Do Good Vibes or Nice Dreams Break a Fast?
Hey kids – Uncle Tommy with a quick update:
One of the cousins sent over this cool question the other dayโฆ
Hi Tommy,
I’ve been using your โNice Dreamsโ and โGood Vibesโ for a few months now. I fast quite a bit and was wondering if either one of the products that I use break the fast.
Thanks,

Thatโs a great question, Kevin.
Believe it or not, I can actually answer this one without Dr. Clarkโs help. (I know, thereโs hope for me yet…)
โCause I fast from time to time for health and spiritual reasons too.ย
[Quick Note about my info/adviceโฆ Iโm NOT A DOCTOR. (obviously). And Dr. Clark is a doctor, but heโs not YOUR doctor… That means he doesnโt know your history or your specific health infoโฆ So he would NEVER give out medical advice over the internet. So, the info below is just my personal opinion based on my experience and lots of reading and research over the years. If youโre interested in fasting for your health, my advice is to Talk to your doctor about it. You heard it here firstโฆ]
So you ask, โWill taking either of the products break your fast?โ
Well, it kinda depends on what you consider a fastโฆ (I promise, this is a real answer)
See, some folks won’t drink coffee or tea during their fasting window. Theyโll only drink clear water. I mean, they wonโt even add a few squirts of freshly squeezed lemon juice!ย
And some people actually do something called โDRYโ fasting.ย
Which calls for not drinking any kind of fluids — including water — (Uncle Tommy does not recommend this type of fast. I think itโs too over the topโฆ but to each their own…)
On the flip sideโฆ
My doctor told me that a medical fast is essentially a fast from protein. Which is what most people do for health reasons. (Causes something called โautophagyโ) — Thereโs the word you should google if you wanna read up on the potential health benefits of fasting.
So, some fasting experts do allow you to have a bit of natural sugar to offset light-headedness and that kind of thing.
So you see, it really comes down to your definition of a FAST.ย
For me personally, a fast is avoiding calories altogether!ย
The good news is, there ainโt any calories in Good Vibes and Nice Dreams if youโre only taking one or two droppers full (Which Dr. Clark recommendsโฆ)
โCause there are ZERO calories in the flavoring โฆ L-phenylalanine โฆ Taurine โฆ Vitamins โฆ Caffeine โฆ Stevia Leaf Extract โฆ and Nano Hemp.
So yeah, everything in our 2-step protocol is calorie FREE.ย
BUT since it tastes good, some folks believe that taking Good Vibes AND Nice Dreams would break their fast.ย ย
My point is, it really comes down to what your definition of fasting is?
Hereโs a quick rundown of the different kinds of fasts: (My son says they call this a TLDR — too long, didnโt read — In my day, we just called it a summary…) :
Fasting from protein only: Good Vibes and Nice Dreams contain no protein, so they donโt break your fast.
Water Fasting (Fasting from ALL Calories): Good Vibes and Nice Dreams contain no calories and donโt break your fast.
STRICT water fasting (Nothing but CLEAR water): Good Vibes and Nice Dreams are mostly water, but they do contain flavoring, amino acids and micronutrients and vitamins. So they probably break your fast.
Dry Fasting: Good Vibes and Nice Dreams obviously contain liquid and would break your fast.
(Technically, you DONโT have to swallow them. You can leave them under your tongue for 30-60 seconds and then spit the rest out, not swallowing anything and still get the full benefit. Kind of like brushing your teeth while fastingโฆ Still water in your mouth, but itโs up to you to decide what counts.)
Fasting for religious or spiritual reasons: Kind of your call on this one. Itโs not food and doesnโt contain caloriesโฆ But they DO taste good (in my opinion) so itโs your call on whether they count as an indulgence.ย
Hope you found this helpful.
As always…
Peace and love,

[Last Note: Everything above was about Good Vibes and Nice Dreams only… Our Full Spectrum Hemp Oil contains MCT Oil which has fat and calories. And our gummies are made with gelatin (protein) and sugar… Both of these break a fast under most definitions.]ย
