<p>A lot of people tout coffee and tea during a fast as appetite suppressants. Depending on where you stand, cream, MCT and coconut oil don't negate the positive effects of the fast. But what on yerba mate, which contains a fair amount of carbohydrates and protein (2-4 grams of each per 8 oz, depending on which nutrition label you're reading.) Insignificant or significant enough to negate the ketogenic/autophagic benefits of fasting? </p>

<p>The tea bag contains carbohydrates?! </p>

<p>You aren't eating it, you are drinking the liquid, aren't you? If you are powdering the yerba and mixing it in smoothies or the like - then yes the carbs count, but not as an infused beverage.</p> <p>Coffee has around 40% carbs, but you wouldn't count that unless you ate the coffee beans.</p>

<p>Insignificant I bet. I drink Bulletproof Yerba in the morning quite often and feel fantastic. Not a scientific response I know, but everyone is different and for me personally I feel like I am in a fasted state no matter what beverage I choose, whether black tea, coffee, or Yerba.</p>
