my personal fasting tips!
liquid fasts
- set a drinkable calorie limit (i recommend 500)
- drink fizzy, low/zero cal drinks
- coffee/tea with honey or creamer (or milk alternatives)
- zero cal mints/candies you can suck on (i recommend halls defense vitamin c drops)
- soups without solids are allowed (ex, tomato)
- peanut butter, nutella, etc, are not allowed
- no “negative cal foods” (ex, celerie) unless you really need it
- caffeine, if you can handle caffeine (don’t do if you’re sensitive to it)
- spoonful of a condiment (i know, a little weird, but i like having spoonfuls of hot sauce when i’m having a savory/spicy craving)
- low cal fruit juice/v8 (low sodium)
zero cal fasts
- lots of water
- tea/coffee with zero cal sweetener (or plain)
- zero cal candies
- if you feel faint, eat a spoonful of honey, then continue with zero calories
- fizzy zero cal drinks (bubly, la croix)
- spoonful of specific condiments (hot sauce, soy sauce) to eliminate cravings
- gum (zero sugar)
- lots of naps
- lemon water/lemon tea
that’s all i have for now, feel free to add some!
