coffee for breakfast?

[ksmom]

So maybe I've heard this wrong and this is a dumb question but is it okay to have coffee w/ milk for breakfast when TTC pink? I thought I read to skip breakfast for pink so now I'm wondering if having coffee is okay.

Also, is it more about fasting for a long time overnight rather than just waiting until lunchtime to eat? I get up around 7/8 am every day and by 10am I have to eat otherwise I get shaky (I'm breastfeeding btw).

I think it's perfectly fine to have coffee with or without milk/cream first thing in the morning.

Most people will want to avoid all but artificial sweeteners in the morning, but this was something where I broke my own rules and always had sugar in my coffee in the morning. Still got a girl doing that.

It's just giving it a long time between meals at least once day. I often ate more like 10-11 because I get up super early.

What would be considered a long time when eating for the first time that day? Is 12 hours long enough? It's hard for me not to snack after dinner lol

there's no magic amount of time, just as long as you can.

Crikey... Does that mean skinny lattes or flat whites are bad? I have them some mornings around 3 hours after waking..

Not ideal, but there are no magic foods!

I feel like I'm cheating alot right now😔 birthdays and Christmas parties starting up already. I'm still not having meat but I find it hard to pass up one the sweets. Did you do the LE diet too? If you did how long were you on it and how strict were you?
