United States Embassy Pristina Security Message for U.S. Citizens: Heightened Caution During Religio. Senator John McCainâs Remarks to the Assembly of Kosovo. Thank you, Mister Speaker, Mister Prime Minister, and dear friends for that kind reception and for the honor of addressing this Assembly.
If you drink black coffee, with no additives, you can still have fasting labs done. However, coffee will increase your blood pressure and affect some tests .... especially a CRP. Your paying for these tests. I would recommend no coffee 10-12 hours prior if your not sure. The best method is to call the laboratory.
Pilon recommends drinking tea while fasting because it contains few calories and won't derail your weight loss. This means you cannot add sugar, cream or milk to your tea; drink it plain. Pilon's plan does allow artificial sweeteners if you prefer your tea sweetened. Both hot and cold tea are acceptable. You also can drink coffee during intermittent fasting, but it must be black -- no sugar, milk or cream, which contain calories. Use artificial sweeteners for flavor if you like.
