I just drank electrolytes for the first time well fasting…

And I feel like I’ve cheated for some reason!! Lol. I have so much energy and feel like I just ate food, this is great! But I am wondering it said it was sugar free but 10 cals. I’m kinda confused how this doesn’t break a fast. Thanks!

Your body has a threshold before the metabolism “wakes up”. There is much debate as to what that threshold actually is from some who claim it is as little as one (1) calorie to others who claim it can be as high as 50. A number I see thrown around a lot is seven (7) but AFAIK there is no scientific basis for that number. Also, this number is likely to vary by individual.

The only sure way to know is to test your keatones with a meter and see if it knocks you out of your fast or not. I wouldn’t trust any claim on a package.
