I have recently discovered the LCHF lifestyle and so far have lost 1.5 stones. I need to shift another 2.5 to 3.
I have read various things on here and other parts of the web about 16:8 fasting. I am unsure if you can drink during the 16 fast hours or not. I am happy since starting this new way of life not to eat breakfast which is quite a major shift in thinking for me. My mother drilled it into me as a child that you MUST always have breakfast. I find it difficult to start the day without a cup of coffee and the news. Ideally I would get up and do that at about 10.30 but the dogs wake at about 5.30 and I have to be in work for 7.30.
My question is can I have coffee and cream when I get up. (My evening meal is at about 6pm.)
