lemon water
its a zero calorie drink which helps with cravings since its got some flavour too it and it has vitiman c, fiber and antioxidants which will help with skin, digestion and overall improve hunger and help you cut weight.
black coffee
this zero calorie drink is great since it will boost autophagy (your bodys way of recycling old cells) curb hunger cravings and it boosts fat burning!
its a no brainer for fasting really and the caffeine will also give you the energy you need during fasting.
this is something even tyson fury recommended for losing weight.
add some sea salt to it too to boost electrolytes
electrolytes
now for fasting you wanna make this at home so you don't break your fast eg no sports drinks.
this is great for when you are feeling shitty or need to exercise while in a fasted state
the types of electrolytes you will need during fasting
magnesium
400-600 mg of magnesium will be most the optimal.
as you fast this electrolyte which is also a essential mineral so your body does not produce it will deplete. as it depletes you will suffer from muscle cramps, headaches and feelings of sluggishness. taking this will improve your cognitive output throughout your fast and your physical performance too.
also magnesium will improve sleep quality and minimise bloating.
you can take it orally through a powder in water or a supplement. note that it should be taken with a meal otherwise you will get nauseous.
potassium
3500 mg of potassium is most optimal.
like magnesium this will also help minimise bloating and all the other benefits previously mention.
you can take this orally as a supplement too but only on a full stomach to prep for the fast.
im not going into much detail as the essential reasons for taking it are the same as magnesium.
homemade electrolyte drink you can have during a fast
simply mix 1 teaspoon of Himalayan salt with a litre of water and have it throughout the day while you're fasting.
