what are your thoughts?
will dissolving a caffeine pill under tongue during short (36-48h) fast break your fast.
i need an energy kick on early am to get me going but i also want to do 1-2 24-48hr dry fasts every week. so i was thinking to keep the pill under tongue until it dissolves and then in 15 min spit the whatever is there out. i assume by that time the caffeine is percolated into bloodstream but nothing goes to the stomach. plus some sources say caffeine is supportive for autophagy. doing dry fasts for mental health reasons. thank you for all your input.
I think any of these options break a real dryfast. If you are just trying to lose weight then maybe doesn’t matter but intgesting anything will set off chemical reactions that will stop some of the benefits of dryfasting.
But do what you need to do. Better to fast this way than not fast at all
I swallow them dry or I chew caffeine gum. The gum has L-theanine and some b vitamins. Sugar free.
I also micro dose modafinil with the caffeine - I take half a tablet of caffeine. I have a brain intensive job and love fasting, but I have to be able to focus.
