Read More »Intermittent fasting (IF) is one of the most popular weight loss methods out there. And while holding off on food for a couple of hours throughout the day is part of the plan, staying away from caffeine adds a whole other challenge to this eating plan. Can you drink coffee while fasting? After all, it's only fair to consider it an essential. Here's a refresher on why so many people opt for IF in the first place: It may help improve blood pressure, reduce liver fat, and lower cholesterol on top of helping you lose weight, according to the University of Michigan Health Lab. When you deprive your body of calories, it goes into a temporary state of starvation and slowed metabolism that forces your fat cells to give up the glucose they’re storing in order to fuel your body, says nutritionist Barbie Boules, RDN, of Barbie Boules Longevity Nutrition. If you repeat that process a few times, you may start to experience weight loss. But an important side note: Fasting all the time would, in theory, permanently slow your metabolism and counteract the benefits, so undereating all the time isn't ideal. “We don't yet know conclusively what happens in humans [during fasting], and if it's any more beneficial than simply reducing overall calories,” says Boules. So far the studies that have shown those positive results have mostly been done in rats, but not humans. If you're still concerned about having to kick your coffee habits, read on to learn all about how an intermittent fasting diet will affect your coffee-drinking habits.

But Boules says you can also reach for unsweetened tea, which is zero calories without anything extra added to it. What you can’t drink, however, are things like fruit juices, green juices , or smoothies . This trips people up sometimes, because we tend to think stuff in liquid form is calorie-free, just like water. But juices and smoothies are made with food, which means they have enough calories to break your fast. “The whole idea behind the alleged health-promoting benefits is actually fasting (i.e., zero calories or energy intake),” says Boules. “[If you’re] consuming something caloric during ‘fasting hours’ in the form of sweetened beverages, juices, or smoothies, you're not fasting.” Remember, the whole concept of intermittent fasting relies on a prolonged, uninterrupted period of not consuming any calories (otherwise, your body won’t go into the state of starvation necessary for your insulin levels to drop and your body to burn fat). Most people opt for a 16:8 diet—fasting for 16 hours per day and eating during an 8-hour window—though it's not totally clear as of now if 16 hours of intermittent fasting is the magic number of fasting hours to see weight-loss results. But, that's a reasonable rule to follow until science reveals more about IF. (A 2016 study actually proposed an 18-hour fast for maximum weight loss—but the sample size was tiny, only 11 people.)
