A bit of an aside: I cut caffeine out 8 months ago except for the occasional caffeinated coffee or coke. Felt great after the first week, even, and haven't looked back since.
- Eyas 9y agoI genuinely don't follow: "Cut caffeine ... except for the occasional caffeinated coffee" -- what does that leave? Do you mean you just reduced your coffee intake?
- adenadel 9y agoThe OP probably went from 1-3 cups a day to a single beverage once every couple weeks.
- sb8244 9y agoadenadel is correct. I am a coffee snob and will pour over or brew espresso every day. However, I switched out caffeinated coffee for decaf for all of the 6 months and have recently been tempted by some new beans. I'm really into trying different origins and roasters, which makes doing decaf hard over time. I probably do < 1 caffeinated beverage per week on average, and never drip coffee due to the caffeine content. Lately I've been having a bit more as I experiment re-introducing it with L-Theanine. The biggest reason I cut it out initially is a type of heartburn that I couldn't explain the source of. It vanished once I cut caffeine.
- Eyas 9y agoCool. Yeah-- I've had various stints with going with decaf instead, but (somewhat like you) the wider selection always pulled me back.
- diyseguy 9y agoI take regular breaks from caffeine and my quality of life goes way up, but my quality of work goes way down. :) Wish I could live without the stuff
