Does LMNT break a fast?Updated 7 months ago

Okay, so the question is: does LMNT break a fast? Well, it's all about how you define "breaking a fast" and your fasting goals.

LMNT has zero sugar and only 5-10 calories with 1-2gof carbs, so its impact on your blood sugar is very minimal. That being said, the flavoured versions are sweetened with stevia and flavoured with natural flavouring so you may see a short, slight rise in your insulin levels.

We'd say they are fine if you are fasting for weight loss, but not if you are fasting for autophagy. But as you noted, there are lots of differing opinions to that 😀 

If you want keep it clean, you can always opt for the unflavoured LMNT.  It's got no sweeteners or flavours, so it won't spike your insulin and 💯 won't break your fast.
