Most likely a small piece of lemon in your water will not break your fast, but a lot of lemon or lemon juice could most definitely break your fast. I recommend not adding too much lemon or fruit into your water while fasting. Some people add lemons, mint leaves, or other fruits to infuse their water for a better taste.
Water will ensure you stay hydrated while fasting, and will also help keep your appetite suppressed. This is especially true while fasting, and I highly recommend to drink plenty of water while intermittent fasting. We all know how beneficial and important water is for our body to function properly, and stay hydrated. You can’t go wrong with plain water while intermittent fasting. Water (acceptable)įirst on our list is good ole’ H20. The most popular drinks consumed while intermittent fasting are water, sparkling water, carbonated water, black coffee, black tea, green tea, BCAA’s, diet soda, sugar-free energy drinks, and any other zero calorie or sugar-free beverages out there. I will be discussing the main beverages people enjoy while fasting, and whether or not these beverages are truly acceptable while fasting. However, there has been some debate on whether or not these drinks are acceptable, and whether or not these drinks “break” your fast. So technically, you are not consuming any calories with these beverages. However, the main question that arises is what can you DRINK during the fasting window, because there are multiple beverages that contain zero calories. Obviously you cannot consume any food during the fasting window, because food contains calories which will break your fast. There are many different intermittent fasting protocols, the most popular being 16:8, 20:4, or 24hr alternate day fasts. Technically, intermittent fasting should be called time restricted eating, because it is a time period where you are restricting yourself from eating. So for those who are unaware about the rules of intermittent fasting, it basically consists of a window of time where you are restricting yourself from consuming calories, “fasting”. Intermittent fasting has been exploding in popularity over the past several years, and there are many new people beginning to experiment with intermittent fasting.
