For extra benefits, don't eat carbs in the first 4 hours of eating window. Your focus, concentration and general mental sharpness will skyrocket.
That also means skipping morning coffee, which has been really hard for me.
I’ve always drank liquids in the AM even when doing IF. Just water or straight black coffee. Or are you taking the coffee with cream and sugar?
Do you have a source for that? Every source I see with a quick search says that coffee has very few calories and shouldn't break a fast.
Sure, black coffee is fine, but I hate the taste of coffee, so I drink it with milk and Monin syrup
In that case, just take a caffeine supplement that has theine in it. It would be a lot better for you than coffee.
Suggestion: make better coffee.
I've tried V60s, high-end Espressos, still hate the bitter taste of black coffee. Any other suggestions?
Maybe cold brew? I felt it was less acidic and bitter when I used to make it. I have a Toddy and with that maker you end up with a concentrate that you dilute with either hot or cold water.
I can confirm that black coffee usually works just fine when doing intermittent fasting.
I don’t drink coffee, but I do drink a bunch of water every morning. I don’t really think of low calorie drinks as affecting IF.
drink it black with no sugar. that wont affect your IF process.
