Default Fat Fast and Splenda

I'm doing the Fat Fast for a couple of days, out of curiousity. Is it okay if I have peppermint tea with a packet of splenda on this fast? I'd like to have 1-2 cups per day.

Thank you,
Honey

As you know the ifat fast is aprox a 1000 cal diet. It is basicaly a Starvaton diet with just enough food to prevent you body from going into a starvation cycle.
If you want to be strict, I'd say no. However if you want to do a minor modification so that you can get through those few days I'd say go for it.
My brother did the fat fast for a couple of days. He knew he would have a hard time with it so he modified it by having a small salad each night. During the day he followed it exactly.
It broke his stall and he lost 6 1/2 pounds in 3 days.
I broke my own one week stall by cutting my portion size almost in half and lost 9 1/2 pound in a week.
Best of luck.
