How to quit coffee, how to quit caffeine, what happens if you stop drinking caffeine, second thought, secondthought.

Your video turned out great! Had a blast working with you :)

I used to be addicted to caffeine it was taking over my life I couldn’t go through my day without several cups of coffee or I would getting headache and getting irritated but once I started to do cocaine I was able to cut cold turkey without any side effects
So proud of you, keep it up!
Gonna try that

Well there it is! 😂
Is anyone watching this while drinking caffeine
Me am coffee lover
Yeah with a little piece of Muffin 😂
I just had a diet soda earlier with caffeine and this video pops up in my feed. LOL.
Me too
@@jamiecee4960,government is suspect of you.watchout.
Even though this is the first video of yours I’ve seen, I subbed because of your editing style. Between the Vsauce music in the opening, the “science” emoji over your face, and “cold TURKEY or TAPEring off”, you had me,
Patrick, I love you.
I used to have energy drinks daily and suffer with headaches, I’ve not had one for a week now and the headaches have calmed
tapering off is best but sometimes it tempts me to go back full blast, which is why its taken me many years to stop! cold tukey just leaves me in a panic and rushing to get more...its hard to stop.
Coffee makes mess of your adrenal glands, and puts body into a constant stress mode.
COFFEE IS AMAZING, ONCE IN THE MORNING EVERY MORNING, HIGH IN ANTIOXIDANTS AND GREAT FOR VASCULAR SYSTEM AND BRAIN..............DON'T STOP, GET IT IN~!
Fruit and veg has antioxidants and is amazing for health and energy, no need for coffee :)
JOXENOSO+ FRUIT AND VEGIES ARE GOOD TOO, COFFEE HAS BENEFITS AS WELL, LEARN ABOUT COFFEE , EDUCATE YOURSELF, IT'S FULL OF ANTIOXIDANTS....SOME FRUITS AND VEGIES ARE FULL OF PESTICIDES AND HERBICIDES
Honestly it’s all about balance. Anything in excess is bad for you. Doctors and nurses recommend no more then 2-3 cups a coffee per week.
I use coffee as a stimulant if I haven’t gotten much sleep from going to powerlifting completions and need a kicker.
Lee lunk if you enjoy it and feel the benefits carry on, I have educated myself, coffee is full of pesticides and is acidic, I personally get addicted to it and it rips my stomach and intensine to pieces, I bleed when I drink coffee, but I keep trying to give up, I'll defeat it completely one day!
I never had a problem with fatigue until I became a caffeine addict. Once I got completely dependent on caffeine pills that's when I developed CFS, issues with digestion, severe insomnia, etcetcetc the list goes on. It's been 1 week since I quit and I couldn't be happier that I'm done with this drug for good. I'm finally getting my natural energy back and starting to feel like my old self again. If you're thinking about quitting caffeine you won't regret it.
Hey Jell how are you doing now?
@@philmehrart it's been a year and 8 months since I quit and I'm feeling the best I've felt in years. It took a while to get to this point though, 3-4 months just for the brain fog and a lot of the fatigue to go away, about 6-10 months to start feeling completely normal again. Over a year to fix the insomnia. But I'm the most happy about having no more chronic fatigue and brain fog 👌👌👌
I think you had vitamin b1 deficiency?
@@mypsychology7519 no deficiencies. I got my checkup and I actually had elevated calcium levels and that was it. It's been about 2 years since I quit and last week I had a cup of black tea and I became really fatigued after a few hours. Caffeine just ain't good for me it for anyone else really. Putting your body under stress for hours upon hours isn't natural to the human body.
@JellO I'll assume you've read caffeine blues? If not, highly recommended. Although as you are clean, you may have no interest. Well done on your journey, I'm 5 weeks into mine, no caffeine whatsoever, be it food or drink
My grandma was giving me coffee in my sippy cup since I was 2 or 3, and I’ve been addicted to coffee longer than I’ve been able to read. I’m fairly certain it’s contributed to my adrenal fatigue, and I’m ready to quit. Grandmother was a horrible narcissist, so quitting coffee is also sort of becoming therapy in a way - breaking the chains of addiction that she put on me
Damn 🥺 You got this! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 I’m rooting for you!
I'm very sorry to hear that. anyone who hadn't gone through puberty should never be given caffeinated drinks
5 cups of coffee per day? That's outrageous!

Two Cups of Coffee = 160mg

You forgot the "worst headaches that literally don't go away with Advil"
Nope I get them too
Drinking fruit juices that have some sugar + drinking water when I quit coffee months ago still got the worst headaches. Couldnt look straight while walking from so much pain and went to sleep in the afternoon (went to bed with so much pain it was unbelivable and ended up falling asleep. As soon as I woke up to pee got again huge huge pain that only went away when sleeping. It lasts 7-10 days and if you drink tea or chocolat or coffee you only add days to the pain.
I tried the "I need water or sugar" tecnique so Im sure it is part of coffee detox.
ive been drinking 1-3 monster energy drinks each days and the withdrawal headaches kill me
You people ....🦖
I had a wicked headache when i stopped
Coffee makes me anxious around people and unable to focus on anything, making me an almost incompetent person. It also makes me a night owl. When I quit I started waking up earlier and was more focused and relaxed. The problem is that I keep going back due to poor self control but I'm working on that too.
im just like this
Have you tried decaf? That’s what I’m thinking about doing. Even though it doesn’t give you the high I imagine it still tastes the same
How? I'm interested in learning more.
Cold Turkey two days so far.🙂 I was drinking a large Starbucks for many months. It gives me anxiety and messes with blood pressure. I Quit before with much success. It is a psychoactive drug that billions of people are addicted to.
3 days!
I got a Starbucks advertisement before this
I have TH-cam Premium and I can recommend it to everybody!

How to quit caffeine?...use cocaine
Great idea. I'm trying to cut back on coffee so I can get pregnant. Maybe cocaine will help me be a bit more reckless, and raise my chances of getting knocked up!

Never got into coffee cause everytime I had even a small cup I would shit myself for over an hour lol
It means you are allergic to coffee. I am also allergic to coffee but mine is inflammation like puffy face.
💨😬
@@ruelguitar2k oh yeah definitely. The caffeine plus all the other compounds thatll make you poop, plus general sensitivity (many similar foods to ibs triggers) and anxiety were all coinciding factors lol
@@BrassyBrunette XD never trust a fart!
You're very lucky. It's like being addicted to fast food. You're better without it.
I tried caffeine detox for 3 days and it felt like I was developing amnesia
Same, bro. I think my boss is gonna fire me soon((
Thats a sign to keep going to a better future
That won't do much. It takes 4 days to get caffeine out of your system...try at least 1 week.
The game?
Three days is not long enough. You need to go several weeks or a month to feel benefits
Dehydration...anxiety...that's why I quit caffeine. I only went back to it recently because I figured why not? What's a week's worth of caffeine going to change over the holidays? And eventually I started to get anxious, and it would last...all day. So I quit cold turkey and suffered from insomnia for 2-3 days. Wonderful.
I have quit alcohol, smoking, weed, all the meds I have been taking, soda, and a few other things. My next goal is to quit all food, water and oxygen, followed shortly by quitting life itself.
Ha-ha-ha-ha, why all this nonsense. All our food is poison

So many “self-improvement” channels are focused on fine-tuning every aspect of your life, #hustle, whatever. I appreciate that you’re so honest about the need to improve while also being real about how to go about it, and how to still live an enjoyable life. You don’t feel like a self-important guru, you just seem like a guy lol. Thanks for being both relatable and motivating
Beware of decaf coffee, it has some caffeine too.
It is very little compared to regular coffee though
True- which can make it a great tool in the step-down method of getting off of caffeine entirely. Knowledge is the key, though. Many folks don't know that decaf coffee still has some caffeine.
I live a sugar-free life and also never smoking and alcohol. In this way, I will completely quit consuming something.
Mete Haydaroğlu soon you’ll survive off nothing but air
Kid....LOL ;))
sugar free is so fcking unhealthy are you stupid
@@amodeocorporation6821 lol No I am not. Are U?
@Neurotica Combustion Do you wanna make me agree with you?
I’ve tried both cold turkey and tapering off quitting methods. Going cold turkey was horrible. I experienced the worst migraine of my life the 5th day of quitting and had to turn off all the lights in my house lol second method was pain free. Coming from someone who drank 2-3 Red Bull’s a day for years, I went to 1 redbull for a week, half a redbull next week, and a sip the week after before cutting it out the second time. Been caffeine free for months now and I feel great.
No caffeine
Nofap
No alcohol
No smoke
Just believe in Jesus and live like child of God.
Studies show that people who believe in Jesus are more likely to beat their spouse, kill their own children, or commit a mass homicide.
Jesus turned water into wine.
Of all the withdrawal symptoms you listed, the most severe one was left out completely, intense migrane-like headaches. Nevertheless, a short and concise breakdown of quitting coffee, good video.
That’s what I’m afraid of. A migraine has been my body’s way of telling me when something is wrong for over a decade. 😫 Stress, dehydration, etc etc.
Took me a good 2-3 months to start feeling normal again and had terrible depression during this time... but was well worth it! I’ve slipped up a couple times since but just end up feeling so drained and groggy it’s not worth it.
This video is definitely best case scenario in terms of withdrawal time, but stick with it, withdrawals will eventually subside :)
Hey Chris did you stick with it? I'm coming off coffee now, thankfully no brutal headaches so far but the mood swings/depression sucks
Yeah even tapering slowly can still make you feel awful. To avoid withdrawals you would probably need to taper over several months or more. I have quit caffeine but gone back on it again. Sometimes I wonder if the caffeine can mask fatigue caused by other issues, such as lack of sleep or poor diet.
Yeah the depression is real. Comes and goes. Im one month in and Im feeling extremely tired and groggy all the time…
hey great video... loved how fast you got into the content with out wasting 20 min. of my life on random personal anecdotes. Also a very clearcut and useful presentation on the actual science behind what caffeine is doing, makes me want to quit even more so (no to find that bag of medicinal heroin to help me get started)
I went 55 days without it until new years and couldn't believe how great, calm, and more confident I felt. Drank coffee from the 1st to the 3rd of January and by the third I was like... "Oh. THIS is why I gave it up." The self torture must end! A good cup of tea with a greasy fry or hangover is simply a must though. No point giving up caffiene militantly.
It takes months to get through withdrawal symptoms. Symptoms increase after the first month of no caffeine. At around 4 months your are about 80% better
Well I’m fucked
@@juicybacon12 yes you are
Depends on a lot. Not everyone has the same experience.
My Doctor put me on a Caffeine free diet 8 months ago. It was very difficult but I stuck to it with 0 relapses.
So.. you came here just to pat yourself on the back, or?
So? Can you embellish a bit?
I've quit soda and caffeine completely before. I didn't have to take medication to sleep, I was awake but mellow during the day, less anxiety, less depression. More overall mental stability, more stable bodily cycles, and just a better overall quality of life. I want to do this again, in addition to fixing other unhealthy habits I've picked up over time; Mountain Dew burns after you've been off for months
Switching to green tea works well for me. It has much less caffeine than coffee and contains L-theanine, which can have a calming, focusing effect.
I’m gonna get some today now. Thank you for the advice.
No
Yeah I'm doing a similar thing with coconut water with caffiene and now I just drink a 2 liter of it at a time
Green tea gives me heart palpitations. Went cold turkey with coffee 2 weeks ago. Hopefully energy will improve by next week!!! 🤪😅
@levmoses742 how's your journey so far
I know am addicted when I walked threw a snow storm to get my Dunkin donuts extra large coffee I downsized to large then medium to weekends only.
I went cold turkey. Day 3-4 worst; no energy to the point i could not work. Bit migraine, too. After a few more days no symptoms, only benefits. #1 better sleep. #2 less frequent toilet visits.
I’m going to taper off coffee I tried quitting cold turkey and got such a terrible headache I chickened out and went back to coffee but I won’t give up , I already quit smoking cigarettes and I’m determined not to be hooked on anything! Thanks for the info!
Hot its going ?
Update ma
@@smiercksiazka776 still going strong! No coffee and don’t even miss it 😊
@@user_abcxyzz going great! No coffee and not missing it at all 😊
That's funny, I was just going to check on progress and someone already did recently. We must all be on the same wavelength. I'm going to try to stop coffee also. Been drinking it since I was a kid.
I was drinking 3 cups of coffee a day for a very long time, and I randomly started getting carpel tunnel symptoms, it got so bad it was had to even hold on to things or open stuff. I tried a b6 supplement and it got better but sill had issues I noticed it was worse after drinking coffee. Then I cut my coffee down to 1 cup a day and after about a week I had no more carpel tunnel symptoms and still no issues after about 6 months so far. not sure if it was the coffee itself or the caffeine maybe causing a b vitamin deficiency. it's just strange I have been drinking it all my life, I guess my body just had enough.
Thats crazy!
I had those same problems with my hands! I didn't even realize I haven't had those pains since I quit caffeine. Wow!
I am addicted to the euphoria from taking caffeine after the withdrawal - which gets me back into the cycle unfortunately... I even like the withdrawals as every day without caffeine will make the euphoria better - kind of like longer nofap gives better orgasm. I am yet to find a way to use caffeine just occassionally or none at all.
Interesting perspective.
Does coffee affect your sleep cycle?
I am actually an extreme night owl and my cycle shifts by hour of more every day so I often sleep during day. Cofee shifts this even more so I often use it to correct the cycle - but it does not last long and I am daysleeping again... Last months I don't even know I have any cycle - I just sleep randomly - each day at completely different hour :(
@Bacon & Eggs Indeed. Fortunately I found a milder substitution with herbal stimulants and adaptogens, such as Ginseng, Maca, Astragalus, Tribulus and Kratom (which is slightly addictive, but not as much as caffeine and the withdraval is bearable). Modafinil also works great for knowledge workers and late shift workers.
dude ive never related to anything more in my life
I feel like this video seriously underestimates the time frame in which symptoms occur. Some feel depressed and fatigued for months.
No joke. A lot say 3 weeks to 3 months, but the longest I have heard so far is an entire year 😅 Like damn, tell me that’s not an addiction
I switched from coffee to green tea. Feeling better so far. Yes, I know green tea has caffeine but I'm not jittery like I was with coffee.
DECAF STILL HAS CAFFEINE !!!!!
15 year pot a day coffee drinker here, going on my 6th day cold turkey, yesterday was the worst (migraine) but woke up this morning feeling great! Never going back.
hows it going
@@hanskazan7403 saving money and I'm a lot less spastic... As common as coffee is one would never think it could affect your life as much as it does. Caffeine is as much of a drug as many people get locked up for, in my opinion. thanks for asking, and yourself?
@@StevefromCincinnati quitted myself too for close to a month now feel alot better, quitted all caffeine chocolate Thea etc sleep is better having more energy at night digestion is better feeling more hydrated only positives for me whiter teeth
How to Quit Caffeine ? By not livin in our system.
Jason Christoff says coffee is the day drug of the slave and alcohol is the night drug.
Babylon
When I don't drink coffee : Headaches and sleepiness
When I drink coffee : extreme anxiety and stress.
God I need to quit.
Larks' Tongues In Aspic OMG me too! It’s ridiculous
Have some aspirin handy. It won't make the sleepiness go away, but it will deal with the headaches.
You should probably drink your coffee with L-thenanine
Those headaches and sleepiness will go away. Try water fasting it will stop the cravings. It works for me, i no longer crave for coffee, i still drink once a week because of my friends but i am no longer dependent on it. Our body can adjust. And please do not take any medicines, just eat healthy foods. If you rely on medicines it means your body is not healthy.
If you already suffer from anxiety, i would advice to first do this (quitting coffee) or try nofap.
I don't think doing them all at the same time is bearable for most tho.
5 cups, that would put me in cardiac arrest
@markus Do you have the research on this?
im eating energy powder from a tube. about 800-1000mg a day, for god knows how long. No cardiac arrest yet
I’m depressed and can’t function without coffee… it’s the only way I can get anything done, drinking so much coffee I have anxiety later and crash so bad I feel terrible after it wears off. I always feel terrible at the end of the day but if I don’t drink coffee I CANT DO ANYTHING AND I CAN BARELY STAY AWAKE. 😭😭😭😭😭 I’m trapped
I've detoxed a couple of times, about to do it again starting tomorrow. I definitely get the more consistent energy! I've found the best way for me is actually a rapid taper. That is, right now I drink 1 to 3 cups a day. My plan is to not have my morning coffee, and as soon as I start to feel withdrawl symptoms, usually a mild headache at first, I'll have half a cup of coffee or tea. That's it for tomorrow's caffeine. Repeat the next day then go cold turkey. You get some withdrawl symptoms but they are pretty mild when done this way. Within about 5 days to a week I'll be 100%
"just when I thought I was out, they pull me back in" -ex coffee addict, going through caffeine withdrawal.
I quit caffeine when I started realizing I was becoming dependent on it
The vsauce meme in the beginning 😂, great video
Even if I drink one cup of coffee (12oz filled up) the next day I usually feel pretty tired more than usual waking up.
I kept have heart palpitations from drinking coffee. I switched to decafe . I would normally drink one large French press of coffee per day. Palpitations stopped being so intense but we’re still there. Had my DNA done and found out I was a slow metabolizer of coffee. I also found I had vitamin deficiencies from a mutation in my genes-MTHFR. Bought supplements, changed my diet, and they disappeared. I found a substitute for coffee, chicory root. I bought it off of Amazon from World Botanicals. I also found Teecino chicory coffee at my local Whole Foods. They cost more but you do not need to use much. Two scoops is fine in a French press. This has been a life health changer. No more palpitations. Also, there are foods that made me have this problem. So I watch myself. I believe by having good nutrition based on your DNA helps you achieve a healthier life. My doctor is amazed by my research, DNA, and problem solved. I took control of my health.
Connie Fillippelli oh wow I didn’t know that was a thing. I’m going to try this out 👍 thanks
Belle Elias I used Vitagene.com for my DNA
Connie Fillippelli so you only had heart palpitations or were there other signs?
What about caffeine’s impact on the pineal gland (the sitting place of the soul, intuition, creativity, astra-travel, etc.). It is already proven that people who have a regular caffeine intake have a 20% smaller pineal gland. Link that to the calcification caused by chemicals like fluoride and connect the dots as to why its a legal drug, representing a billion dollar industry.
P. S. Thanks for the great video!
Do you know what is the best thing about quitting caffeine? When you need a boost, it actually works.
Usually I sleep 8 hours every night but this night I needed to finish some work and slept only 5h. Woke up kinda down. Drank some coffee (not a lot) and I am feeling great.
I made the decision to quit weed AND caffeine about a month ago.
Weed went surprisingly easy. Caffeine, on the other hand, I am still struggling with.
Needless to say, that should tell you how addictive it is.
What about all the health benefits? Such as reduced risk of heart disease, reduced risk of type 2 diabetes, protection against Parkinson's and Alzheimer’s, lowered risk of Alzheimer's disease and more. Granted, if you're getting your caffeine from energy drinks, the sugar is probably causing more problems than the caffeine is helping. Drinking more coffee has even been shown to lower your risk for dying (mortality), from Association of Coffee Consumption With Mortality Among Nonwhite Populations.
I don't think your arguments for quitting caffiene were very compelling compared to the vast amount of health benefits as evidenced by many studies.
I believe it depends on genetics, if you metabolise coffee slowly the drug has stronger and longer lasting effects. These people suffer more negative effects from drinking coffee including cardiovascular risks. Fast metabolisers on the other hand appear to gain positive benefits from drinking coffee. These are the people who can have a coffee before bed and sleep soundly. Me personally I’m a slow metaboliser of coffee and can attest to the negative side effects of coffee even though I like it I’ve had to give it up.
It's all about the dose man
Which studies? You don’t put the medical references... I don’t think this is true.
Which coffee corporation did you read these benefits from. Sounds like propaganda to stay addicted to caffeine
@Robert Cis. and vegetables funded by the vegetable industry and cigarettes from the tobacco industry and water from the water industry and marijuana from the marijuana industry......
Why drink coffee when you can stack DigiByte?
I really can't tell if I genuinely like the taste of coffee or if I only like the taste because of it's benefits, nonetheless that stuff tastes like chocolate to me and I only drink it dark. It'd be hard for me to quit and I only have like 1 cup a day but also have lots of tea which I'm sure adds significantly to my caffeine count. Great vid.
Caffeine is neutral in taste...
If anyone is still looking at this video for years later I'll say that fasting absolutely worked for me with no caffeine withdrawal. Mind you I was having roughly 100 to 150 mg of coffee in either 50 mg tablets or two to three cups of coffee a day. I did an Islamic style fast which consists of waking up very early in the morning, usually 4:00 a.m., eating before the sun rises and hydrating, and then not eating or drinking anything until sundown. I also do intermittent fasting regularly, and I'm able to not eat for 16 to 20 hours. During my fasting period, I had absolutely no symptoms, and no withdrawal, and remained that way in the days after until I felt like a taste of coffee before a workout and got hooked again lol.
are you Muslim. Why don't you think about it?
I’m 4 days off. I consumed 300-800 mg of caffeine each and every day. I quit cold turkey and it has sucked. I Have had a headache the entire time and a lot of stiffness, aches, and irritability. Not sure why I quit. I don’t know if it’s to stop caffeine all together or just to reset my tolerance. I guess I’ll wait and see how I feel in 5 days
Hey guys, here is a tip that helps me with coffee: mint tea.
It's spicy, bitter, strong taste, hot of course and... absolutely caffeine free, naturally. It probably won't "wake you up" like a cup of coffee but it does provide that fresh breath after a sip, which does help, alongside with the coffee attributes I mentioned.
Also don't add sugar to it, enjoy its naturtal gentele sweetness.
I quit on August 23rd 2021 & I feel much better than with it. More energy without it. Women usually have the worse withdrawals.
Could not lose weight for 20 years no matter what I did. Was a heavy coffee drinker. Quit coffee, and easily started to lose weight - 18 pounds. Got cocky, started coffee again. Can’t lose the last 15 pounds. Not budging at all. Will go cold turkey again tomorrow. Here comes the 3 days of headaches!
I just watched your Video and I'm real motivated now.
I'm going to do this.
just let me get a cup of coffee first.
I love the taste of coffee and the rush from it but I decided I'm going to quit. I only drink one cup in the morning but I always feel the crash a few hours later. I have quit before and I remember how my energy level would stay more constant throughout the day when I wasn't drinking coffee.
I quit caffeine after a bad caffeine high from some medicine I took... it gave me a fucking heart attack like panic attack and made me loose my shit :,) fuck that
I'm clean for almost 6 days right now. Hopefully it works this time 💪🏻👊🏻 definitely want to endure my cure 😉
I'm weaning off with black tea, then cold brew tea with 1/3 the caffeine from coffee
Your explanation is straight to the point,which is just amaizing 👍
I am starting again, I quit before for 40 days, you also save money 😂😂😂
I now brew my coffee in a cezve and leave it in the fridge before serving. Since going cold turkey, I feel amazing.
MGTorque needs more likes lmao
Recently quit coffee and porn, its definitely given me more time to read book and smoke crack
I quit on Friday, felt very tired but not too bad. On Saturday I felt extremely tired, had zero motivation, a headache, and also felt slightly depressive but that went away. Today I feel much better, although still a bit tied. I exercised this morning so that helped wake me up. I only drink a double-shot latte in the morning before getting to work (around 8:30), but even that was enough to create withdrawal. It's scary that a drug has become so widely accepted as normal...
I feel like I have all the side effects while on caffeine. Guess there's no reason not to quit cold turkey.
The only coffee I injest is through the other end. Coffee enema. Before you laugh, I'm a cancer survivor and since 2006, I've coffee enema every other day and I maintained my weight (while I eat basically pescatarian diet) and my skin is always clear. I'm in my forties but strangers or new colleagues think I'm ten years younger...
Why a coffee enema vs. pure caffeine supplements?
Better Ideas The enema is just to activate the liver to cleanse my toxins. Our bodies accumulate a lot of toxins from the way we eat, our lifestyle etc and even though our liver is an excellent detoxing machine, they tend to be overworked when we continue to ignore them doing the things behind the scenes. I haven't researched whether taking caffeine supplement has the same effect though so I shall read up a bit more. Thanks for the query. Btw, I'm a new subscriber. Keep up the good work.
@@scdobserver835 How do you do coffee enema
Just saying I’d rather just live a bit shorter life than stick coffee up my ass
Wow that’s fascinating, you know I bet you still get a caffeine buzz from it though. Because those kids who put liquor up their butts get drunk 😵
I'm a three cups per day person...and that third cup at around 5 will sometimes knock me out. After drinking it for so long, it's having the opposite effect. Actually, I don't really feel any energy boost from drinking coffee. I just like the ritual of it. But I definitely wouldn't mind getting back that daily 100 calories from the cream.
You forgot to mention the massive headache. I only drink 1 or 2 12oz cans of diet coke a day and if I don't have at least 1, I get a massive headache with mood swings and shaky hands. It takes me 2 weeks to withdraw from that small amount.
I've quit a few times and lost loads of weight. I'm planning on doing a fast from it again soon. But the way I see it, I don't smoke or drink or any other drugs, so such a little amount isn't that harmful compared to others I know. I know people who go through 24pks in 3 days or less. I would hate to be them trying to withdraw.
I came here by myself
I have been drinking coffee for about 4-5 years, 1 or 2 cups a day and I have experienced on myself that coffeine is really bad for the body. For example couple of weeks ago I wasn't drinking normal coffee for 2 or 3 days, only 3in1 and after that it felt so horrible when I drank a little coffee again. My heart rate was high and I felt like fainting and my whole body was shaking. Before this I often felt a strange shaking in my heart as if it was arithmetically beating but I didn't really care about it. As a cons I decided to stop drinking coffee immediately. I know that it also has some good features but the bad ones are really serius. Maybe, it might play a little role in causing a lot of people heart problems and fatal heart diseases.
That s exactly whats happend for me
15 days of caffeine free, how long it needs to fully detox from caffeine?
I find the easiest way to quit drinking coffee is switching it to black tea for a week and then another week to green tea that has even less caffeine. At least for me, tea keeps the withdrawal symptoms away but has not enough caffeine to get me addicted.
Yes! I was thinking of trying something like this. Somehow I've never found tea addictive, there's just something about coffee. As long as tea can stave off the headache and most other side affects, I'm good. Might throw in a decaf if I'm really craving that coffee taste. I'm gonna try this, thank you 😊
I quit coffee for one year., My sleep quality was so much better.
I’m 15 and i have been addicted for 4 years
Since i was i child i couldn't sleep i was i night owl .. So deppressing to see everybody sleeping when i could't and now with coffee i think its getting worst
I am now about 36 hours without caffeine. My goal is do go 30 days and see how it feels. I have a little headache and I noticed that I am more irritable. I think it varies to person to person, whether you should quit or not. This is something you know. I know, that I have to.
stop trying to get people to quit caffeine
I've almost entirely quit caffeine over the past year, though I still eat chocolate and drink soda on occasion. I've found that I can now go to sleep more easily and at an earlier time.
Paradoxically, quitting caffeine made it easier for me to wake up and feel refreshed.
I quit weed and nicotine but I can't quit caffeine
Clean and sober from booze 30 months now, and my caffeine consumption definitely increase in that period, it is time to give that up too. I am tired of the energy swings as you mention. Although I know it will be tricky, I think it is safe to say that it won’t be anywhere near as hard as getting sober from alcohol, we shall see!
I have 1 espresso hot in the morning just black.
Then brush my teeth right away and that’s that.
I understand how some drink 8 cops of coffee a day ouch’ that’s a problem lol
today i drinked 7 cups so thats not a problem right? only 8 cups
Coffee is freaking awesome. Why not have it on Wednesdays and Saturdays instead of never? Life should be good!
Probably because most people will relapse
Moderated use of caffeine is definitely the way to go, twice or 3 times a week is perfect. Although, I would recommend first quitting it cold turkey for a month if you've abused the substance like I have (6 cups coffee a day) so in order to restore your adenosine receptors to normal levels. This way you get to have normal energy levels like a non-caffeine drinker would but still get to utilize the substance once or twice a week whenever it would be most useful, best of both worlds really
I think this guy is taking about people who are seriously addicted and probably need to quit full stop
My brain tries to trick me into thinking caffeine is good for me
How to quit caffeine - First, suddenly become hypersensitive to caffeine and welcome to a new world where a coffee will either be decafe or mixed with a valium to meet the anxiety/panic attack somewhere in the middle, the latter, although may sound nice later in the day, isn't recommended.
yeah i was thinking about getting into coffee
i think ill just not
I've gone cold turkey twice now. The third day of withdrawl was the worst, with awful headaches. After that, things started to improve, though I still felt mellow and down for weeks. I only managed about a month without coffee, and that first cup after the break felt absolutely amazing. I might try going with the decaf method next time.
Who os watching this video drinking coffee??? 😬🤦🏽♂️
Yu so uniq bro
Am so uniq too, am from future
Beware
Never made caffeine a regular part of my day and I'm still exhausted throughout the day
I wonder if coffee sales will go down some day, like it could be a trend that corrects once people learn that it's not desirable in spite of the initial effects
I quit caffeine 6 years ago. Replaced it with 4-5 liters of water a day and I’ll never go back. Combined that with only eating once every 24 hours and my energy levels are maxed every day, no crashes, no Headaches. My wife quit caffeine 7 days ago cold turkey and she looks 5 years younger.
I once drank 4 liters a day for one month but i had to pee way too often and quit
Erwin Schrödinger.. nope I just enjoy water and I feel great when I’m fully hydrated. I work outside year round. To me what I drink is normal.
Art Basement Nope. He's drinking 8 pints a day (approx) which is only about half a pint per hour. Thats optimal.
Art Basement Recommended by whom? 4 to 5 is optimal in my experience. Water is essential for mental focus and clarity , for mood as well as for the digestion of foods. The idea that 2 litres a day is enough is nonsense.
BluCllr So u internitten fast and stay hydrated, well i eat once a day. Counting macros, protein carb and fat.
And i also drink caffeine.
Because as long as you sleep enough, train, eat well and stay hydrated you can drink caffeine. Is is good at dieting etc
quitting caffeine was the best thing i done recently. not just coffe, all teas and dark chocolate also. it doesnt make us stronger it makes us weaker. much better without it
