Does adding lemon or lime juice to water count as breaking a fast?

I’ve always been tempted to add freshly squeezed lemon juice to my hot water in the morning, but I’m afraid that doing that would break my fast so I usually save my hot lemon water for my first meal.

Any thoughts?

Answer

No. There is no sugar and no insulin response so it doesn’t break your fast.
