Tea and breaking your fast

Hi there,

I’ve been experimenting with intermittent fasting (16/8) off and on for the last year. Originally, I was told that tea didn’t break ones fast unless it had milk, sugar, honey, or any other sweetener in it.

Would the following teas break my fast if consumer steeped? (IE nothing in my cup other than tea and water)

Answer

I wouldn’t risk it. It may not trigger insulin but it might, everyone is different. Best way to determine is to test your blood glucose before and after https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/19352508/https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/30005329/https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/2887500/
