Sugar = hot fasting.
Water = cold fasting.
The former revs up the metabolism, leaving the faster in a better long place.

You add a bit of sugar in water for a longer fast?
I prefer something pretty simple to implement over the long haul:
1. Instead of intermittent fasting by skipping breakfast, simply consume only fruit until lunch. Eat enough/alot to ensure the body is (A) toasty warm and (B) not hungry.
2. Have black coffee with maple syrup to accelerate morning metabolism even more.
3. Have a tablespoon of coconut oil with lunch. This will really rev up your metabolism and enhance fat loss.
4. If lots of fat to lose, implement IF by skipping dinner. This approach is lower stress than skipping breakfast, which disrupts the circadian rythym.
That's something to try out soonish
This is good advice. I know there are a lot of carnivores on here who think they're allergic to sugar. People are doing intermittent fasting and only eating meat for dinner.
I did that, lost a lot of weight. Problem is, it takes willpower and you'll get rundown and sick after a while. When/if you take a break, your metabolism is fucked and you'll bounce back/regain all the fat you lost.
Sugar in and of itself is not bad. Do some research. Look into Kempner's rice diet. Does your keto/carnivore influencer ever explain that?
Fat melts off of you on a water fast because your cortisol and adrenaline are running high. It isn't good for you. Sugar suppresses cortisol.
