Does coffee creamer break a fast depending on your goal?
For weight loss
NoCreamers add calories quickly and are easy to undercount, especially flavored liquid creamers that turn coffee into a small dessert.
For metabolic health
NoMany creamers contain sugar or corn-syrup-based ingredients that raise blood glucose and insulin more than plain cream.
For autophagy
