It really depends on your plan with the fasting, it could help you not be hungry, but because you had not eaten, it also could get you bloated. I would stick to just drinking water.

 

I don't think so. Depends on how much you drink and how often.

ugh I forgot about bloating plus I've lost 7 pounds I may have a sip and be done thanks,

 

In a purist sense yes it does "ruin" your fast.. but honestly it has no calories so I wouldn't worry about it too mucg

 

Depends on your definition of a "fast".

It would count as pure tea or coffee, some allow it on a fast, others don't.

To me, it's still a fast just not a water fast

 

it's still 0 calories, it wouldn't break your fast unless you're legit doing a straight water fast. imo it always helps stave off hunger pains for me, but you kind of have to trade it off with the bloating if you drink too much.

 

You are welcome, a sip is fine, just don't drink too much about it, I could be wrong about the bloating, but I think it will happen, because of no food in your stomach, good luck!

 

I agree with the general consensus, it depends what type of fast you're doing and the definition of it. Pure water fast? 0 calorie fast?

For me, drinking diet soda always helped with my cravings and never ruined my fast.

 

Even if I was doing a "true" water fast, I would count it as "flavored water". But, that's just me.

 

Ok ima have some Lol I haven't fasted since recovery and well its kicking my ass so ima have some green tea water and a diet coke thanks guys

 

Good look girl! In my opinion our main focus on a fast is to consume as less calories as possible. In fact that diet coke has 0 calories , to me it's absolutely fine to drink it. I fasted the last two days and drank diet coke as well. It was great because of the flavor!

But if you fast for a religious reason or you want to do a 'water - only - fast' then of course I totally agree with everyone here

When I read the title of this thread I thought "Oh my god I hope not" I live on diet soda and coffee and tea during my fasts and I've never gained or anything!

not for religion just because I didn't want to ruin my hard work Lol thank you

 

I literally live off of diet coke. I know it is not healthy but neither is starving myself, so fuck it, right? I drink many litres a day. I don't personally think it ruins your fast but I am no ana expert. I have lost multiple pounds while drinking diet coke, so if you need it, drink it. have no worries.

 

Hahah! Thats good okay , same here!

 

My definition of a fast is 0 calories, so I drink black tea, water, and diet coke or coke zero. But mostly just water, if that. I'm on hour 77 and I've had one diet coke and one iced black tea (unsweetened).

 

I would wait and then drink it as a treat after this 72 hours.

It kind of depends on hat fast you are doing.

Plain fast/water fast = Only water
Zero cal fast = fast with liquids that are zero cal

Liquid fast = fast with only liquids

Thats how I see it.

 

I believe diet coke is fine. If I were fasting I'd drink it. I put lemon juice in my coke zero.

 

Diet coke has 1 calorie. Diet Pepsi has 0.5 of a calorie.

I personally drink water as well as coffee, diet Pepsi, teas, etc during my fasts because I don't like fasting with no calories. If i do I'll just put the weight back on immediately after I stop...

But if you want purely 0 cals then I wouldn't drink the diet soda. They're not actually 0 cals, they're just allowed to put that on the label because it's under 5 calories.

But my personal opinion, I'd drink it. It makes fasting easier/better with a flavored drink.

 

Diet cole has less then 2 calories, you're good

 

For me personally diet coke and tea are the things that save my fast and I think I would not be able to do it without.

But yes it makes you bloated but tbh it has no (or nearly no) calories so just go with it.
