Question

Hi all!  Just wanted to get an opinion on something.Hi all! Just wanted to get an opinion on something. Who else is doing intermittent fasting? I am just curious if you are having coffee in the morning with creamer and sugar or if that, in your opinion, defeats the purpose of the fasting?  

Answer 1

Just black coffee

Answer 2

You are not fasting unless it is clean fasting.  

Answer 3

Yes it works!  

Answer 4

At a time when I was doing strict keto, I read that anything under 50 calories doesn’t break the fast. I always had a cup of coffee with creamer in the morning and it still worked for me.  

Answer 5

The way we do it is keep that under 50 calories. Then eat within the 8 hour window and fast for 16. My husband lost 10 pounds doing just this and not watching what he ate at all.  

Answer 6

Yes and I have coffee with cream every morning. I just make sure what I am eating is between 10:30 and 6:30 every day. Down 11 pounds since January 6.  

Answer 7

Cream and sugar breaks your fast. That just defeats the purpose. Black coffee and unsweetened tea won't break your fast.  

Answer 8
