From what little I know, black coffee won't kick your body out of ketosis, but it will prevent your digestive system from being able to repair and recover, as well as prevent your body from resetting without the caffeine addiction. Have you tried chicory root as a beverage substitute? It's like swapping cigarettes out for a broken chopstick.
I agree I don't drink anything but water when I fast for that exact reason. I want to give my body the best chance to heal. When I'm fasting I don't feel like I need it either. I have not tried chicory root. I just looked it up and I am going to try it after my fast, I'm curious what it tastes like. Your analogy does not sell it very well, lol. But just having a hot beverage in the morning would be better than nothing.
@@ChallengeTheory Lol! Yeah, I don't like it that much, but it serves its purpose pre and post fast. I'm trying clove water at the moment. Uffdah! Have you ever done a cleanse with bentonite or other pre-fast? I've only ever done that once. If so, could you recommend one?
@@steveaustin1984 Sorry I have not. All my fasts have been pretty basic. I've never done a real cleanse where I took a supplement to assist with the healing process.
Been fasting since the first of December and I’m down about 12 pounds. Man, gotta tell ya, I hear a lot about Diet Coke being OK (not optimal of course) during these fasts, and also that aspartame has proven to NOT spike insulin or ketone levels. But MAN, I just want to be as clean as possible. It’s so hard 😂
That's amazing! We are almost on the same fast! I started mine on Dec. 2nd. I'm on day 6 and plan to go to 7 days. Congrats on the 12 lbs. I've heard any fake sugars are not good when fasting. I know a lot of people will drink black coffee or tea with no sweetener when they fast but I would think diet Coke is playing with fire. All that sweetness would probably send me spiraling. I agree with staying as clean as possible. I try to avoid any flavor. You've made it this far, stay strong! Good luck! I hope you crush your goal.
I only went as long as 6 day without food, but I did not refeed correctly, cause I had bad digestive activity for 4 days.. Since then, I've been scared to fast longer than 2 days.. How do u break a long fast?
6 days is an accomplishment. Yeah, I have had the same issue. I have to prep for the fast by eating vegetables for 3 days before I start so I have nothing in my digestive track or I get bad acid reflux. When I break my fast I transition back to my normal diet over 3 days. I start day 1 with just boiled vegetables, chicken broth, and a little fruit. Day 2 I add boiled chicken, 1 cup of white rice and then day 3 I will be back to normal diet but smaller portions.
