Having a very sleepy morning. Are there any forms of energy drink that won’t break my fast?
You’ll see people “clean fast” and “dirty fast” where a clean fast is only unsweetened tea and black coffee and water and a dirty fast allows for 0 calorie drinks. That’s because anything labeled 0 calories per serving isn’t actually 0. FDA regs, at least in the US, allow anything 5 calories or less to be labeled 0.
I drink only water, black coffee, and tea during my fasting period, but I find that energy drinks, even zero calorie ones with sucralose, during the meal window really slows down weight loss for me. However I have been drinking a zero calorie one with lunch that has stevia and yerba mate, with good results so far. When I hit the inevitable plateau I’ll probably jettison that one as well.
