@literary Espresso shots. Yes, they are bitter at Starbucks, but the volume of coffee is small, thus the bitterness is tolerable.

@literary almost guaranteed to be, since it has sugar, and definitely has calories. Heavy cream (the 40% stuff) was messing up mine, so I dropped it except for my post-dinner tea.
@literary intermittent fasting has practically cured my sweet tooth…and a lot of my other cravings.

@literary at least as a fiction writer, your book might have a long tail. Technical books have a half-life of maybe two years (speaking as one who has published a couple).
@literary the powered creamer is almost worse than the sugar. I've gone completely black now.
@indigo I haven't… it might be something I look into.
That said, I don't need to be convinced of the benefits of intermittent fasting. My scale and my blood glucose meter are giving me daily reminders of those benefits.
@indigo That's my favorite part. It literally costs you nothing to try it. If you continue with it, it will save you money. Even my wife has noticed the lower grocery bills as a result.

@sumudu My problem is I run actual official social media presences, so I can’t totally get off those platforms. I can minimize what I do on the platforms, though.

@JeremyCherfas they also don’t have the reach, which some people crave (will admit to this).

@indigo she did and picked a very flawed study that studied something similar to but not exactly intermittent fasting. A study proponents of intermittent fasting have roundly debunked.
It does need more proper studies but there’s no money in fasting for the food pharmaceutical industrial complex.
