0 kcal while fasting?

Hey, I have a question: I’ve been doing the 8-16 fasting, and I wanted to know, if you really have to consume 0 kcal while fasting? because I’m not struggling with being hungry, I’m struggling with having no taste in my mouth. But I now read, that even 1 cup of unsweetened peppermint tea has like 2 kcal, and 1 piece of gum has like 8 kcal. So the question is, for the best result losing-weight-wise, do you really have to consume 100% 0 kcal only while fasting? thanks for your help!

Answer

You can have calories during a fast. Heck coffee even has a couple.

To each their own but for me I am just trying to give my GI system a break. Let my liver rest and get my body burning fat rather than sugar and carbs from my food.

Like I said your mileage may vary but that’s how I roll. It’s more about health than a “diet plan”
