I did the same thing, giving up coffee, alcohol and also sugar for about 2 years. I expected to feel superhuman but the truth is I felt basically the same, still often a bit tired on the morning - but I did get quite skinny.
- Ididntdothis 7y agoI always envy people who have these dramatic effects. I went vegetarian a few years ago and I don’t feel any better or worse. Same when I take marijuana. I feel a little heavy and dizzy but that’s it. Sometimes I wish I would find that thing that totally changes my life like other people claim to have found.
- seppin 7y agoThe big difference is when you stop abusing things like Coffee or Alcohol, if you quit causal use of either one I can't imagine the difference for your body being that much.
- mirekrusin 7y agoI guess you can experiment, for me chelated magnesium and sometimes l-tyrosine does the trick.
- kasperni 7y agoI hear you on magnesium, that thing is like a flip-switch on an overactive brain if you get the right type of it. What do you use l-tyrosine for?
- mirekrusin 7y agoI don’t know exactly why it works, may be related to vaping or something else, but for days when I’m lazy-brain dead-not motivated taking l-tyrosine on empty stomach seems to make me normal/productive again.
- kasperni 7y agoahhh brain fog, cool I'm going to give it a try.
- karmakaze 7y agoIn the the last couple months I've drastically cut down on my caffeine intake noticing more even energy levels. In the past two weeks I've been on a (not fully strict) vegan diet. The improvement has been dramatic, I have much more energy/motivation after hours and on weekends and started digging out stored equipment to sort through, use, sell, discard.
- jerome-jh 7y agoYou must not only avoid sugar but also food mostly composed of starch such as bread, pasta, rice, potatoes, and favor beans, peas, lentils and vegetables. Starch in processed food is hydrolysed into sugar very fast: it actually starts in the mouth where saliva contains amylase.
- jonplackett 7y agoYeah I did this - no white carbs at all and no bread. Like I say, I did get quite skinny at least!
- jerome-jh 7y agoWorked this way for Madam too. Weight loss is slow but real and durable. I had no weight to lose myself, and do not feel superhuman as well ;) except that I am no more hungry at 4-5PM.
