I haven't been following this entire thread, but I wanted to mention I often had these for "breakfast" , but I had it around 10 or 11 AM after a 12-16 hour fast. I often had a starbucks light/no whip drink as a 3rd "meal" in lieu of food. I think the main thing is to avoid having anything with this many calories as a true breakfast upon waking up.

I have cut back to just drinking half (90 calories) after 10-12 hours of no food, and lunch around 1pm. I may switch to an earlier lunch and have the whole thing ;)

Personally, I would not drink it in the morning and would have it with lunch. I have a daily cappuccino with a double shot of espresso as part of my sway, but I only drink it at lunch with my meal because of the milk (which has lactose and will raise your blood sugar).

OK, I will prob try to hold off until lunch... What do you drink in the mornings? I'm not sure what to substitute for my iced coffees!

Nothing at all but water and/or a piece of sugar-free gum till noon!

You can do a mostly black coffee with just a splash of milk. I hate black coffee so would rather just wait till noon.

I hate black coffee too... Ahh! What about a crystal light/water?

Crystal lite, water, and diet soda would all be fine since they have no real sugar and therefore don't raise blood sugar.

Atomic, I saw an amazon link with products you recommended for girl sway, but I can't find it now! Can you please let me know where to find it, and also if there are any new recommendations or changes to that list? Thanks!!

As long as you stick to that one attempt, it's still a good deal. You might want to try the hurry up FR - have DH release once, dump it, then DTD again as soon as he's able, within 1 hour if possible, within 3 if not, and no later than 6 hours after, using only second batch for insemination.

I personally think that a SMALL amount of milk and even sugar in coffee is probably ok in the mornings. It's not ideal, not the strictest of the strict, but I did it (even had sugar, that was one of my cheats).

I WOULD try to stretch out the overnight fast beyond 10 hours. That's not long enough, IMO. I would do at least 12, up to 16.
