Alternative caffeine sources to black coffee?

I know i should probably quit caffeine at some point, but when I’m feeling lethargic and low energy from fasting i appreciate the boost.

Big fan of lattes but I’ve realized i really just don’t like black coffee, especially on an empty stomach.

What do you all like ?

Tea? Caffeine pills? Sugar free energy drinks ?

Cheers

Answer

If you’re in fasting ketosis and like me, you won’t need much stimulant to perk you up for workouts. Green tea works great, as does peppermint tea. I don’t drink coffee at all, but maybe a diluted cup o’ joe would work? I worry about the acidity on fasting guts though. Keep us posted on your findings and results! Interesting topic.

I find the quality of coffee your drinking makes a huuuuuuuge difference when drinking it black. Cheap grocery store brand in a drip coffeemaker, NO THANKS

Good quality beans made into espresso? 100% drink it black or as an americano with added water

Answer

I end up drinking a near-zero calorie energy drink per day, coffee messes up my stomach. It’s got 20 calories, I drink half in the morning and half at lunchtime. I need to give it up, but caffeine withdrawal headaches are awful. Tried no caffeine for a week and they didn’t stop.
