Not according to Dr. Rhonda Patrick. She was saying the studies show that anything other than water that makes the liver produce enzymes lessens the effects of the fast. Which lessens the fat loss/muscle gain side of it. I'm doing the 16:8 as well but only water during If. According to her, I even have to wait to do my vitamins and EC stack when I break fast.

I mean, I know it works if you drink coffee, because shite I've done it. Just wanted to share that info because it surprised me too.


yea i read and listened to some of her stuff and I believe she is 100% correct. Its just how strict do you want to get, especially when you are lifting like martin does.

It’s interesting. Rhonda Patrick definitely super bright. But lots of people do a wide variety of IF and ketosis and still do caffeine. I remember hearing her talk about the no coffee during fast deal on Tim Ferris show. I’m sure there is science to support it, but I seem to do okay with black coffee on my fasts. That being said: main purpose of my fasting is caloric restriction not all the autophagy of precancer and other more holistic stuff. It’s just an easy diet. I have been considering working in a 5 day water fast once or twice a year (for the autophagy and other possible holistic benefits), but I haven’t sacked up and done it yet.
