Sweeteners (sucralose, stevia): does it break a fast?

It depends

They have no calories, so for the goal of eating fewer hours they change nothing. What is unclear is whether they increase sweet cravings in some people; the evidence is mixed. If you notice they trigger hunger, keep them for your eating window.
