Caffeine in the morning

Just got started with IF, bought a case of Bang zero-calorie energy drinks only to find out after the fact that sucrose will undermine IF for weight loss. I really depend on caffeine in the morning but don't have the time to brew a cup of coffee before I head out the door. Is Bang detrimental to my weight loss? And if so, can anyone recommend a good caffeine-laden alternative that won't interfere with my fast?

Answer

I found that after doing IF for a few months, I had WAY more energy in the morning than I used to.

I used to be groggy from the time I woke up until like noon, despite getting 8 hours of sleep, and REALLY depended on caffeine in the morning.

now I’m good to go right after waking up, and I’ve even switched to drinking decaf.

In any case, I’d recommend drinking black coffee over any kind of zero calorie drinks for caffeine.

Regarding morning time constraints, just get a keurig lol
