Today is only my second day, but I have drank only water so far during the fasting period. I used to love those Kool-aid water enhancers (kind of like Mio), would that be ok once in a while to switch up from the water? I am not a coffee drinker and hate tea so these would be my only other option. I do lemon water sometimes too.

Morning: Vitamin drink a cup of decaf hot tea.
Mid-Morning - Ice Water
Lunchtime - Iced Tea
Mid-Afternoon - usually I'm still drinking the 48 oz of iced tea from lunch
Dinner: - Coke a few times a weeks or iced water
Evening - Hot decaf tea or water

From wakeup to about noon I drink about 60 to 80 oz of water and nothing else.

At meal-time, I drink about 12 oz milk with whey protein and about another 8 oz of milk in a fruit smoothie. I might put a little grape or apple juice in the smoothie.

In the 11 weeks I've done this I have also had a couple glasses of orange juice and chocolate milk on some cheat days. That is it.

Water is all I've needed during the fasting part of the day. It makes my drink planning easy! I joke with my wife in the morning about having my breakfast while drinking a glass of water. I think all the water has been good for me.

Good role model...I hear he was a pretty cool guy.

nothing but cola with zero sugar and calories. Sometimes a cup of tea with milk, no sugar with desert

• A tall glass of water around 06:00 to start the day.
• 16 oz coffee with a packet of Splenda and a teaspoon of creamer around 08:00. Sometimes a second one, but less often than not.
• Fill up a 64 oz mug with ice water to sip throughout the day
• Sometimes a Coke Zero, Diet Dew, or Sparkling Water around noon if I start to feel hungry.
• Visit the bathroom at least 4-5 times in the afternoon because I had way too much to drink in the morning
• A tall glass of around 16 oz water to go with my one meal at dinner.
• I'm usually done drinking after dinner. Just no further desire for more liquid and I don't want to be up in the night.

That's really proven to be the key for me with OMAD working on my behalf: there's no "falling off" the plan. At any moment, I can resume my plan by just stopping eating until my next window. And my choice of beverages -- as long as it's not a bunch of highly-caloric stuff -- is pretty wide open. I'm thinking of dialing back the caffeine a bit to ensure my prehypertension doesn't become full-blown hypertension... but in truth, the fasting itself brings both sides down about 10 points for me.

I'm surmising it's all right to have fruit-infused water? I drink lots of LaCroix bc I love the carbonation burn!!!

I'm having beef broth (5cals/cup), LaCroix waters, tea, coffee, water.

I have my answer about the wine. Yes! Also, I drink herbal fruit teas, sweetened with EZ Sweetz or Swerve.

Incidentally, if you want you're frozen blended drinks, then asking for an iced black Americano with a shot of no sugar syrup is the way to go. I know Costa are more than happy to do it and I'd assume most other coffee places will as well. All the fun of a summer morning coffee with friends without the massive calorie intake.

I fill up all day with water (now cold and ice water....thank Joe) all throughout the day. When I first started, I drank a LOT of green teas, slimming teas, oolong teas and various zero calories herbal and medicinal teas. Now that it's been 2 months, I've slowed down my drinking a lot of teas and only have about 2-3 cups per day now and my main source of beverages is good ole H2O.

Everynight, After my mealtime (between 6pm-10pm), I'll have two caloried drinks:
Water mixed with Braggs ACV (w/Mother in it)--about 2 heavy tbsps or so, a heavy dash of cayenne pepper and some fresh squeezed lemon-about 2 heavy tbsps or so( --that's about 7 calories and before go to bed, I'll have water mixed with Ceylon cinnamon (about 1/2 teaspoon) 1/2 teaspoon or so of Manuka Honey and 1 teaspoon of Black Seed Oil--that's about 46 cals or so.

On my "splurge" day, I may have a Thai Ice Tea sometime---when I'm having Asian food.
