What Breaks a Fast? - Deepstash

What Breaks a Fast?

It's all contextual. It depends on when you ate how much you ate and where you are in your circadian cycle.

  • Anything that involves sugar in particular, simple sugars can potentially break your fast. 
  • Drinking water, drinking tea, and coffee (provided it's black coffee) will not break your fast.
  • Eating 1 peanut when deep in a fasted state will not break your fast, eating a whole handful of peanuts might not even break your fast if you are in a very low glucose state.  If you just finished a meal that included carbohydrates, or it was a very large meal of any kind an hour ago, yes, indeed, eating one peanut could break your fast.
