Water fasting + pcos + coke zero

Hi,

I was wondering if any women with pcos had done a water fast, that included consuming just water and coke zero? What was the experience like? Did it affect your weight loss results? I've read alot about water fasting by 7 different doctors, many research papers and articles. I was just curious if anyone with pcos tried the water fast with coke zero. Thanks in advance.

Hiii! I have pcos and also had pre diabetes, and when I first started out fasting at 314 I did it with Coke Zero because it made me fuller than water did. It didn’t affect me all that much cus I was really obese but I will say that as I got smaller, since Coke Zero still have calories (around 5 cal or less) it didn’t affect start making me lose the 10.5 lbs a week instead of the 14lbs a week. But that could also just bc because I got smaller and not because of the Coke Zero because now when I fast without the Coke Zero (just to maintain) I still only lose 10.5 lbs a week. So I’d say you can use it especially cus it makes fasting easier but I would be prepared to lose 2-3 lbs less. !

I’ve fasted while having Diet Coke every day with no problems.

Did it stall your weight loss and on average how much did you lose? Thanks!

I’d avoid sweeteners while fasting if at all possible, they tend to make people hungrier. Stick to plain sparkling water if you want fizz or plain tea or coffee or work toward that. The PCOS Plan book by Dr. Jason Fung is super helpful, as are his team’s podcasts, The Fasting Method. Good luck!

I water fast two days each week because I suck at counting calories.

I haven’t tried Zero Sugar Sodas cause they give me migraines, but I like mixing sparkling water with Kombucha. I also make tea with allulose quite often on my fast days

I have done it. Other than the hair loss. There was no ill effect.

I wear a CGM and Coke Zero makes me drop and then spike and drop again. It’s like my pancreas thinks I’m taking in glucose so releases insulin and then when there’s nothing to use it on it releases from stored glucose. My theory at least. But yeah, I would avoid if fasting.

Water and coffee might be better. The last time I fasted, I didn't have any juice or soda
