> 14 subjects with metabolic syndrome who fasted (no eating or drinking) from dawn to sunset for more than 14 h daily for four consecutive weeks

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.

Most 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.
