I’m a coffee guy. 2 strong cups first thing. I read where one should drink two 8 oz glasses of water upon waking up. I tried it but didn’t stick with it. Lately, I’ve been drinking one 8 oz glass upon waking up. Still not a fan but I force myself. The taste of cold water I crave often later in the day, but first thing in the morning IS NOT one of those cravings. My preference is to drink a hot cup of strong coffee as soon as I get up. Then the water. Not sure it matters. I tolerate the coffee either way. Anyone else averse to cold water initially in the morning?

Alcastive I drink two cups of coffee as well, but I drink ground coffee and the cups are small like 30‰ of this cup also the coffee I drink is very strong and dark, I drink it with no sugar or any sweetener and sometimes I drink it on empty stomach while fasting as it won't break my fast, I consume 4 to 6 small coffee cups a day

salmong I never drink cold water, only room temperature. I drink water during the night and definitely first thing in the morning. If I have an occasional coffee, I drink it later in the day. Never first thing in the morning.

JeremyA1983 Try drinking room temperature water. It doesn’t taste great but it’s easier to drink than cold water. I drink a glass of water before coffee and then one after.

pah68 Strong coffee first thing in the morning. Bed > toilet > kettle > Jefit Q&A.

Stirtob it's tough. I take it with fat burner and pre-workout so it goes down much easier

jb767 For me: Glass of water (room temperature) first thing, then 1-2 cups of coffee with small breakfast. Then workout.

iamdustinbarbee lol I never drink water. Haven’t died yet. I mean, there’s water in the 14 cups of coffee I drink every day if that counts. Coffee’s in my hand pretty much 24/7.

livelikeanapexpredator I'm the opposite

I NEED my glass of cold water when I wake up. my tummy will feel upset all morning if the first thing I drink is hot or even warm coffee.

I have my cold water in my bedside prepared at night. using an insulated tumbler so it'll be cold in the morning. and that's the first thing I do when I sit up
