The algorithm has just given me this video a couple of months after I stopped drinking caffeinated coffee. I tried going without the caffeine in coffee, thinking it would be better for my mental health. I'm not sure that I've noticed a difference, but I was on one cup a day and have some other sleep habits that I need to change too.

Brilliant Post-Apocalyptic Short Film. Without a doubt, this story could be elaborated and very entertaining in a Full-Feature Film. P.S. The "Bob Marley" quote!!!😮😊..... Spot on and cleverly brought into the fold. This short film, coming from someone who has seen hundreds (if not a thousand by now!)of Post-Apocalyptic/Survival type videos........ I have to put this into my Top 5! All aspects: *Acting(even the voice on the Radio) *Camerawork *Editing *Plot *Scene's *Dynamics *Music *Writing *The Lighting and timing *Also, the very smart and somewhat intense and suspenseful overall feel the Movie has keeps u not just interested, but, "What's going to happen next?" Type of Feel. Leaving you to want more. Stopping @ min. 21:22 and realizing there's only less than 7 min. left 😮🙃🥺😔, makes you say "Fuck!" Out loud. Yes, I'm my opinion, this Film is that good!

5:08 It's worth noting that regular coffee has about 2% of caffeine in it... So, technically, the classic caffeinated coffee is 98% 'decaf', and after the process of your choice it's reduced by some amount to around 0.3% (that's the value in EU regulations for a coffee to be called decaf), thus, giving the value of 99.7% 'caffeine free'. Yep, that's misleading A LOT of people

how'd that go, long-term?

Alright! Now I want to see the rest of the movie! Gripping and entertaining - well done!

I roast my own decaf, it is my thyroid and general health medication. My heart hates caffeine, and drinking it within 90 minutes of waking can be not great for the brain

Excellent

Been three years. Are you still off caffeine?

I think people need to educate themselves on caffeine and what it actually does to the human body. Do the research. The information is out there.

All groovy - my only input, 'If I go into a cafe and they don't have decaf'. Take it from a very seasoned drug user and drug quitter, that one reg coffee when they don't have decaf, will be the one that puts you straight back onto regular coffee. All drugs are great at first, they only suck later otherwise nobody would do them. That one coffee you have will be great, and you will be tripping balls and wondering why you ever quit. Next thing you'll be wired and tetchy and mood swinging and back where you started. I know this, I am currently giving up coffee for the... 5th time I think? Gets me every fupping time. If they don't have decaf just have a hot chocolate.

I skipped decaf, and went cold turkey off coffee and switched to hot chocolate. 3 servings of cacao and a bit of dark chocolate for added flavor. No sugar.

My advice (from personal experience) is to gradually stop caffeine consumption, not abruptly. For example, decrease by 30% each week, or perhaps a lower percentage, so that it doesn't affect your concentration in the early days and beyond.

Bulletproof decaf coffee every day with a square of dark chocolate blended in. Healthy mocha. Quitting caffeine is one of the best things I’ve ever done.

I tried today as I had no other choice. Yesterday I had my normal caffeine daily take in and was close to calling emergency services the anxiety WAS HORRIFIC. Was I being melodramatic? absolutely. But anyone who has experienced an anxiety attack knows time feels so slow in that moment. Today I switch to decaf and I don’t feel like my heart is jumping out my mouth praise God. Is it the same effect NO. I don’t get that same buzz but not left too tired either… an in between feeling which will do lol

Have you tried organic decaf coffee - and if so, which brands do you recommend?

I went to 1/2 years ago, then 1/3, now I'm on day 9 of really tapering off by using not just decaf but no caf, Teeccino herbal coffee. It's interesting how much better I sleep

L-tyrosine got me through the first two weeks with more energy than I would have had from withdrawals.

Two weeks into my caffeine detox. Went cold turkey to get it over with and just beginning to feel the benefits. Stick with it and you won't believe the difference.

has anyone else felt that their sleep got really affected on the first days on quitting coffee? im switching to green tea instead, but i always end up sleeping very few hours and waking up in the middle of night.

Same thing happened to me! I fasted coffee for a bit. Started noticing positive effects on sleep and more energy in the morning. Then reintroduced it and it was insane how much it affected me. I was wired all day! Could hardly sleep. After a few days of drinking caffeine again I started noticing old negative effects and behaviors. My mornings weren’t as great either. So I decided to switch to decaf and also found out about Swiss water process. Definitely a decaf guy now. Thanks for the video

The difference in your face in your first check in says it all!

Thank you for sharing your journey! Congratulations! ☺

I have had to quit caffeine because I recently found out that caffeine makes me have panic attacks far more often than I would without it. If your someone with anxiety, depression, or ADHD like I am I strongly recommend trying out cutting caffeine from your diet, it could do wonders for your mental health.

A friend of mine stayed with me for 4 weeks and didn't realise they was drinking decaf all the time,

It's been over 2 years since you uploaded this video, do you still drink decaf coffee? What brand do you use?

I gave up alcohol and caffeine 5 yrs ago. I find true happiness drinking no fun Jo decaf every morning. Tried several diffrent brands and like the Turkish decaf also. Great video.

so this is just a very long ad?

Just for the record decaf coffee is not completely decaf. Even with the water process, you'll have 98% of the caffeine removed. A 'decaf' cup of coffee will contain no more than 2mg of caffeine, whereas a normal cup of coffee has between 95 to 100mg in a single cup. You'd need to drink about 50 cups of decaf coffee to get the same caffeine hit given by a single normal cup haha!!

omg the emotional side effects of quitting caffeine was ridiculous!! I couldn't believe the things I was getting worked up over

30 days without coffee or caffeine, today i got peets decaf grounds.

It should be illegal to play iPhone alarm noises in videos. Listening at 9pm, my blood pressure spiked hard.

Good video mate. Might make the switch myself

As a major coffee addict....3 or 4-12 cup pots a day...all day every day and quit cold turkey because it raised my blood pressure very high....it's a hard road...I miss it more than when i quit cigarettes...

We get addicted, but once we change and let our bodies normalize, it almost always is a change for the better. thanks for the video!

how about the nasty methods they use to decaf can you talk on that?

I was drinking coffee day and night, I decided to quit. I started by counting how many I had per 24hrs for a few days, then I reduced my intake by one cup per 24 hours for a week, or until my body adjusted to it, then cut 1 more cup until my body was used to it, and kept doing it until one in 24hrs, and switched to decaf, once per day. Now I plan to quit decaf. I don’t drink soda/pop.

Congratulations 🎉.....swiss water decaf💯

Day 3 of “Kicking Horse Decaf” some headaches but energy is really off (I’m guessing my body/brain still trying to figure out how to regulate it now) day 1 and 2 many brain fog moments, headaches and slight nausea. Day 3 is getting better but feeling sleepy very early in the day like 6 PM. I bought a six pack of Kicking horse decaf so I’m forced to commit 😂 first things first 30 days

Decaff= nightmares.........

This video is probably going to be what gets me to kick my caffeine habit. HOWEVER. By its nature, there is no "natural" decaffeination process. That's like saying there's natural blue oranges. It will always entail some kind of human intervention. On the other side of the coin, water is a chemical. No reason to be scared of chemicals in the decaf process *just because they're chemicals*.

I had the same reaction to giving up caffeine. I had headaches for about a week and a half. Took a bit to find a decent decaf. Forget the supermarkets. Their limited offerings are horrible. I ended up with a decent decaf at a decent price. I got Sicilia Decaf Forte. It takes a bit of experimenting in brewing it but it is worth it. I use a Breville Infuser espresso machine. Grind finer until you achieve around a 35 second extraction of 50 grams liquid coffee out of a 20 Gram dose of ground beans.

Even one cup of coffee in the morning gives me such massive anxiety, I don't know why I kept going back to it.. I have strong cup of decaf in the morning now and I'm so sensitive to caffeine that I can even feel that negligible amount but it's just enough and I don't feel any negative side effects, it seems to have been causing me heartburn as well and that's gone away. I didn't know I would feel happier without caffeine, it used to be like sort of sense of dread followed me around 24 hours a day. It's pretty awful. I feel like a whole new person, if you have anxiety give it a try!

Awesome job

i quit caffeine cold turkey and reduced the symptoms with supplements. Acerola cherry powder for Vit C, Magnesium from BiOptimizers, KSM-66 Ashwaganda & Red Ginseng occasionally if I needed a mild boost

Peerless decaffeinated is pretty good. Made from French press

I think the chemical treatment is what caffeine bingers will spread fear about Decaf. Folgers offers a sure fire formula for if You want it to be Your dinner time groak for coffee. You could say I'm tired of the dinner time caffeine mug interrupting My sleep.

i am just putting my hand up to say: dandelion and chickory with a dash of almond milk!!! yay! it still gives me the ritual of something warm and brown...

Bit of a mission of a day! Loved this chilled style vlog Flynn

why not get a jewels scale and daily or every 2 days remove 1/10 of the normal caffee and replace with decaf? I am doing this but it's only the 2nd day and too early (probably) for headaches. but with every drug, the cold turkey method is not necessarely the best one.

good to know
