it says no drinking as well, so not sure about the water, but I was surprised to read it, maybe they just meant drinks other than water.
- matwood 6y agoMost IF practitioners say drinks to mean any caloric drinks. Plain coffee is ok to some and not others. Most think diet drinks are not ok because they can cause similar responses on the body as ingesting calories. I IF from post-dinner to lunch every day, and only drink water and plain coffee.
- JamesProt 6y agoI'm almost 100% sure those 14 subjects were muslims fasting during ramadan. Which happen to be: - 4 weeks in length - from Dawn to sunset - No food or drinks including water - Easier to control group, as you cant monitor 14 people through 4 weeks and make sure they don't cheat. So the cheating is kept to the minimum because of the religious reasons. I also assume, that those are men only. Women are not allowed to fast when on their period which happens to be once a month.
