Avoid artificial sweeteners during fasting. The incretin effect from tasting something sweet will cause you to produce insulin, reduce your fat metabolism, decrease gluconeogenesis, and cause your blood sugar to drop. Usually it's recommended sticking to water, coffee, tea, and sometimes bone broth for longer fasts to supplement a little protein and electrolytes. For more information, Dr. Jason Fung wrote two books on this: "The Obesity Code" and "The Diabetes Code". Both are VERY much worth reading. https://www.amazon.com/Dr-Jason-Fung/e/B01BT8K6FK?ref=sr_ntt_srch_lnk_1&qid=1567009410&sr=8-1 https://www.amazon.com/Dr-Jason-Fung/e/B01BT8K6FK?ref=sr_ntt...
