Since then I have been looking for a healthier option. I found one brand, Kill Cliff, which uses stevia as the sweetener. I was wondering if you would do a review on them to tell exactly how healthy they are.

    Did a 5 day fast once but technically cheated a little on the 3rd up to the 5th day I would drink a Monster Zero in the morning, even though they still have 10 cal. Mostly erythritol but some sucralose. They def do the trick of killing appetite though. Besides water I like to make a lemon juice, whole earth sweetener (erythritol/stevia/monk fruit mix), and Sanpallegrino sparkling water.

    BCAAs do trigger a small insulin response, but it is not a spike by definition. And, it is not enough to switch your body out of the predominantly fat burning state. In fact, a study by Zhang et al. showed a modest insulin response to the ingestion of both 1g and 5g of BCAAs . Another study that looked at Leucine alone, again showed a modest response in insulin. In fact, the insulin response to Leucine was not much higher to that of water .
