are artificial sweeteners (namely splenda) allowed on fast days?

    Anything is allowed with 5:2 and each person makes their own decision on what is the best for them to put in their mouth. So you will see a wide range of food choices by the members of this group.

    Nothing is banned, nothing is compulsory - a calorie limit twice a week and that's it.
    You may well find your food and drink choices make the fast days easier - for me that is high bulk/low calorie items, high taste, high protein.

    You may also find over time that as fasting becomes more of a habit the need to make "special" choices to get through the fast days becomes less and less.

    Thanks for the feedback. I just finished my 5th fast day. Ive found it fairly easy, so far!
