OMFG! I'm giving up coffee.

[f5fstop]

There are studies that show caffeine is bad, there are studies that show caffeine is good, which do you believe? I know I certainly would not believe a study from a website attempting to sell me caffeine free products.

I have consumed coffee since I was 18, I am considerably older than that. I have no high blood pressure, cholesterol is 10 points higher on the bad, but 15 on the good, and working on that. I drink approx. 2 pots of coffee on a normal workday. My fellow workers would not like me to quit.

So, if coffee is not having any adverse affects on you, why quit?

Well, I think it is having some adverse affects on me. That's how I found it. But I drink 7-9 big cups a day- all day- until I go to bed. So it is understandable- anything like that will be negative. But I kept reading those good studies and it made me feel better. Nobody loves coffee more than me.

I can get antioxidants from better sources and curb colon cancer and help digestion with increasing my fiber. (Which I have met my daily requirements for a month or more and feel great.)

It really helps me clean the house, workout and get through the day. It curbs my appetite and ups my metabolism. But I am confident my body will adjust.

One cup a day or maybe even two- in the morning (before I workout- for the metabolism) should be fine. But I am going to try to do without it for awhile.

Ya Think? I swear if I grew up in a different place or circumstance I would have been a crack whore.

Last night I went to bed with the worst headache. I fell asleep in a fetal postition under blankets rubbing and pressing my head (I know I am going to get a pimple. ) It was awful.

But I fell asleep 2 hours before I normally do and woke up at 5:00AM feeling great! (Washed my face and rubbed alcohol on my forehead.) Like I used too. In a great mood. My eyes aren't puffy either.

I had a cup of coffee and did some stationary toning excercises and I could feel it burn more. I did more reps becauseI had more energy. Love it.

I'm about to go make a big cup of Cafe Du Monde coffee. You know the that stuff - real rich french coffee, with chickory in it. I'm going to load it up with sweetened condensed milk too.

YUMM.

Whoo Hoo! I just had myself a nice Grande Chai Latte from Starbucks. mmm. gooood.

I'm gonna fire me up a Vietnamese style iced-coffee this afternoon. But before that I'm gonna do good cup of Ti Kuan Yin, sort of break before I get back to the caffeine binge-a-thon.

Damn!!!! I don't even know you cept for on here, and I don't want you to stop. Your body would go in shock and then who would we get our info from?

[KenP]

You all don't know the size of the cups she uses. I swear they're 24oz models and she would drink 8-9 a DAY!

She just left the house with a bottle of water. We'll see how this pans out. :fingerscrossed:

I drink it almost black and no sugar. Stop drinking sugar and you will be helping yourself out alot.
I drink about 3 or four mugs a day so I guess I'm not that bad, but if you ever made me cut them out, I'd probably kill you. Not a quick and painless death either mind you, it would be slow and horrible.

I drank two cups just reading this thread.

But that's usually my limit as far as coffee goes. I rarely drink it in the afternoon/evening. And I'm trying to cut back on other caffeine throughout the day, like drinking water instead of soda.

Here's an idea CP.
