We have two very different metabolisms right here.Īnother inconclusive result, but compared to black coffee, I would not want to put it in my coffee. So this one is going to depend on metabolisms. You had a better glucose response from coffee alone. However, when we compare our results from black coffee with stevia to our results from black coffee by itself, I had a better ketone response with black coffee alone.
So again, if you just look at this data, it does not seem to have done too much, right? My blood glucose dropped 29 points with only black coffee and nothing else over a two-hour period. So, that is kind of a thing, but it is especially interesting when you look at black coffee’s effect on my glucose. However, if we compare that to my findings with just black coffee, the black coffee did not do anything to my ketones. They were kind of major for me, but not major in the long run. Overall, the results of our stevia test were not major numbers. My glucose started at 94 mg/dL, it went up a little bit to 99 mg/dL at 30 minutes, it went down a little bit to 89 mg/dL at 60 minutes, and then at the 120 mark I was at 93 mg/dL.Īlmost the same glucose as I started with.Īgain, I did not seem to have a big glucose change with this, but it did drop me out of ketosis. I’m rarely in ketosis first thing in the morning (which may be related to the Dawn Effect)Īt 30 minutes I was at 0.3 mmol/L, then I went to 0.4 mmol/L at 60 minutes, and then I went back to 0.3 mmol/L at 120 minutes. So for stevia, my ketones started at 0.6 mmol/L, which I was really happy about! Let’s look at what your results showed for stevia. It may have blunted my ability to produce ketones, but who knows. So that means that the stevia kept your ketones from going up? However, my ketones with just black coffee went from 1.2 mmol/L up to 2.1 mmol/L. It started at 74 mg/dL and ended at 74 mg/dL. When we did that, my glucose pretty much remained the same. We had earlier tested my glucose and ketones with just black coffee alone with nothing mixed into it Right, so you would think that stevia did not have any effect on me, and that would be one interpretation until you compare it to my black coffee results. So she stayed almost exactly the same from the zero minute mark to the 120-minute mark. She started at 84 mg/dL, went to 89 mg/dL at 30 minutes, and back to 82 mg/dL at 60 minutes, and finally 85 mg/dL at 120 minutes. She began at 1.2 mmol/L, went up a little bit to 1.4 mmol/L at the 30 minutes, stayed there at the 60 minutes, and then back to 1.2 mmol/L at 120 minutes. Okay, and here are our results: Becky’s Ketone Results: Steviaīecky’s ketones were virtually unchanged. Right, so we put 3/8 of a teaspoon in our coffee because on the package that is what it says is the equivalent of one tablespoon of sugar, which we tested in an earlier video. If we put STEVIA in our coffee, it will not knock us out of ketosis or spike our blood glucose.Īlso, this is pure stevia. Testing Sweeteners In Coffee and Intermittent Fasting: #1 Stevia So here is the bad news: For all of you people who use sweeteners, you might not be happy with us after these videos. Right, and we are also doing a 16-8 intermittent fast with no exercise and no supplementation. We tested our blood at 30 minutes, 60 minutes, and 120 minutes. So, we got up bright and early in the morning, pricked our fingers to test our baseline blood glucose and ketones, then put a sweetener into our coffee and drank that down. The materials we used were a precision Xtra blood ketone and glucose monitor. Testing Sweeteners In Coffee and Intermittent Fasting: Methods & Materials
So, we are in round three of our testing, and we followed the same scientific method that we did when testing the fats.
“Are sweeteners in my coffee going to affect my ketones, my glucose, and my intermittent fasting.” we got from, it seemed like every other person, was: That seemed to be good with everybody and it answered a lot of questions, except for one question we kept receiving. They may surprise you… Why Are We Testing Sweeteners in Coffee?Ī month or so ago we tested adding fats to our coffee as well as a few different things. We spent 4 days testing our blood glucose and ketones to determine if non-calorie sweeteners would break our intermittent fast.
