Is artificial sweetener allowed in the fasting window?

Say I was to have a tea during my fasting window. Is it okay to put artificial sweetener such as Sugar Twin or Stevia in it?

As well, what is the rule with 0 calorie diet drinks like Coke Zero or Gatorade Zero?

I keep getting conflicting answers when I look it up :( thank you in advance!

It’s not too hard to wean yourself off sweetener in tea, especially if you steep it for the time recommended (3-5 mins usually). I started using half a packet, then started steeping properly, and now I don’t use any sweetener.

Answer

It honestly varies per person. If it doesn’t make your hunger cravings go through the rough than go for it. Just don’t overdue it just because it’s a zero calorie sweetener lol. I use the bag powdered sweetener in my warm tea that instantly dissolves, but a lot of it isn’t necessary (drinking raspberry tonight!) I flat out avoid diet sodas and zero calorie sports drinks. Every other day as a treat shouldn’t hurt though, but again it’s still soda anyway you look at it. Do what works best for YOU :)
