Fasting

[hoopdream]

It seems that most people accept that up to 50 kcal won’t really activate insuline and end the fasting period when doing Intermitent Fasting (eg, 16/8). I saw that a recommended pre work out dose of Palatinose (Isomaltulose) has about 30 kcal and a low glycemic index. so, would a dose of Palatinose be a boost for a fasted workout, providing prolonged energy and keeping the fat burning from the fasted state? Or am I creating more “bro science”?

Palatinose (isomaltulose) is a carbohydrate. How much it will raise insulin levels is debatable but it WILL raise insulin levels. You might be able to get away with consuming it while fasting but its not optimal.

When fasting - you should stick with water bro. Water and other non-caloric beverages like sparkling water, green tea etc.

I don't see the point of having ANY food if the point of fasting is to not eat

Smells like cheating to me.

Fasting involves not eating. I would stick to not eating.
