When it comes to intermittent fasting, the most common question from beginners who struggle with the hunger is: “What can you drink during your fast?"
A fasting purist would answer with nothing but water. A more relaxed faster may point you to a cup of black coffee, tea, or bone broth.
Let's face it: Intermittent fasting can be tough...especially for a newbie!
What can one drink to help get them through a fast without "breaking" it?
In this podcast clip, Dr. Jason Fung details why he believes green tea & ketone esters could be the most effective "fasting hack".
Here's a quote from Dr. Fung on green tea:
"Green tea catechins...you have a natural substance that people have been using for thousands of years that increases your metabolic rate and lowers your hunger. That's what people tell us all the time: They drink green tea and then their hunger sort of goes away."
