We'll see how the long fast goes. I'm going to allow myself water, tea, and coffee. I've read plenty of recommendations for blending butter in your coffee. A colleague who is health nut and usually right-on with most things recommends instead blending coconut oil (or a kind of coconut oil paste) in with coffee to give a little energy and not interfere with the benefits of fasting.

Opinions vary wildly on what is or isn't permitted during a fast, so I need to decide if I'm going to go for the butter/oil or not. Any thoughts on that?
