Not for a clean fast

Why not? Fasting only pertains to food that's is EATEN.

@findlay Not true. I mean, you can’t drink Coke On a clean fast. You can’t drink flavored water even with no calories on a clean fast

@zerk612 You're reasoning completely escapes me. "Clean fasting often is used to describe fasting or time-restricted feeding where only calorie-free and unsweetened beverages are consumed; in other words, Erin Donaldson, DO, with Executive Medicine of Texas, " or "What can you have during your Clean Fasting Window? Plain water, sparkling water, mineralized water, black coffee or tea. " (from For Today's Aging Woman)

@findlay OK, how is my reasoning escaping you? I’m only going by what they say. Diet Coke has artificial sweetener in it. You can’t have that. The hint water has 0 cal but it is flavored/diffused and you can’t have that either. I don’t make the rules, I’m just telling you

@zerk612 Where did you find the rules?

What exactly are you doing as far as fasting. I have hit a plateau for quite some time myself.  

Answer 5

Last time I hit a serious plateau another member suggested I take a look at my ratio of carbs to proteins. Looking back, when corn, and so many beans became 0 points last year or if you are on blue you may want to cut back on carbs for a little while and be sure to increase on get plenty of water! It got me back on track.
