Autophagy

I am 24 hours into my 72 hour fast and I just added a pinch of Morton iodized salt into my water and then I realized it has dextrose. Will this break my fast? Goal is to reach autophagy. I’m worried I messed up. I read the sticky that said dextrose is in most salts, but I’m specifically aiming for autophagy and worried that little bit of dextrose will prevent reaching that.

Answer

no, i tend to cheat a lot with putting honey in my tea and iv noticed no real change in time for ketosis to start with or without a teaspoon of honey a day, so I’m guessing you might be slowing your autophagy down my minutes, possibly hours, but an insignificant fraction of the total fast if it even has an effect.
