Day 1 – What to drink? When to drink? Skip Breakfast? I NEED Coffee

[rwheeling]

Here I am on day one. Focused. I have figured out my meal plan. LOVE that. My main question revolves around what are my allowed drink options? If I am skipping breakfast, can I still have coffee with no sugar creamer, and is there anything else that I should be asking that I do not know to ask?

Hi, rwheeling, and welcome. Purists will tell you to only drink water while you’re fasting, but I honestly have not seen coffee with a bit of cream and sugar not make a major difference – just don’t overdo. If you can, see if you can use a natural non-sugar sweetener like Stevia, monk fruit, and/or erythritol.
Other than that, we of course recommend water, still or carbonated, plain or flavored with cut up fruit peels (just steep like tea). We also recommend teas and coffee – just be wise about what you add to it, avoiding artificial creamers and sweeteners. If you like soda, we recommend you make your own rather than relying on readymade products with excessive sugar or artificial sweeteners that can work against your goals here; just dress up plain soda water with natural flavor extracts (yes, “cola” is available!) or citrus peels and a natural no-carb sweetener (such as Stevia, monk fruit, and/or erythritol). You can get ideas from this article here: https://www.trimdownclub.com/how-to-make-detox-water.
Other beverages, such as fresh-squeezed juices and milks, are considered foods.
For general information about what foods are recommended, you can get a lot from our main program guide, which you can download through the “My Guides” area (link on the far right of the toolbar near the top of each site page).
