I am asking out of two reasons: 1. I do not trust there is such a thing as zero-calorie drink 2. Artificial flavour in zero-calorie energy drink may break fasting

I’m wondering how zero cal drinks affect intermittent fasting, it makes it significantly easier for me to not snack trough the day and I’m wondering if it messes anything up.
Hi I'm doing a 16:8 fast and I'm wondering if the zero cal caramel creamers and flavours are ok to fast on as they have virtually no calories and are basically just sweeteners does it break autophagy?
Sprite Zero, Coke Zero...all those "zero calorie" drinks, do they break a fast? I don't notice a difference but some people swear it'll break your fast.
Assuming I'm willing to give up on maximizing autophagy, can I drink Gatorade zero for electrolytes and to help get me through the fast. I know they don't have the necessary electrolytes I need but it's better than salty water....
As title says, it's really disappointing because I have a few months worth of data on it but that info is now locked behind a pay wall. Any other apps that work similarly? I really like the UI and usability...
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...
With zero proof alcohols becoming more popular as of late, I couldn’t find much info on this. Would a zero proof/zero calorie mocktail break a fast or trigger an insulin response in any way? Let’s say that I’m being very picky...
Seen the question asked many times if Coke Zero or similar drinks are okay to drink *during* a fast but was wondering if it’s okay to drink *after* breaking your fast and during your eating window. I’m doing rolling 72...
So I'm fasting for weight loss and doing an extended fast. I was wondering though. How much would the weight loss be affected if I had around 100 calories worth of zero carb/sugar creamer in my coffee? For reference it's...

I'm wandering if drinks like "zero calories" energy drinks, sodas, etc are gonna break my fast or not. Any suggestions, anyone?
TL;Dr at bottom I'm currently 55 pounds overweight. Goal is to be ripped and get healthier. I have done 4 days dry fast but wasn't working at the time. Was really low on energy. Same with 10 days water only fast....
I have a question. I'm on 16:8 and it's going fine, but the only thing I'm battling with, is having no taste in my mouth. So I drink 1-2 glasses of zero drinks (ice tea zero, fanta zero mostly) daily...
I subscribed to Plus and am now finding the data in this app is all over the place. It's slotting today's (or yesterday night's) fast as hours for this past Tuesday. If I enter calories for yesterday, they also show...
Also is it a good idea to chew gum or zero calorie mints or candies?
Should one Water 💧 Fast before starting a Prolonged Dry Fast.
Did Angus Barbieri's 382 day fast involve any calories?[https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2495396/pdf/postmedj00315-0056.pdf](https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2495396/pdf/postmedj00315-0056.pdf) For some reason the **"absolute fast"** in the following weight loss program [https://www.thepermanentejournal.org/issues/pdf-archives/132-obesity-problem-solution-or-both.html](https://www.thepermanentejournal.org/issues/pdf-archives/132-obesity-problem-solution-or-both.html) still involved 500 calories per day (using "Optifast 70" five times per day). The first link makes...
I've been using Zero, and I know not to give too much credence to the zones it gives, as they are guidelines and suggestions. Without actually measuring blood glucose I would be hard pressed to be accurate. Currently doing 18:6 intermittent...
I know there's no calories, but should I restart, since I know its not something people generally have whilst fasting.
I know this question has probably been asked before, but will it stop me from losing weight on a 5-day fast?
So, I'm currently on an extended fast, and the one thing I've realised I'm not effectively supplementing is phosphorus. Coke zero has a crap tonne of phosphoric acid in it, which is a highly absorbable form of phosphorus. As such,...
I’m in the military and would like to lose roughly 20-30lbs. I work out every morning (mon-fri) and sometimes when I get off work I’ll go to the gym for weights. If I drink a energy drink it’s a monster...
I've just finished a 7 day water fast where I drank about a liter of water per day, every other day I'd mix salt into it. I felt fine, didn't have any issues and think I'd be able to do...
they're both 0 cal but have 200 mg sodium each and i like to have at least 500 mg sodium daily. is this okay?? im fasting for health and weight loss would this affect weight loss and would it affect my...
Hi, I'm 70 hours into what should be a 120-hour fast. I just gave in tonight and had slightly more than 1 L of coke zero. I then did a bit of research and some sources say that it does break the...
I've been doing a 60hr and 36hr fast each week and am feeling like I can extend to 2x60hrs. Been doing this for 6 months. On my days off I eat what I want. I don't seem to have any issues...
How about zero sugar energy drinks? As long as they have no sugar in it, fasting is not broken by drinking them?
These are very good and sweetened with stevia ... Will it break my fast ? https://imgur.com/gallery/bS6ASIn
One of the reasons I end fasts is due to how distracting it is the deeper I am and I've noticed how sipping on coke zero acts as a good distraction. It's been the difference between tapping out at the...

Hi everyone, I just drank masala tea during my fasting window, have I broken my fast? Ingredients: Masala Cloves Ginger Water
If you're serious about fasting, feel free to message me. I am looking for a partner who seeks motivation and advice throughout the process. ​ Fast starts on: 08/28/2022- 09/11/2022
I was using Zero, but it got all buggy on me. So instead of just reinstalling it after uninstalling, I’d figure I would check out something new. Any tips?
Is one more beneficial than the other?
i reduce my insulin during fasts btw. so basically what i’ve read is that sometimes sodas are considered to break wl fasts because they cause an insulin response. however i of course don’t produce insulin as a type one diabetic,...

any thoughts? i saw a guy on here who did 5 day fasts with 3 days of eating then repeating and lost like 50 pounds in like 2 months or something.
Zero+ is on sale this week. I have used zero since I started IFing in September. Does anyone think Zero+ is worth the money? 40% off this week for ~$40/year
Does anyone have any intermittent fasting apps they recommend? Preferably free ones

I am using the OMAD method, I've been searching on the internet if it is okay to drink during fasting but I can't see results so I'll just ask here.
Hi all! Which app is better - Zero or Fastic? Thanks.
Ignoring that one may be easier than the other (all dependent on personal preference), is there a benefit to one slightly longer fast over 3 ‘medium’ fasts? (Or vice versa)
I’m starting a 7-day fast. If anyone is planning the same, pls join me. I’m still fairly new to fasting. I’m planning to also drink coffee and green tea. I want to put 1 lemon in the green tea that...
Just checking is this normal? Has anyone experienced something similar. Sorry mean bowel movements

Anyone have recommendations for the best / classic books recommending a fasting lifestyle from the last couple years? I’m looking to get back on track and looking for a good book to inspire me
I did a 72 last week and it helped me push through knowing other people were also fasting. Anyone want to join me on this one?
I currently work at a fastfood industry where my daily schedule changes. So it a little tough for me to do IF as I am constantly changing my eating and fasting schedule. Anyone who has the same experience? Can you...
So I just quit soft drinks for my health and will soon be starting back on intermittent fasting. I use the crystal light pink lemonade packets to my waters a lot. Will one of those break my fast?
my main goal is to lose 50 pounds in 3 weeks and the researches I've done suggest that one day of dry fasting equals 3 days of water fasting in terms of effectiveness. what's your take on this?
Does anybody pay for the full app? Is it worth it? I use it to track my fasts but wondering if it is worth unlocking pro.
I am going to do a 3 day dry fast and I was thinking of going straight into a water fast after the 3rd day? Is it okay? Or should I do 3 day dry fast and eat for a...

I heard fasting can raise cortisol levels.
Hello, I fasted for 52 hours, then I ate in the next 24 hours. I do gym lifts and yoga. Will I lose muscle if I fast again right after I ate? Thanks for help
can you gain or lose weight when you in intermittent fasting and positive energy balance if you lose weight how

Or vice versa? I think I read somewhere that it might be dangerous for the human body. So, if we start a dry fast, it should remain a dry fast until you end it. Or if it's a water...
I'm planning on doing a 21 day fast, cos I've done short ones before. Do you just eat like normal leading up to the fast, or should you start lessening the food and types of foods, and how many days...
If if I were to do OMAD or 20:4 TRF and made dinner my one meal or dinner time my eating period every time does your body still fast effectively or are you going to see better results if you...
Bought the premium Zero app thinking that it had a count down timer for the eating window after stopping your fast, but it doesn’t. Or did I mess something up in the settings? Why did I buy this POS premium if...
Do any of you use an app that isn't necessarily fasting-specific, maybe even one where you can put in your own labels, but track several time-slots at once? I'm looking to track bed-time and wake-up times, as well as fasting...
I am too frugal to pay for the full Zero app and it seems the free version is slowly losing features. Or their being hidden. Any decent alternative apps for those of us not needing all the bells & whistles...
I think my body got better at generating the enzymes that convert my body fat into energy with each fast. has it gotten easier for you? if so why do you think it has?
