What can you *actually* drink while fasting?**
This is one of the most common questions I get—and day I’m sharing my real-life answer, based on **years of fasting, personal testing, and a LOT of reading**.
In this video, I walk you through:
* What a **clean fast** really is (and why I started there)
* What I personally drink during a fast: **coffee, tea, water & sparkling water**
* Why flavors matter more than most people realize
* My honest experience with **diet soda** while fasting
* How and *why* I eventually began experimenting after building a strong foundation
* What I’ve learned from years of testing things like **electrolytes, flavored drinks, and coffee additions**
* Why I don’t believe in fasting “rules” that ignore individuality
I also share **my personal secret weapon** for staying consistent while fasting—especially if you love coffee and iced drinks and want something that’s incredibly budget-friendly (hint: it’s a yearly subscription I happily pay for and use daily ☕🧊).
If you’re new to intermittent fasting or OMAD, I strongly encourage starting with a **clean fast** so you can truly understand what a fasted state feels like—*then* decide what works for *you*. Once you have that baseline, experimenting becomes informed instead of confusing.
✨ **LMNT Electrolytes**
LMNT is sponsoring this video, and I’ve personally used them for years—especially during longer fasts. They help me avoid sore legs and feel great while fasting.

Watch my video breaking down *Fast. Feast. Repeat.* by Gin Stephens—the very first fasting book I ever read and still highly recommend.
