almost certainly yes, that breaks the fasting .. milk specifically is fed by mothers to their young to gain weight a.k.a. not fasting
- markus_zhang 1y agoWondering is there anything else I can put into coffee without breaking the fast? Thanks.
- _0ffh 1y agoIt seems like some people regard small amounts of fat to be allowable, specifically a bit of coconut oil in your coffee. At least it won't break the fasting of the carb processing machinery, so it shouldn't prevent you from going into ketosis.
- markus_zhang 1y agoThanks! I will try out coconut oil later.
- _0ffh 1y agoYou're welcome! Just keep in mind there's not much research about how this may change metabolism compared to a strict fast. It may reduce any desired autophagy effects, which are unfortunately not very well-studied in the first place, but it may just es well increase them! I've seen both POVs argued in various articles. The only actual scientific study I can find (1) does show some interesting effects on various metabolic markers, though (in rats). 1. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38401196/ https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38401196/
