What can you drink during fasting part of the day

[Makemedoit]

I am aiming to start intermittent fasting but wondered the best things to drink during the fasting bit. I want to try and avoid milk in my tea and wondered if fruit teas were ok?

Black tea / coffee and water for fasting. flavoured tea is not strictly fasting but many do.

Thanks I hadn’t realised fruit teas etc wouldn’t be acceptable

I’ve lost a lot of weight doing 16:8 (I eat between 10-6pm) and during fasting I drink water, one cup of herbal tea before bed & have one cup of tea with milk when I wake up around 7am. A lot of purists will say not to drink anything with calories outside of the fasting period but the approach above has worked well for me & my morning cuppa is non-negotiable

Can I ask how much you have lost and how long you have being doing 16:8?

I’ve lost 3 stone and am now just over 10 stone (I’m 5ft9). I’ve been doing 16:8 since the beginning of the year and although I haven’t lost the lot since then, my weight-loss massively accelerated once I started doing it. I don’t calorie count but I guess I eat around 1200-1500 calories during the eating hours.
