Can You Drink Apple Cider Vinegar While Fasting?
Intermittent fasting—a period of time during which you refrain from consuming calories—is arguably the fastest-growing diet plan. With these various types of intermittent fasts, you consume calories during a specific window of time and usually consume only water and other non-calorie beverages during the fasting portion. Does that include apple cider vinegar? It depends on the intent of your fast. These are some of the most popular types of intermittent fasting:
- Time-Restricted Eating: Among the easiest approaches to follow, according to the dietitians we spoke to, this involves consuming your calories within a specific window of time (usually an eight-hour window). This is sometimes called the 16/8 method.
- The Warrior Diet: A much stricter plan that entails spending the majority of your day fasting or under-eating and then consuming calories during a four-hour window at night.
- The 24-Hour Fast: Also known as the Eat-Stop-Eat plan, this approach requires a 24-hour fast once or twice a week. You then eat as desired for the other five or six days of the week.
