New to the sub, would like some advice or tips

Hello! Hope everyone is doing okay today. I’m 24 and female and recently discovered there’s a page for fasting. I’ve done fasting on and off for years when I started getting into sports in high school and afterwards. I’m currently doing it for weight loss and trying to find a balance to what I can handle. I’m not looking to go extreme like 5 day water fast (😅 I’m not ready). Just looking for a balance between 16:8 and 20:4 for me. I end up consuming a light lunch and then, a nice sized plate dinner along with some vitamins. I’ve committed a week thus far for fasting and for now I feel okay but around the same time each day I get an intense craving for some espresso. I try water whenever cravings come but is there anything I can add to the water that won’t make me break my fast? Lemon or ginger? I like to work out on an empty stomach but would it be preferred to eat lunch late and then my workout? I enjoy reading people’s stories and look forward to reading more 🤙🏻
