Does this break my fast and destroy benefits?

Hey guys, Construction worker here, put on 20kg since starting my own business and wanting to loose it I can easily fast (sort of) but I’m wondering if what I’m doing is screwing up my benefits An example of my routine is I’ll stop eating around 8pm, go to sleep, wake up early, have a sugar free redbull at 6am and my first bit of food between 2-4pm, I drink water in between and chew gum occasionally, is the redbud and gum ruining anything ?

Answer

As I understand it the redbull shouldnt keep weightloss from happening, but it will very likely mess with insuline and autophagy and other benefits.

As I see it, inspired by Dr. Fung, insuline response should ideally be kept minimal during weight loss. This will help the body take “weight” off from fat.

So all in all I would recommend sticking to water and black coffee. After getting used to sparkling water it doesnt really feel like you are missing out on to much.
