Intermittent Fasting has become increasingly popular as a strategy to aid weight loss, energy improvements and mental clarity among other health benefits. The practice involves voluntary abstaining from foods and beverages for a specific time period – often for health, religious, cultural or cultural reasons; some combine this approach with healthy diet to achieve their goals. As more people adopt this strategy, questions regarding which drinks are acceptable while fasting are becoming increasingly prevalent – mushroom coffee being an increasingly popular option which combines caffeine with adaptogenic mushrooms such as Lion’s Mane Chaga and Reishi as adaptogenic support while providing adaptogenic support – but can you drink this during fast?

Mushroom coffee contains minimal calories and will not breach a fast. However, adding milk, cream or other calorically dense ingredients may alter its fasting-friendly status as these may trigger an insulin response and break fasting.

To prevent this from happening, Cording recommends drinking mushroom coffee plain or with minimal additions, like adding some ghee, coconut oil, or MCT oil as additional fat sources for fuel. Once enough calories have been consumed to jumpstart metabolism and take you out of fasting state.

Mushroom coffee can be an enjoyable way to kickstart your morning, but those on a water fast may want to opt for traditional black or green coffee during their fast. Both varieties contain caffeine which will increase focus, energy levels and metabolism while mushroom coffee provides similar effects through medicinal mushroom extract.

Additionally, when fasting you should avoid tea as its high levels of tannic acid can disrupt the digestive process and ruin a fast. If experimenting with new beverages be sure to choose those without sweeteners to remain within fasting state.

Collagen supplements provide your body with essential protein without breaking your fast. Furthermore, collagen provides low-calorie solutions for inflammation reduction, gut health promotion and skin improvement – to make sure you get maximum benefit out of this supplement try adding it to hot cup of water or combining with other nutrient-rich drinks such as turmeric tea, lemon ginger juice or chia seed smoothies for best results.
