What Is Fasting And How Does It Work?
Fasting is voluntarily abstaining from food or drink for a set period, whether for health, weight management, or spiritual reasons. When we fast, our body shifts from using the glucose from food as its main source of energy to burning stored fat.
Insulin plays a critical role in this process. After eating, insulin helps regulate blood sugar by allowing cells to absorb glucose for immediate energy or storage. But during fasting, insulin levels drop as the body runs low on glucose. This decrease in insulin triggers the body to switch to fat as its primary energy source, a process known as lipolysis. Lower insulin levels also encourage the release of stored fat, which can help with weight loss and improve metabolic flexibility.
The Best Thing For Fasting: Aqua
Aqua (water), our lifeline, is the ultimate fasting beverage. It’s calorie-free and vital for our bodily functions.

Navigating the Grey Area: Bone Broth and Others
Some drinks like bone broth and collagen peptides fall into a grey area. They contain some calories, and you might see a slight reduction in fasting benefits from consuming them.
Broth: Low-calorie bone broth can be consumed during certain fasts for hydration and electrolytes without significantly disrupting the fast. However, if it’s high in calories or carbs, it may break the fast.
Collagen Peptides: Collagen peptides provide amino acids for joint, skin, and gut health. While they have minimal impact on insulin, they can still slightly affect metabolism, making them acceptable in some fasting protocols but not in strict fasting for fat loss.
Techniques for Enhancing Your Fasting Experience
- Add a twist of lemon or lime to your water for a refreshing change.
- Supplement with sugar-free electrolyte powder to maintain fluid balance.
- Explore herbal infusions like chamomile, peppermint, and ginger.
Examples of Fasting Drinks in Action 🌟
- Black Coffee: Gives a caffeine boost without breaking your fast.
- Herbal Teas: Provide warmth, comfort, and few calories.
- Bone Broth: Although it contains calories, it can be beneficial if consumed mindfully.
