8 Reasons Why You Should Have Coffee on an Empty Stomach When Intermittent Fasting

I’ve been drinking coffee since age 16, but first had it on an empty stomach after discovering intermittent fasting.

I haven’t looked back since.

The caffeine high is 10x stronger compared to having it with food.

Want proof?

Skip breakfast tomorrow and have a cup of coffee instead.

You’ll quickly become a believer. 

Below are 8 reasons why you should drink coffee on an empty stomach, especially when intermittent fasting.

1) Energy

You might think you know how powerful coffee is.

But unless you’ve had it on an empty stomach, you don’t.

It enters your blood stream and brain much quicker.

This gives you an almost instant boost of energy and alertness.

If you’re not a morning person, this will surely help you start your day.

Having coffee with food doesn’t work as well.

It takes much longer to kick in and doesn’t give you the same energy and focus.

What’s the moral of the story?

Coffee works best when consumed on an empty stomach.

2) Curbs your appetite

Many people struggle with their appetite when intermittent fasting.

Coffee is one of the BEST appetite suppressants.

By having it on an empty stomach, you’re able to go much longer without food.

I have a cup every morning and don’t think about food until around noon. (Sometimes later)

What’s great is that coffee doesn’t break your fast.

As long as you have it black (no cream or sugar added), you’ll stay in fat-burning mode.

Coffee also increases your metabolism which means faster fat loss.

3) Bigger meals

By curbing your appetite and prolonging your fast, you’re able to eat bigger meals and still make progress with your fitness goals.

One of the most challenging things when dieting is having to eat less.

However, if you skip breakfast, you get to eat bigger meals and still lose weight.

You also burn fat much faster because you give your body more time to use body fat for energy. (More on this later)

So not only do you get to eat bigger meals, but you get FASTER results.

Not bad, huh?

4) Increase in productivity

Those 15-20 minutes you spend eating breakfast can be used for more productive things.

You can go for a walk, read a book, or catch up on work.

Sure, 15-20 minutes might not seem like a lot, but as mentioned in the book The Compound Effect, small things repeated daily add up to BIG results.

What if you used those extra minutes for something productive instead of eating?

Even if it’s just sleeping an extra 15-20 minutes.

Would it help you?

Think about it…

As an added bonus, the caffeine high from drinking coffee on an empty stomach will give you that extra edge to work and focus on something productive.

You’ll see.

5) No food crash or hunger

Since most breakfast foods contain carbohydrates, you’re bound to experience a “carb-crash” and hunger a few hours later.

Eating carbohydrates makes you crave more of them.

Ever wonder why you’re hungry a couple hours after having a bagel, cereal or other high-carb food?

Also, as I mentioned earlier, food slows down the absorption of caffeine.

If you truly want to reap the fat-burning effects and INTENSE focus of drinking coffee – drink it on an empty stomach.

6) Longer and stronger workouts

If you’ve never worked out in a fasted state with nothing but coffee in your system, you don’t know what you’re missing.

The idea of working out on an empty stomach might sound crazy to you.

It sure did to me at first.

But just like my first experience with drinking coffee on an empty stomach, after working out fasted, I never looked back.

You feel lighter, warm up faster, have more energy, and don’t get that groggy feeling experienced after eating.

Having a pre-workout meal will be the last thing you do after trying a fasted workout with coffee.

7) Faster Fat loss

The principles of intermittent fasting are simple:

The longer you fast, the FASTER you burn fat.

Here’s why…

As I teach you inside the Demon Diet, when you don’t eat, you keep your insulin levels low.

When insulin is low, your body burns its own fat for energy.

By having coffee on an empty stomach, you guarantee faster fat loss by extending your fast.

It’s that simple.

Ideally, you want to eventually reach 20 hours of fasting per day to SKYROCKET your results.

…Or you can be crazy like me and fast for 24 hours like I shared in this article.

8) Save money

How much money would you save every day if you ate less meals?

$5, $10, or $15?

More?

How much would it add up to in a year?

Enough to take a trip somewhere you’ve never been?

By having coffee on an empty stomach, not only will you save money, but you’ll feel better and burn fat faster.

What’s there to think about?

Try it!

Tips & Tricks

To maximize fat-burning, focus, energy, and how long you go without getting hungry – you must buy a quality coffee. 

Why?

Because they’re guaranteed to have a high amount of caffeine.

Here are the three strongest coffees I’ve tried:

• Deathwish coffee
• Starbucks Blonde
• Banned Coffee 

You don’t have to buy one of the three options above.

You can get an average bag of coffee at your local supermarket for less than $5.

But trust me that you’re truly missing out on the effects of drinking quality coffee on an empty stomach.

You owe it to yourself to eventually try it.

Conclusion

So now that you know why drinking coffee on an empty stomach is so effective, what are you waiting for?

Go ahead and give it a try!

Remember that this works best without food or any cream and sugar in your coffee.

Drinking your coffee black is an acquired taste.

But trust me that once you get used to it, you’ll love it and never have it any other way.

Enjoy!
