I’ve been doing IF for about a month (typically 18:6) and having trouble with my morning coffee(s) during my fasting window. I’m aware this is dirty fasting, since I have a small amount of whole milk and stevia in my coffee. Tried black, can’t do it. Can anyone recommend a good coffee or substitute that doesn’t taste horrible on its own? Considering switching to a tea with caffeine, or other alternative.
Edit: trying to do a clean fast for the benefits, so looking for calorie-free alternatives.
I absolutely hate black coffee but now I’m at least able to drink it without gagging. To one cup of coffee, I add 1 tsp of truvia (stevia/erythritol blend) and a tiny pinch of salt. The salt kills the bitterness of the coffee and the sweetness makes it more palatable because I have a really bad sweet tooth. Down the hatch.
