Stupid Question, Chapstick..

So I am planning to start a fry fast for 48 hours. I already utilize intermittent fasting with 20/4 and water during the fasting period. Is it bad to use chapstick? Stupid question, but if wetting your lips or swishing water in your mouth ruins the fast, would this also ruin the fast?

Stop Fasting Alone.

Get a private coach and accountability partner for daily check-in's and to help you reach your fasting goals. Any kind of fasting protocol is supported.

Request more information and pricing.

Answer

Nah, because it’s not being digested, therefore not stimulating gastric juices, so you’re still fasting.

Soft dry fast - coming into contact with water, brushing teeth, showering, bathing etc

Hard dry fast - zero water contact

Answer

same with vaseline hahahah but always forgot to ask

if you can, i would suggest that you dont use it because there’s always particles that are in contact with what you swallow and my belief is that it’s counter productive, maybe I’d risk to say that’s even maybe worse than brushing the teeth with water
