’ve had a couple of cups of tea with cream on 23/1 fasting days. Wondering whether water only will help reduce my waist.
Good luck @Goonergal hope it goes wellThanks @Roytaylorjasonfunglover @Mbaker and @bulkbiker
All food for thought. I’m giving a water fast a go and will report back. Suspect tonight will be the hardest part as skipping dinner has always proved difficult for me.
I think part of the problem is there’s no way of “knowing” that autophagy is happening.. so while Dr Longo has his theory I’m not so sure he “knows” what works although it seems pretty likely that water fasting contains nothing that should cause it not to occur.I don’t think that a dash of cream in coffee with prevent Autophagy,
Volter Lungo’s 5 day Fasting Mimicing Diet is specifically intended to stimulate Autophagy and he gives people food 3x a day. The promotional article I saw showed a soup, kale crisps and another packet of something. It is all v low calorie, but it is more calories than a herb tea!
So if a person can eat that and reach Autophagy a splash of cream isn’t going to interfere. Although obviously portion size will make a difference.
