Please be careful guys! Xanthan can cause some side effects such as intestinal gas (flatulence) and bloating. People who are exposed to xanthan gum powder might experience flu-like symptoms, nose and throat irritation, and lung problems.
No you are wrong! Xanthum gum is safe for people! It’s gluten free. And you need to check the ingredients properly.��
جزاك الله خير الدنيا والاخرة ممكن يترجم للعربيه حتى يفهم الكثير من الناس وشكرا
I actually bought it as an ingredient and only got to use it a few times. Wondering if I can use it to make homemade coffee creamer
If it changes your gut bacteria I highly doubt it is safe for consumption. When you said “for the most part”I immediately thought no bc in health it’s ether safe or it isn’t. I go back or white when it comes to foods.
who makes/where can I buy the double walled mugs you guys use? They look relatively sturdy. Are they?
I learned the hard way that Xanthan gum was a laxative….oh boy was that fun……………NEVER AGAIN!
This whole time I thought Grant was the founder and owner of Chef Steps.
What is the machine you used to stir the xanthan gum and water?
That store is hella expensive, even if it was in Canadian dollars.
Thanks, I’ve been wanting use this for a while but have been finding conflicting info.
That’s it im growing my own farm in my closet.. I can make ice cream at home
You missed it. Thickening agents made 007 fat. That’s why they have to keep swapping them out.
another crap ingredient, literally bacteria poop ��, profit over health its time we stopped putting up with this crap
Hi! Would like to ask for your suggestion if I want to thicken a juice concentrate. 1% is 1 tsp of Xanthan Gum with 200mL water? Thanks!
Xanthan gum act as a laxative for me unfortunately……I avoid like the plague!
Can I use this as ingredients to car polish as a replacement for synthetic thickener?
dr berg when i consume anything that has xanthan gum i get so bloated and gassy why?
I recieved a bottle of liquid xanthan gum about 15 years ago. It with a toy microscope/ science kit. I didn’t know anything about it other than seeing it in almost every consumable item. I’m here today because I have a rather thin homemade hotsauce and I herd its a good way to thicken it up.
How do we know it’s non GMO? They can label it but should we trust them? It’s so hard to eat anything I’m so annoyed.
Does xanthum gum act differently in hot vs cold liquid? (Like how gravy gets thicker as it cools)
Guar gum is a more natural alternative to Xanthan gum when you need a thickener. If you’re going to use either one make sure and do your research. Some people can’t tolerate them and you really have to get the amounts right as a little goes a long way. The difference between a tsp and a half tsp in a recipe can be the difference between success and failure.
Brewer’s yeast isn’t really MADE through microbial fermentation, it’s the microbe itself! Alcohol is actually the product made through microbial fermentation! Sorry, it said Nerd Alert so my brewing nerd leaped out of me.:D Great video!!
Well, this was informative (and disgusting all at the same time). Think I need to ferret this OUT of my diet due to my severe allergies. Might explain a lot of why foods make me so ill. P.S. Do you have a blog as sometimes it would be great to print this info out?
You have a lot of amazing info!!
Gee, how did humans ever survive before the 60s when this and other forms of CRAP started showing up in our foods? The FDA says “in small amounts” xanthan and all the others, guar, terra, carrageenan etc etc etc are ok. Well in just the past few years I have been finding these in more and more foods that never had it before. And NONE are required to say just how much is in the product. SO how would anyone know what is a “small amount” and when you have gone over it?
Hey, in “small enough amounts” rat poison won’t kill you either. I think I’d rather not test that.
Now I need to learn how to make my own salad dressing since NOT ONE BRAND in the entire supermarket doesn’t contain xanthan gum.
I don’t know if you’ve heard this before, but you sound and speak like Linus from tech tips.
While I appreciate the explanation, I kinda expected to hear its nutritional side as well. Whether is it “better” than regular gluten, the differences, and whatnot
It just took me the first 18 seconds of this video to subscribe to you.
Dr. Berg, I use glucomannan powder for thickening. Soon, I’ll try oat fibre noodles. I would welcome a video addressing more keto additives/ingredients.
I used to buy frozen chicken from aldi til I saw it had xantham gum in the added water hence all the horrible white stuff coming out when it’s cooked..needless to say I don’t use it anymore ��
As a Biochemist now experimenting with cooking and gastronomy, I would travel around the planet, from my country Chile, just to work with you guyz
oh I really wonder that what is the side effect of Xantan gum, Thank you so much!!!!!
Xanthan gum act as a laxative for me unfortunately……I avoid like the plague!
You mentioned that it may contain gluten, but the xanthan gum I found in the store was gluten free. I like to make blue cheese dressing and I add it to thicken it.
Dr.Berg, the next one and I’m sure many want is.
Acid reflex comparing to viruses ans colds.
Detox the kidneys and detox the kidenys. Thank you again!
Can you explain, how xanthan gum is produced from bacteria to our food??
You make me think about the old =3 videos with Ray William Johnson just a smarter version lol
Amazing video thanks. I never knew this existed but I am glad it dose. I love creamy foods.
nick, a week or two ago I was flipping thru channels and I saw you on a educational TV show with a girl
This is a culprit for migraine headaches. I just threw my tapatio out which I am addicted to because I can’t take the headaches anymore
Glad I know all about xanthum gum now! So glad it only took a minute and a half
Hey doc what if you were exposed to asbestos? Would keto and fasting help for example not cause deadly cancer down the line decades later
I learned the hard way that Xanthan gum was a laxative….oh boy was that fun……………NEVER AGAIN!
Follow your heart, Tapatio, and Braggs Ginger and sesame sauce ��
In the US, we tend to measure by volume, not weight. Can you tell us the ratio of, for example, X mL of salad dressing to X mL of xanthum gum?
Xanthan gum act as a laxative for me unfortunately……I avoid like the plague!
At the end you show a drink,im looking into making that whipped coffee but with thai tea since i do not drink coffee… ill do some more research but will this work?
who’s here searching this weird things after billie eilish when the party’s over video? lmao
I’d been pronouncing xanthan like one would say San Fran…. woops!
Guar Bean: “I’m non-GMO!”
Food Scientist: “Hold my naturally-carbonated, grain-based, beverage.”
Could you please tell me what blender do you use here? Looks like it helps to avoid extra air bubbles, I need one like this!
It’s not gross, if you eat fermented foods like yogurt you’re also eating good bacteria. Bacteria are present in most foods.
Xanthan gum act as a laxative for me unfortunately……I avoid like the plague!

Hi, Nick!
Great info!
What is the recommended dose of xanthan gum to have each day?
I just subscribed to your channel.
Greetings from Illinois!:)
Xanthan gum act as a laxative for me unfortunately……I avoid like the plague!
Xanthomonas campestris is a bacteria that grows on certain plants, how appetizing, glad I’m forsaking Gluten for that…..NOT!
Thanks for the information, very timely. Do you use these products and do you have recipes using them?
Why are gums so difficult to digest? In my experience, what my body cannot digest, makes me retain water and gain 5 lbs overnight. This negates all effort in eating said salad.
Whats the non glutee free alternative to this. ie what is the traditional thickening agent i can use in home cooking
Xanthan gum act as a laxative for me unfortunately……I avoid like the plague!
Is it possible to make up a batch of this and keep it in the fridge until you need it? If so how long would it last?
I used it with cold water and nothing happened, do I have to use it with hot/warm water or do i need to heated it up after mixing to get the liquid to thicken?
The property you are describing is viscosity, not thixotropy. A substance is called thixotropic when it is solid at rest and becomes liquid when exposed to shear. In other words a thixotropic substance is thick at rest and gets thinner as it is being disturbed.
cool show, you did it so well, i have seen this on some items and kept wondering, what it was, it sounded dangerous and weird… and it seems to be, the big boy industries could care less about us and all eat xanthan free, gmo and all the other crab like msg, all free from that but we can be the suckers, i say use olive oil, a lemon, sea salt and grounded pepper as your dressing, believe me, it gets getting used to and you stop eating that jogurt dressing that fat girls always bring with to lunch, they never lose weight, why?
Guard gum makes me sick. I use xanthan gum in smaller amounts than suggested because I’m not fond of washing the slimy bowl I’ve mixed it in.
So Xanthum gum is �� from bacteria that is used to thicken your food.
If Xanthan gum has an impact on our bacteria, do you think it’ll change how food will be digested in future generations?
I thought corn starch was used! this is the first time i heard of this the most important thing wasn’t said what does it taste like and can you use this instead of corn starch?
Dr. Berg thank you for all the information you provide. I just wish allopathic doctors knew as much because they would be a lot more helpful to their patients. Moving on. For the past 3 years soy, soy lecithin and xanthan gum when consumed have been making my eyes itch insanely and swell a bit. Now that you point out that xanthan gum can come from soy, that is a dot connected for me. For those of us that are allergic or intolerant to soy products, this world is becoming a nightmare trying to avoid it. Food was just fine before they started putting it in literally everything. I wish soy would be banned. It might have a lot of uses but it also comes with undesirable side effects. I stick to a whole foods diet for the most part at home but it’s a real problem when eating away from home.
hi, my question was is it fine if I use xanthan gum in the sauces without cooking the sauces and then freeze the sauces and use it in the one year shelf life. will this be any food safety issue. please let me know.thanks,
What was that last latte looking drink? That’s clever if it is what it looks like…
Good to see I’m not the only one who was fed up with the cord on my Bamix:-D
It’s sheer thinning, not thixotropic. Cornstarch and tapioca slurries are thixotropic or ‘non newtonian’ as they thicken under sheer force. Not trying to out nerd you, but that’s just the wrong word to describe its behaviour.
Thank you for breaking this down! There are a lot of “Keto” products on the market right now (bars, cookies, sweerve cakes, products by lankto etc) and they use ingredients that some of us never heard of.
I appreciate you breaking down these ingredients! ♥️
Hi Chris Young and Chefsteps!
I am using Xantham gum for body wash but when I mix the gum it has tons of air bubbles. is there a way to have that clear look and feel the way you get from regularly sold soaps and washes?
Sooooo,is it safe? because I heard it wasn’t due 2 the bacteria (bad) that it produces in the digestive system
Thanks Dr. Could you do an episode on Arabic (Sudanese) gum? My pharmacist gave it to me as a suplement and now I’m wondering if it can replace Psylium Husk in baking.
My mife is having troubles controlling her sugar levels and fasting. She will listen to nothing i have to say, and quite frankly i dont know how she is supposed to keep her sugar around 100 and not take insulin or eat. Sometimes it drops and she has to eat, breaking the fast, and sometimes she fasts and it just climbs even if she doesnt eat. Seems like a wierd catch 22 and we would love a little advise. She purchased the wheat grass formula and the yeast but it is yet to arrive.
Thanks
Not necessarily a mark against it, but if you have allergies to Soy, Xanathan gum may trigger them.
gums are gross. why would you put it in your body? it is the waste of a bacteria grown in corn syrup. the texture of xanthan is pasty. it is a filler and a lubricant in the oil industry
Pls can I get some of xanthan for my production of pomade am in Ghana
I just made some amazing juniper and lavender incense using this as a binder, a little bit goes a long way. This is going to bring back more hand rolled incense! Will try in my next bread and pizza recipes to replace yeast as well. Yeast is tacky, hard to clean and back up your works.
Hi Nick, thanks for the awesome video.
I have suffered from Xanthan gum,guar gum and all the other gums, side affects for years. I get extreme migraines within 5 min of eating this toxic poison.. My migraines last for 3 days it’s like my body was poisoned. I puke non stop and need to be in a dark room where there is no light. I’m sure I’m not the only person that is suffering with this horrible thickening crap.
What model of scale are you using in that video? Would it be possible to have you do a video on the various measurement equipment you are all using in the ChefSteps kitchen?
how, with two cameras and cut aways, does this video have jump cuts?
While I appreciate the explanation, I kinda expected to hear its nutritional side as well. Whether is it “better” than regular gluten, the differences, and whatnot
Nice info, I tried to use xanthan gum but a lot of air bubbles got trapped while mixing it with hand blender. I also tried hand mixer as well but the same result. Please let me know how to mix it without the air getting trapped inside?
Dr Berg, you always point to the screen telling us about another referenced video, but there is nothing there. I also do not find the referenced video in your description.
Another fun fact infants and children I think under the age of one or two shouldn’t have xanthan gum as some Studies have shown xanthan gum to be a cause of colon cancer or colon degradation in infants
We use it in old age homes here in canada to feed residents and patients with dysphasia. We thicken water, juice, milk with it.
So, it thins out to pour, but once immobile resume its thicker consistency.
Was this stuff MADE for sauces??? That seems too good to be true.
If i want to go for surgery hair transplant then how many before i should take supplements?
basically food companys are cutting food like escebar cuts coke
can you explain what is erythitol please i want to know what is that
I consume a lot of Coconut milk. I purchase Only natural. There are a lot of Coconut Milk products containing Gar Gum, which I won’t buy. My thinking is, if they need to Thicken the coconut milk, it is an inferior product… I tend to treat all foods containing thickeners in the same light… I ask myself, if the basic product requires thickening and what thickening is accomplishing… Is it merely cosmetic? Great little video:-)
My biggest question is… Can you use it to make gumbo for people who are gluten-free? My friend cannot have gluten. I would highly appreciate it if you guys could respond or experiment this.
still waiting for all those fried goodies you’ve been posting on instagram. Smh…….
How does this compare with carrageenan, another thickener which may be carcarcinogenic and may cause gastrointestinal symptoms?
funny…i was staring at a bottle of sriracha wondering the same thing lol
I just came across your video while investigating uses for xanthan gum in some of my favorite vegan recipes. I also discovered that some xanthan gum is derived from eggs. So I’ll check the manufacturer before I try it. Hello vegan gravy! LOL, thanks for sharing ��
I learned the hard way that Xanthan gum was a laxative….oh boy was that fun……………NEVER AGAIN!
Hey Ankur… most of the proteins companies are using xanthom gum in whey…. are there any side effects? Any protein u know which is free from all this gum?
Wow, that’s legit explanation, learned something new today, haha.
Love it
Dr Berg, I really appreciate the fact that you are carrying on with regular videos and refusing to spread FEAR by overindulging in Corona-based information ��������
can you kindly tell me the cheapest whey isolate, the good one I mean since u HV tried so many brands, think u…tried nutrimed not good
I have been gluten free for 16 years now. Most people had never heard of it back then. Gluten free options were rare. At least where I lived. You had to make everything yourself. Low carb 9 years.
I have cooked with both those ingredients. You have to mix them in with another powder ingredient to stop clumping. Depending on the recipe, that is not always possible or you are adding unwanted carbs. I hated cooking with both.
There is a powder from the konica root called glucomannan. Even when making gravy, I just have to sprinkle it on hot broth drippings and wisk in. No large clumps. I have also used it when my mayo hasn’t thickened quite enough. If I need thickening, it’s my go to.
I didn’t know they were edible ��I m using them in making body lotions and hair care products ��Thank you for the information Dr Éric Berg ��❤️
@ericberg What if I have allergic reactions to beans and soy.. can I use Acacia Gum Arabic to substitute these gums on keto diet???
Hi chef steps I want to help me for make Apple pie because I try lot of recipts but no success I don’t know why thank you
Xanthan Gum and Guar Gum are not healthy additives. They can gastrointestinal stress and bloating. No to this one.
After returning from the restroom, I am certain I have recently consumed xanthan gum
Would love to see an episode for other thickeners as well. One on agar, ultratex, gellan. Would be great! Thanks guys
Ahh the tricks people play in their journey towards steeling others peoples money. This is simply an extremely cheap to make (highly processed and synthetic) additive that has been surrounded by trendy “gluten free” marketing hype. It’s not food and people that really care about the quality of the food they eat and their own health should stay way from this sort of garbage.
An interesting video would be what effects that guar and xanthan gum have on the gut-microbiome and inflammation.
Great Vid… Thickners make products seem like your getting more.
I guess Zanthan gum is used alot being its a cheaper source. Fruit pectin is good because its a great absorber for cholesterol but isnt used much.
please could anyone give me a way to communicate with the doctor
cool we got a dr berg vid. now go wash your hands. and devices
Hey dr berg can keto diet cure autism and dementia and how long approx. In time can you do a video on it please man! Please thanks
And if it raises your heart beat until you have a stroke……!
This was very interesting! Can you do more like these on the food additives that are used on ChefSteps? Thanks for the great videos/tips…
I cannot see a doctor with coronos paranoia going on
I may have diabetes insipitius because it is not diabetes -can you talk about diabetes insipitus and
can diabetes insiptitus be cured naturally if it that. thank you.
I just want to educate myself on both adrenal vatigue, hypothyroidis, and diates insipitus
because one of the main symptom is excessive thirsst and frequent uriniation and unusual weight gain but I do not have diabetes.
and they claim the thyroid is fine in the test. So it may be diabtes insipituds. Thank you.
Salaam Dr I’m very delighted to know your channel and I just want to tell you that our prophet Muhammad recommended us to fast very Monday and Thursday and to fast 3days when the moon is completely seen it certainly has a scientific explanation and it is also something beneficial for us because our prophet wanted and wished always the best for us follower from algeria
Ever take a small pile of xanthan gum and just wet it in your hand? I did! It was a waste of time. My hand got slimy and stuck. Never again
Can you talk about kombucha? I just recently bought some from the grocery store by accident. I though it was just a nice natural Gingerale but readying closer after I bought it, it said gingerade. Than I read more on the bottle and saw it contain alcohol ��, yeast and bacteria.. I was like… What the heck am I drinking!?? Read reviews on influenster but… idk �� some people love it some don’t… and google just scared the hell out of me. Saying if contaminated it can cause yeast infection really bad headache and death!! But, some reviews said it was so healthy.. So please if you have the time I would like to know more about this. Thank you so much! ��
So Glad I found your site. I see Xanthan Gum never knew what it was.. Thnaks Now i know and knowing is half the battle.
+Nick Uhas i see its in alot of fat foods. my? is, if you pooh more wouldnt make you loose fat and if thats the case good for those who wish to loose some, for small poeple who cant gain mass that would be bad? And if not well just messing with you digestive system cant be good it is proven tha poeple who take to much laxatives on a daily basis tend to get many different digestive deseases… please comment
Thanks, this topic can help through a lot of confusion because of the gum in there names. Thank you for clearing this up.
hi doctor Soaking potatoes and extracting starch reduces carp.thx
Well-explained. Thank you. I saw it in a recipe for rice noodles. Forget it. I’ll just go to an Asian market and buy those noodles.
Is xanthan gum one of fuctional food? That so interesting me
I use glucomannan to thicken the jus from my sous vide meats and pour it back on them as a gravy.
Hi Dr. Berg I was wondering these days if the Air Frier is healthy or not as a method of cooking? It reminded me of microwave, but I don’t know…. Could you do a video on it to clear out this? Thank you so much for your wonderful work, wish you the best for you and your family ❤️
Change the bacteria in your gut and change how foods are digested that is the most important part of the video and you should have focused on that. USDA and FDA are two of the most corrupt orgnizations on the planet. Xanthum Gum is dangerous there is a reason these corporations are adding Xanthum gum, gellan gum and other gums to food products and it is to disrupt your system. You are better off avoiding these man made products that are simply used to increase there profits by keeping the food product looking seemingly safe to eat. Things are supposed to go bad that is how we know it is not good to consume. These companies are extending the life of these products so they may sit on the shelves for months and years without going bad regardless of the affect on your health. Stop eating this garbage.
usually this ingredient add 0.5 1% for bread keto/strawberry jam/almond milk
Could you please talk about what you should eat while on dialysis. Thank you.
Dr Berg,Type 1 Diabetic here. First off THANK YOU! I am Considered LADA because I have antibodies but my pancreas is still producing very little amount of insulin. Using 10units of long lasting a night. Some days I don’t have to take that and it will be normal, but I choose not to do that. IF and Keto for past two years. A1C 5.4-5.6. Been on long lasting insulin for 9 years. My first year of diagnosis at 15 years old, I used short acting but haven’t since then. No nerve issues or neuropathy. Weird situation. Don’t have answers. But hopefully this lifestyle lasts for years to come.
I’m looking for a better alternative to Carrigan so I found a protein powder that doesn’t have Carrigan and it only has xanthan gum
Plz DR, could you talk about eating seeds to improve our immunity and which seeds are the most important to consume
Can Dr Eric Berg make a video about foods or other things that effects brain. The reasons why some are smarter than some people and some who are exceptional intellectually. Neuroscientists claim people who have success like Steve Jobs and James Cameron has exceptional intelligence. Can you tell us thr scientific reason behind it.
Right. Approximately 90% of all commercially-sold corn (including corn
products) in the US, are GMO poison. The only thing it’s good for is
car fuel. It’s NOT a viable food source. If we all band together and stop
buying GMO poisons, they will disappear from our supermarket shelves,,,
and our food supply!
Thanks dr I always wondered about these two. People avoid carageenan and I’ve heard about glucomannan. Those would be interesting too.
Dr Berg Thank you a billion times for the information you give us! ����������
I saw it yesterday and I wondering myself if I can took it on the keto diet and you post it today ��
Xanthan Gum is in many cheap packaged food now, you would be surprised… and it KILLS DOGS. Beware of Xantham Gum.. even cakes and stuff people give dogs as a “treat” now has it in small doses for preservative reasons mostly to keep things together for months in the package
Xanathum gum is poison, Gellan gum is poison don’t eat it. It disrupts your whole digestive track. This is another example of how the corrupt FDA and USDA are hurting people with their focus on making money for themselves. Yes people who are employed with USDA and FDA have ownership in these companies. Whole food plant based diet is best.
Haha. Yeah. I used it in a pudding and…let’s just say I got glue. Delicious glue. But glue. Noobs should learn how it works before attempting to use it.
CAMP-PESSS-TREE
XANTHOMONA CAMPESTRI is a MUSHROOM that grows at the forest. Don’t worry, we’re not perfect either….����������������������
I like Xanthan Gum because it is gluten free. My daughter has celiac and I uses it a lot in some of my recipes for her. TFS Dr. Berg! ❤️
How can we know about GMO stuff in the products?
������������������������
Well look at that. Nice to have choices and nice to know how to choose. ��
I’ve been following your Keto advice by watching your videos and true have learned a lot. But I think it irresponsible to allow anyone to do Keto or extended fasting without a doctor’s supervision which i didn’t have. I just got discharged from the hospital after being diagnosed with 5 different illness and spent hundreds of dollars. I have elevated keto, protein, epithelial among other deposit in my urine. I think you should be more responsible about your keto and long term fasting period so no one goes through what I just went through. I almost died.
Thank you doctor for your fantastic wonderful videos ��
doctor
Excuse me I would like to ask you question, I have pain in my back in the middle part not in the core of my backbone but its goes to the right side under my shoulder I feel this pain since one year ago I feel the pain when I bend over, I start to feel this pain after a football game my body was worm and after that I feel a cold air hit my back, I thought that the pain will go away by itself but it’s still there and nowadays I toke a pain killer like voltaren but it’s not help.

thank you Dr.berg
dose flax seeds have side effect
how much i can consume
these thickeners can cause health problems especially to children, they most likely contain gmo as they are mass produced by huge companies that work with corrupt governments who want you sick to create work for hospitals and doctors.
Dr Berg, whats your attitude to MANUKA HONEY? is it acceptable during KETO? is it truly good for the gut / stomach, helpful for ulcer. please reply if we can enjoy a spoon or two )
Hey Dr. Berg! Could you please do a video also on Sunflower and Sot lecithin? These are in many things like coconut milk, Lily’s chocolates etc. THANK YOU.
And i always thought Xantan gum was some unnatural additive. Glad i watched this.
I was hoping you would tell us if it’s vegan or not,
to be on the safe side I would say it probably isn’t but I am not really sure.
I was ready to throw my Coconut milk away before he mentioned guar gum was ok lol
I use glucomannan powder from the konjac root almost zero carbs and all fiber. Very keto friendly and non GMO.
I had a bag of xanthum gum in my hand and couldn’t remember why it was good and why I thought I needed it. I put it back. Oh well.
I love that you are SOOO healthy that YOU are the standard to acheive… and although some of my beloved keto channels choose to be more lazy or dirty, you are still a major source for accuracy. Thank you for what you do… ��
Dr Berg PLEASE HELP!!! I’m seeing in community keto sites everywhere that CORTISOL is rising and people are breaking their way of eating!! All these people are putting themselves in harms way in regards to the virus as diabetes and heart disease appears to be key. Please do some videos on how to reduce cortisol… Relaxation, extra fat… You have research experience. The whole point of us all getting healthy is to live a better lifr�� common people����
So I have Been doing 16:8 IF for about 1 month now. I have lost about 8lbs on the scale. My clothes seem looser. I fast during the week and eat normally on the weekend, (Sat, Sunday). I haven’t cut out Carbs or sugars but have tried to reduce them. My Question is: By eating regularly for two days (Sat, Sunday) am I drastically hurting my weight loss effects of IF? Am I wasting my time? Just trying to understand if it’s OK to do this or should I be more strict with my IF? I always do 16:8 when 5 days a week. Sometimes pushing the 17 to 18 hour mark. I would appreciate anyone’s opinion on this as I am new ti IF, but loving it and not finding it difficult. Thanks.
I use guar gum for making gravy out of fat/meat juices left on pan after frying! It is really efficient to use. I use no more than half teaspoon or teaspoon per pan. 300g tin I buy lasts me forever. The key is to dissolve it in little bit of oil or any other fat because it pulls together water but not fat! Then just the solution pour into anything you want to make thicker and stir fast!
