*About this video*
Ben Tanner PA-C shares his perspective about energy drinks and intermittent fasting (Red Bull, Monster, etc.). Specifically, he tries to answer the question, “Can you drink energy drinks while fasting?” Or do energy drinks “break” your fast? He shares why it may be okay for some people to drink energy drinks while they fast, but there are some potential disadvantages as well. Ben also covers other caffeinated drinks you could use while fasting, as well as the pros and cons of artificial sweeteners in general. Hope it helps!
