if you want to get the true effects from fasting the only thing you can drink is water and some electrolytes
if you find yourself getting hungry simply drink some water with salt and that will usually take care of that. but yeah fasting isn't the most fun thing, but it works. avoiding habits makes fasting easier, habits like watching tv and snacking or habits like linking stress with trips to the kitchen for a snack. everyone who fasts will realize that most of the time they stuff their face with food it isn't due to actual hunger (obese people that number is 100%), it is due to habit and using food as an anecdote for that... that is probably linked to us as children whining and our parents giving us food to shut us up.
or if you have a dog who begs for food and we give them food as a treat. then your dog realizes they can get your attention by whining and gets food as a reward. it is a dopamine rush that we want, it isn't the actual food. how else do you explain people actually thinking mcdonalds tastes good?
