Just a basic question- am I allowed to have tea during my IF? I'm talking about straight from the tea bag/ loose tea leaves-not packaged nastiness.

A number of people seem to have tea or coffee when IFing without a problem, even when adding cream or coconut oil. I don't think it should be a problem - give it a try and see how you feel. I don't have tea often, but sometimes I do have it in the mornings plain (I IF too) and it never changes anything, I usually feel the same.

Perfect! Thank you! It doesn't not make me feel any different than if I were to be drinking water. I make a point to drink 3 liters of water/ tea (unsweetened obviously) per day. I hope this is okay while I am IFing! – Farrah Jul 31 at 3:45
Are you IFing for weight loss or following Lean Gains? You should know pretty soon if it affects weight loss, because the weight seems to fall off of me when I IF and eat high fat low carb, and it had never been affected by tea, so hopefully it is the same for you! – Jackie Jul 31 at 4:08
Jackie, I am doing it for weight loss. I just started yesterday so Haven't seen much of a difference yet, but I don't see how it won't work! Staying positive :) – Farrah Jul 31 at 22:19
Good luck - let me know how you do! I am switching things up to lose some weight right now too. – Jackie Aug 1 at 2:12
