I’m on the snake juice but what’s the baking soda for? How much, when and how do you take it?
Sorry if this is asked a lot but I’ve read through questions and the side bar and I can’t find the answer. I’m in the UK and I can’t find baking soda. I’ve look online and I’ve found conflicting articles...
Cole Robinson suggest maxing baking soda (sodium bicarbonate) when having the apple cider vinegar during the fast. This is to neutralize the ACV so it doesn’t damage our teeth. Does neutralizing the ACV compromise it’s properties? I notice he didn’t...
I have some pretty bad gut issues and I have read it could help. I know it’s popular among fasters, but why?
Hello. I am planning on 2 rolling dry fasts of one week each, with refeeding for a day in the middle. Would it be necessary to supplement with baking soda before starting the fasts? If yes, then how much? Also, what...
I want to try snake juice for electrolyte supplementation because baking soda neutralizes part of the awful taste. However, I’m not fasting. Can anyone tell me the implications of drinking sodium bicarbonate while eating regularly?
I just can't do the baking soda so I have been mixing up one teaspoon of pink salt and one teaspoon of potassium in 2L and then supplementing magnesium by capsules. I drink the entire 2 liters daily. Not active...
Hello everyone! I’m on my 4th day of a 7 day dry fasting and since yesterday I have been feeling a strong lower back pain, which might have to do with my kidneys since I had UTIs in the past....
Some people seem to recommend breaking longer fasts by using a combination of baking soda and water. Can anyone explain to me how that's potentially beneficial and how it's supposed to support the kidneys? I was wondering, because none of...
Hey so I started a dry fast with a water fast at first, and then after 10 hours I took my last sip of water and transitioned over to a dry fast. My question is, I've done 1 day dry...

Started OMAD yesterday. Wondering if 0 calorie sodas and sweeteners are okay to drink during intermittent fasting?
I'm 75 hours into 30 days fasting, and I saw in other post that electrolytes are easier to drink with sparkling water than just normal water. So, sparkling water is soda?

what nutrients are lost in eating the potato without skin? is it a nutritional "mistake" to peel off the skin if additional fiber intake isn't needed?
They all say 0 kals on the packages... Although some say "0 calories - 2.5 servings" - isn't this an indication there definitely is a low amount of calories in them? Are these ruining the autophagy benefits of my 60 hour...
Is it true that diet soda/ diet pop may cause headaches& mood swings? 🧐 I wonder if it’s because of high caffeine content or maybe the sweeteners (aspartame) are the victim. Does anyone know more informations about it? 🤔
Fasting is a deeply personal experience, but I am interested in hearing your views. Generally speaking, I would say yes. I am mainly concerned about interrupting autophagy or spiking an insulin response. Although, when I fast for weight loss, I feel...

I am struggling to give up soda. I try to only have two meals a day and have found myself justifying the soda since I drink it with my meal and not outside meal times. I want to stop drinking...
For weight loss, I understand because you’re consuming 0 calories from them. But for autophagy, aren’t you still making your stomach work from digesting and thus your body is inhibited in restoring cells?
From what I understand probiotics can be good for gut health, especially when consumed through fermented foods like kimchi or fermented veggies. Pre-biotics from my understanding are the fiber that probiotics eat ex. onions, jicama etc. I don’t get how these...

I came across a [study](https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8468304/) on anthocyanins in plants like berries, purple carrots, red cabbage, etc. that covered their thermal stability in the cooking process. There was a surprising variation in numbers (table 3) and so I’m wondering how the...
