How screwed am I?

So today I posted about a herbal drink that I wanted to drink for my throat. I later on slept and wokeup and thought of drinking it a while back since everyone said to go ahead. So i’m almost 25 hours into my 48 hour fast and I checked the nutritional value of it and saw that it has 0.13g of sugars. :( How screwed up is my fast now? Should I just eat or can I still continue fasting?

Answer

0% screwed. Take a breath, think through what you’re asking about. It’s not a big deal. Just continue fasting.

Fasting isn’t a one-time thing. Some fasts will be better/more effective than others. If you’re doing it to lose weight, and you just continue on for your normal fast, you’re still going to have a great fast.

I fasted for a couple of years regularly and had a splash of cream in my coffee every morning. Guess what? Still lost 100 pounds.

You’ll be fine. Take it easy, be kinder to yourself.

Answer

I’m not sure this is sarcasm/meta or a real post at this point. Are you really considering that your fast is broken because of a teenth of a gram of sugar?

You had 0.13g of sugar. For reference, you basically had less than 0.6% of a snicker bars. Or 0.7% of an apple, or one third of a single grape. Would you consider your fast broken if you accidentely swallowed a small piece of grape stuck beteen your teeth?
