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...
I’m on the snake juice but what’s the baking soda for? How much, when and how do you take it?
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?

Has anyone had success with a 16/8 or 18/6 fasting plan while drinking diet soda during your fasting time??
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...

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...

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...
