If you have regularly eaten well for some time before (i.e. no junk food but real food) you probably (?) have a sufficient store of nutrients to keep your system running for 72 hours.
The important question to me: Does drinking coffee (black without sugar naturally) blow the supposedly positive effects of the fast?

- leonroy 10y agoAs a coffee addict and someone who fasts I keep looking into this. Strictly speaking a fast is supposed to allow a period of detox for the body so coffee isn't really a good idea. That said it doesn't break your fast since it has a trace calorie content (provided no milk and sugar). After all some proponents of fasting recommend water with lemons or apple cider vinegar (for killing bio films/candida effects). I can't imagine coffee would be that different to lemon water calorie wise. Pros and cons - if no coffee makes your fast unbearable have some (I always do), but ideally you're looking to consume only water.
