Although food is off limits during your fasting period, you can still drink liquids. The key is to make sure they are calorie-free beverages and free of artificial sweeteners and flavours. To keep it simple, these are the three beverages you can drink on IF:
- Coffee: Unfortunately, you can't add anything into your coffee when you're in your fasting window (like cream, milk, or sugar) because this will throw off your fasting window.
- Tea: Same thing here — tea is only appropriate if it's free of sweeteners or additives.
- Water: Whatever you do, don't skip out on drinking plenty of water throughout the day. This will prevent dehydration and help curb your hunger. You can also drink sparkling water as long as it is unflavoured.
