Fasting question
Can you have diet soda while intermittent fasting?
Short answer
Diet soda may not add calories, but many people avoid it during fasting because sweeteners can increase cravings.
Step by step
1
Look up the calories and ingredients for diet soda.
2
Choose a rule before the fast starts so you are not deciding while hungry.
3
Use the same rule for at least a few fasts before judging whether it works.
