If I'm not mistaken, I think coffee is allowed during the fasting window, so I had some coffee this morning even if my meal time was not until 3pm. I was tempted to put in some artificial sweetener with it but decided against it because it's not too much of a sacrifice for me to just drink my coffee plain black and I also was worried about some things I've heard about artificial sweeteners.
I'm not sure if it's just a myth, but I heard that the body / brain might still register artificial sweeteners as actual sugar, so I'm posting here to make some clarifications about that.
I usually do drink some tea with artificial sweeteners at the end of my meal and don't think much of it since I'm okay with it as long as I take it within my meal time window, however, I was worried that it might ruin my fasting window.
Do you guys think artificial sweeteners are okay to use during the fasting window, or should I only use it during meal time?
