I successfully avoided caffeine (no teas and coffee) all weekend.

And I can tell you it was rubbish.

Absolutely pants. Zero out of ten.

I would warmly recommend Peter schiff and Christine Lagarde try it.

Anyway. Mild headaches, flat mood and the desire to do very little.

I am an addict.

Is it worth trying to cut out caffeine completely? Do you get any benefits?

I do a full month a year with no caffeine. Partly just to prove to myself I can. Headaches first few days and it wears off. When the month is over im back on 2-3 double espressos a day. I enjoy a good cup of coffee, so I decided not to care about the downsides. I once read "why we sleep" which basi...

Fast for min 3-4 days and you will not want to drink coffe afterwards with no effort. fasting is for me the most effective way to get back on healthy rails, chemical body reset, and afterwards your body will tell you what is good for you, you will be surprised. However, fasting on water only for ...

GM and sincere congratulations on this improvement. I am trying to use less internet actually. 😅

It was very easy to go from 5 cups of espresso to one, then it took about six months of tapering to get down to zero. Benefits: better sleep, less perspiration, more natural feeling of wakefulness, whiter teeth. A few times a year I'll still have a cup, usually at a restaurant, love the taste

im a coffee fiend as well but do do periods off and have the deepest most refreshing sleeps when i do like wake up feeling actual rested that's what keeps me going when i quit

I did it for 30 days. I chose life with coffee.

You started with caffeine. Next try masturbation & social media detoxing. 🫡

I used to drink about 8 cups coffee / day. I went cold turkey, it was horrible for about 2 weeks. Marching up and down the bedroom house at 3am, like a proper addict. Scary. But I don't drink any tea or coffee now. Since giving it up, I've drank tea coffee again occasionally (twice last year). I en...

Biggest downside for me would be if there is a sudden shortage of coffee… like supply chain issues or worse. Thus I stocked up on an emergency supply that will allow me to wean off if needed. Drink it black so you’re truly addicted to just the coffee/tea… not sugar or other things.

I once cut down from eight cups to zero over about four months. But I have a sleep-wake cycle naturally far from optimal for working office hours. I can't be very productive before midday without stimulants. So three cups a day and useful is my compromise :)

I quit cold turkey 16 months ago after 30 years of heavy use. also quit caffeinated stuff like sodas. Still eat chocolate though. The first week was flu-like; muscle pains, apathic, depressed. Then it all went away. The initial benefits i experienced were - better sleep, less feelings of stress, ha...

We all need things to live. Water, air, food, connection. The idea of needing one more thing, is nothing to be afraid of. I need my coffee, and that’s OK.

Good morning 🌞🫂

I think it is worth it to tackle any addiction. Doesn't matter what: caffein, alcohol, debt, etc. Simply the fact that you could observe your body reacting the way it did is quite a message, isn't it?

Moin 💥 Have a bit of fun. All humans have always used some sort of recreational drug. Coffee is one of the least harmful. Life lived by dogma is no fun.💥

If you want an interesting alternative, try matcha. You need to drink it at higher quantities than you will find in a Starbucks (or similar) matcha latte, but it's the best caffeine experience on the planet if you do so and make it yourself at home - with good quality powder and water that is not qu...

Bro, nothing wrong with caffeine if used correctly. Just make sure it does not impact your sleep and you are good! If you are injured and can't exercise I think tea and coffee are needed more just as a mood uplifter.

A double one after getting up with saw palmetto, colostrum, creatine, collagen peptides and grass-fed butter, and then a single one with a shot of milk at breakfast after getting back from a one hour hike and swim in the sea, but that's it, no more coffee for the rest of the day. That's just unbeata...

BTCrevolutionary · 42w

I’ve been caffeine free for the the last 241 days and counting. The first few weeks are pretty crappy but after that it’s been all good. I definitely sleep better, better focus and sustained energy throughout the day. I think it’s worth it to be honest. Plus how many people do you know that d...

I’m not a fan of trying to cut things out. My inner rebel always got too, well, rebellious with that. I’m a big fan of substituting things in that I find work for me better. If the goal is to work out how to feel more energized and you’re feeling curious, you could experiment with other t...

When I managed to do it for 2 months i felt much less anxious and more energetic in the morning (that is versus before the time I got coffee)

PRACTICAL SOBRIETY · 42w

Cold Turkey is asking for trouble; you're just going to feel terrible and get nothing done. The easiest way I found is tapering off. Get some caffeine pills and a pill cutter. Halve the amount every 5 days or so. If you feel headaches coming on you've gone too fast or too much. It works wit...

There is no benefit in making yourself suffer.

I've never used the phrase "absolutely pants".......but I'm gonna start 😁

why do you want to stop drinking coffee?

I did 100 days off caffeine last year. The experiment is done. I won’t repeat it. It got a little easier after 2 weeks but never got back to baseline I like caffeine.

Now try going sugar free for 2 months (no foods with sugar as an ingredient) That's the big one

It's worth it; keep going. You become independent of a liquid to live. Coffee addiction is like cigar addiction after getting used to caffeine. You only use it because your brain is asking, and not because you really need it.

ShakespeareanApe · 42w

tbf 2 days isn't enough to get over any withdrawal symptoms. But as long as caffine isn't affecting your sleep or ability to focus, why give it up for puritancial reasons?

I have no idea if the results from those experiments with spiders can be related to humans but the outcome with caffeine on the ability to build their web was quite remarkable: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Effect_of_psychoactive_drugs_on_animals#Spiders Saying and being just in the process of pre...

tolerance break for about a month, every once in a while has some benefits and increases caffeine appreciation when it's done

Caffeine is a drug, right? Why consume it?
