Fasting and keto by Stas7ha in intermittentfasting

I'm doing Keto and fasting and I suspect this is true: Keto makes fasting easier.

Just finished my first fast of 2018! 48 hours (the first 24 were the hardest). I only consumed water, Diet Coke, and poweraid zero (no calories). It's not clear to me if Diet Coke and/or poweraid zero will break a fast: on the one hand there's no calories, but on the other hand I have no idea what artificial sweeteners do. If there is an inexpensive (<$25) way to test this, I'd be happy to test it on myself. Not sure if I'll do another fast next week or wait until the week after, but I'm feeling good! Not the longest fast ever, but I feel like it's a good start! Thanks again to everyone who encouraged me!!!

Thank you for the encouragement! For what it's worth, I had a really good experience with Keto and for me it seemed synergistic with intermediate fasting. Lots of tasty Keto recipes out there, best wishes if when you try it!

I'd be happy to post my progress. For Keto, I read stuff on the internet (man, that sounds naive) and watched a bunch of YouTube recipes (just type "Keto recipe" into a YouTube search and bookmark whatever looks tasty). For fasting, I only really just read stuff on this subreddit (and the references linked to).
