Caffeine... oh how i love thee!

so i bet nearly everyone who is on bhw is a caffeine addict just like myself, well, im giving up caffeine and refined sugar for my health and productivity in general, this is a call for anyone else out there who has been thinking about doing it to join me and give up on this dependancy :)

iv done it before and i can do it again but with how much caffeine a lot of people are consuming its quite bad for your health, so, who's joining me? :)

oh and yes, i love the TASTE of coffee, not just the caffeine kick, which makes it all that much more difficult, going to have to find decent tasting decaf coffee... that i can drink without real sugar... lol this is going to suck :)
I'd like to join you but I still hold a (9-5)job and that being at a Dunkin... I maybe can hold back 1 day but thats tops! the smell of the coffee beans...OMG!!!! wow!! what a pick -you- up!
 
Just to throw my 2 cents in.. If you're getting tired eat a apple :) It was proven that the natural fruit sugar in an apple can be processed much easier by your body then a cup of coffee. Give your body what it actually knows how to use!
 
@trophaeum - well good luck to you.

I just really love my coffee too much in the morning to give it up. lol. I usually limit myself to a couple of cups a day though. Maybe a third cup on occasion, but I can't drink it after about 10am or so.

I wish you success.
 
Hehe funny thing with the coffee stuff.

I have never used anything in my coffee, because then I don't see a point in drinking it, but hey I'm also staying below 10 cans at the moment on average I drink 8-9 a day :P
 
Yeah im not a huge coffee drinker but I do take Green Tea Tablets.

Apparently they are packed with anti-oxidants and are the equivalent of drinking 30 cups of tea a day. They are awsome and have a great effect of boosting your metabolism without the huge crash - allthough they do contain a fair bit of caffinee.

They also help you shed a bit of body fat so keep u ripped for the beach!

Man I dont think I could live without caffine - Red Bull and Vodka forever!
 
Good luck people with kicking your addiction. I have never liked coffee and have never drank alcohol. But i now it will be hard to let these addictions go. Stay positive and it will easy
 
well, the headaches are becoming less annoying now, iv gotten over the worst of it it would seem, sleeping pattern is screwed again even moreso than before though, looking forward to a couple more days being down!

i have been using coconut oil lately and it gives me more than enough energy i was shock and it last, not sure what it will do for you but look into it.

Good for your good cholesterol levels as well. Nice call.

As for those seeking a 'boost' in the morning.. try this:

25mg ephedrine
200mg caffeine
325mg aspirin

This is called the ECA stack. You can eventually take this up to 3 times a day.

It makes all your drinks about as potent as water in comparison. :saint:

This works. Great for a pre-work out. And if you can't get ephedrine, try just the caffeine and aspirin... will still do good for "fake" energy.
 
ooo I'd love to but i tried it for 2 weeks and it was like I had no energy was sleeping more and wasnt doing as much work at all. I have b12 deficiency so that doesnt help. I tend to drink Monsters and coke. Not really that much coffee. But good luck Troph! :)

Giving up coffe is fckd up. I've been trying to do so recently - failed after 2 days. Complete lack of energy + inability to concentrate sucks...
 
i'm only now starting on coffee. i never drank it before, but i need the (fake) boost.
one cup will keep me going into the wee hours.
 
I have tried Rockstar and Coffee but I think drinking green tea helps me stay alert and focused and its good for your health...

That 'fake' boost... actually there is no boost at all when you take caffeine.

Check out this study released earlier this month:

http://www.nature.com/npp/journal/vaop/ncurrent/abs/npp201071a.html

Summary Part: Caffeine did not increase alertness in NL participants. With frequent consumption, substantial tolerance develops to the anxiogenic effect of caffeine, even in genetically susceptible individuals, but no net benefit for alertness is gained, as caffeine abstinence reduces alertness and consumption merely returns it to baseline.
 
I gave up caffeine about 2 weeks ago, as i want to become more healthier and lose weight (i drink coffee with sugar, so i get a lot of calories from it)

i wee from melons and beer like there is no tommorow
also caffeine, tea it is all crappy crap, there are some serious drugs out there that help you stay focused and keep your mind up...
looking forward to new nanotech drugs
i would not mind to take couple of pills to keep me focused... i banned tv from myself months ago... and i banned youtube and some other timewasters sites from myself :D
had to write a small software that checks HOSTS file and keeps itself in processes :)
i am addicted to utube... tubaholic
ask me for this soft if you wanna stay focused, can block any website... but it is gonna be like a heroin withdrawal

when brain is not entertained, it starts thinking, and that is crucial for any success in any venture
