I just signed up and installed their iOS app. You are correct: drinking coffee or tea in the morning starts the non-fasting period. This will be rough for me because I usually have coffee at 5:30am, read or study for 90 minutes, then have breakfast and go to work. I will shift my morning coffee to when I have breakfast.

I have been non-fasting and fasting with an even split of 12 hours / 12 hours per day, so this will be an adjustment.

Or you can ignore their advice (others advice otherwise anyway), and still drink coffee as part of your fasting...

It's not like any of this is particularly scientific...

major bummer. I almost entirely rely on caffeine while I'm fasting and it inhibits my appetite.
