¿Rompe Plain tea un ayuno?
Does not break a fast
Plain tea no rompe un ayuno cuando se usa según las indicaciones — su impacto en calorías e insulina es despreciable para objetivos de ayuno estándar.
Calorías
~2 kcal per 240 ml cup (no milk, no sweetener)
Por qué — la lógica de calorías e insulina
Unsweetened black, green, white, or herbal tea brewed in water contains trace amounts of calories — generally under 2 kcal per cup. It does not produce a meaningful insulin response. Green tea may support fat oxidation during a fast through its catechins and caffeine content.
¿Depende de tu objetivo de ayuno?
Safe for weight-loss, metabolic, and most autophagy-focused fasts. Some autophagy researchers suggest green tea polyphenols (EGCG) may actually support autophagic pathways, though evidence in humans is preliminary. Adding milk or honey would break the fast for all goals.
