Hello - Happy Monday! I wanted to ask others if there are more options for caffeinating during a fast? I’ve used green tea, black tea, and coffee but I usually need some sugar to drink it. Any naturally sweet alternatives or branded teas that have more caffeine. I’ve found a caffeinated coffee bar but it included calories.
Thanks!!
I hope this doesn’t come across wrong, but you could always learn to drink coffee and tea with no sugar!
I have also used Grinds coffee pouches in the past but don’t really know if/how much sugar they may have so stay away from them now when I’m fasting
Outside of plain coffee and tea, there are caffeine pills but I absolutely do not recommend you use those. They are extremely concentrated and high strength and they will absolutely lead to increased tolerance and eventually withdrawals.
In my opinion, if you truly can’t drink plain black coffee or tea, just stick to water. Unfortunately, that’s the most correct “fasting” answer and basically anything else won’t be fasting and defeats the purpose of what you’re doing.
I have the odd sugar free energy drink here and there, 7 - 15 cals per can depending which flavor I buy. This is mainly cause its a habit before gym, if I could I’d just stick to water but have one of these a day isn’t the end of the world
