[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm probably taking this conversation off its course, but for anyone who does intermittent fasting: do you drink coffee during your fast time and if so, do you add milk/ cream to it? I have been doing a combo of IF and weight watchers and it has been working. I've found IF to be pretty easy, EXCEPT that I need a splash of milk (not cream) in my morning coffee. And I need my coffee. Am I undoing the effectiveness of IF? I'm losing weight (slowly), but I'm curious to know if its just the WW plan and I've rendered my IF efforts ineffective from my tablespoon of 2% during fasting hours.[/quote]

Many people who do IF actually start the day with bulletproof coffee (I think it is butter and coconut milk or something - not my thing) and they seem to do fine. My understanding is that pure fat is less likely to break your body's fasting state than protein or carbs. Essentially, though, if what you are doing works, then its working! The major IF discussion boards say that keeping your calories to under 500 a day "counts" as a fasting day, regardless of WHAT you eat...though I'd imagine sugar would spike your insulin pretty quick, and preventing an insulin response is the goal of IF.[/quote]

No, you mistake keto for IF. On keto, some people choose to drink bulletproof coffee - but that's definitely not IF. Because the amount of calories in that butter is way higher than 50 calories. [/quote]

No, I don’t mistake keto for IF. Many people do both, and the IF boards are full of people talking about it. Yes, bulletproof coffee has more than 50 calories. In the 5/2 IF method allows 500 daily calories. If you want to blow some of your calories on coffee, you can and people do. I do IF, do not do keto, but adore coffee. I have coffee with cream every morning, fast day or not.[/quote]
