No Caffeine

I recently started IF but I do not drink caffeine. Any one else just a water only fast? Any tips for someone who doesn’t drink tea or coffee ?

Answer

You can drink herbal tea, if you want flavor but no caffeine. I just put a bag in cold water, and it steeps just as well.

But I rarely do caffeine, myself. On occasion if I’m feeling it, but I prefer to go without most days. Water or carbonated water are my standard go-tos.

Answer

I don’t drink caffeine either because of a bad experience with really strong espresso.

I still crave the taste of coffee due to being a simple animal with habits, so I’ve switched to decaf espresso with beans that went through a swiss water method (literally runs the beans through water and filters out the caffeine). That’s only if you like the flavor of coffee though, most commercial decafs use a chemical solution to remove the caffeine.

Otherwise water, and I love seltzer
