According to research on very low-carb diets, a fat fast shifts the body's fuel source to fat by severely restricting carbohydrates and protein. The central question for many dieters is: can I eat peanut butter on a fat fast and still achieve my goals?

Over 80% of calories in a fat fast come from fats, a strategy designed to induce ketosis rapidly. Given its high-fat, low-carb profile, many wonder if you can have heavy cream on a fat fast, but the answer depends on your specific goals and interpretation of the fast.
