In this monologue, Alicia Mackey Huber explains how caffeine and coffee can boost ketone production, recommending two cups of coffee (or decaf) in the morning for metabolic advantage. She outlines a 16‑18 hour fasting schedule where she skips breakfast and eats a late lunch, and emphasizes that exercising before this meal—i.e., in a fasted state—enhances autophagy and cellular stress, promoting renewal. While she acknowledges data supporting an early‑breakfast, early‑lunch, then fast routine for optimal circadian alignment, she humorously notes the social drawbacks of such a strict schedule, suggesting a more flexible approach for most people.

The amount of caffeine in two cups of coffee doubles ketone production and that's just caffeine. But coffee itself has other benefits. So you can have two cups even of decaf if you want to but caf works better in the morning without any of the bulletproof stuff in it and you're still going to see a metabolic advantage from doing that. And if you go for 16 or 18 hours of fasting for me I skip breakfast and I have a late lunch works really well. The recommendations in your exercise before the late lunch because exercising in a fasted state increases autophagy, increases stress on the cells. The ones who can't hack it get out of dodge and you grow new. And I'll tell you the data actually shows if you want to be a circadian, you know, great golden God you probably should have breakfast in an early lunch and then fast. But you'll have no friends if you do that so it's not worth it. That's.
