Can you have erythritol while intermittent fasting?

Short answer

Erythritol is usually very low calorie, but it is still a sweetener and may not fit a strict fast.

Step by step

1
Look up the calories and ingredients for erythritol.
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.
Example

If erythritol makes you hungrier, switch back to water, plain tea, or black coffee for a cleaner test.
