I’ve never tried Pepsi max but I do drink diet soda during my fast as long as it says 0 cals I don’t count it

It doesn't break your fast because you need like 50 calories to be kicked out of ketosis I believe. Pepsi has 1 cal / 100 ml.

I know this is an old thread but I'm a Pepsi max addict.. UK cans say 1cal per 330ml, I drink about 6 cans before I break my (intermittent ) fast.
That's 6 cals. Any calories is apparently enough to kick you out of ketosis, the sweeteners can fuck with your insulin levels and affect your metabolism ("some research" says..)
Does anyone know for a FACT if my intermittent fasting is a waste of time coz of my Pepsi Max habit??
Not that it would matter coz I can't stop drinking it either way 🤦‍♀️

Pepsi Max Lime was a lifesaver for me when I used to fast
