Drinking Drink with Artificial Sweetener While Fasting

So I have recently started doing 36 hour fasting. It is actually going great except the occasional weakness and of course the awful feeling of hunger, lol. However, I have been able to resist the hunger because I drink a lot of drinks with artificial sweetener which really fills up the stomach and helps fights the hunger. I know some studies have shown that artificial sweeteners, although having almost no calories, will still mess up your blood glucose, countering the beneficial effects of prolonged fasting so I am just wondering if there’s anyone here who has also been drinking drinks with artificial sweetener while doing prolonged fasting. If yes, do you feel it has indeed negatively impacted the effect of fasting (like relatively slower weight loss, metabolic profile hasn’t improved much, etc.)Because I don’t really know if I can do prolonged fasting without drinking artificially sweetened drinks. Thanks in advance. via /r/intermittentfasting https://ift.tt/C3lziuj https://ift.tt/sYZo7vB
