Nutrition IF and Lemon Water

HI all,

I've been intermittent fasting for years. I eat in the afternoons and try to eat my final meal by 7:30 but it gets to 8or9 pm a few times/week. in the mornings I usually have water and 2or3 coffees by 12noon. I used to have milk in my coffee until a discussion in another thread reminded me that my milk was not strictly IF (this was sometime last year). so my coffees are black, no sugar.

NOW, I want to add some fresh lemon juice drops and a small piece of lemon rind to my water, also 2or3 glasses before 12noon. what is the opinion of the *strict* Intermittent Fasters? and same question for a slice of cucumber.
 
It depends on why you are fasting. If it is just health and wellness, then go for it. All fasting’s measurable benefits come from caloric restriction. so it doesn’t matter if you have a little lemon to start your day.
