Does Queal Flow break my Intermittend Fast?

[hoaza]

Hi,

i am new to intermittend fasting and Queal. My first meal is at 12 am. Does Queal Flow break my fasting window, if i would drink it in the morning?

Regards Luke

Hi Luke!

From what I've read, I would say Flow does not break your fasting window as it's a supplement.
As long as you drink it with water I think you will be fine!

Maybe there are some other IF-familiar Quealers here, who'd like to share their Flow experiences

Hi Luke.

everything containing any calories DOES break your IF, and I believe that Flow contains those, so it break your fast.

Thanks for helping out @kremik13!

Flow contains a - very little - amount of calories, indeed. 23 per serving to be exact.
Still, as mentioned before: it's a supplement. That's why, personally, I wouldn't consider it "food" or "eating".

But I guess you would have to decide upon that yourself @hoaza...

Either way: I'm not really familiar with the topic of Intermittent Fasting myself, so I'm sorry for any miscommunications or misunderstanding!

I was under impression that Flow doesn't contain any calories... Would you mind updating the ingredients PDF with nutritional values table for Flow? 23 per serving of 7.5 means 300 per 100g which is substantial and if taken every day, means around 170 per week.

I totally understand your question and that over the time it adds up.

I will add more information to the shop page so that this is clear from the start

Sadly, yes. 23 calories breaks your fast. Whether it's a 'supplement', 'drink', or space dust, if it's got that number of calories it will break your fast. Obviously if you're not clean fasting, no big deal. But the impact compared to a clean fast will be significant enough for it to be worth avoiding. There are some great IF groups on facebook that can give you more advice on supplements that will or won't break your fast (hint: most things break your fast).
