After reading the book “Caffeine Blues” by Stephen Cherniske, M.S., I quit coffee after 40 years of usually 2 cups daily. I’m in my 4th week now caffeine free and, feeling better each day. I don’t consume anything with caffeine anymore. Caffeine is extremely detrimental to a person’s health in so many ways. I’ll name just two things out of a long list, it restricts blood flow in the veins to the brain & eyes resulting in brain fog & decreased vision. Initially after a cup of coffee, a person feels energized and more alert then, when the caffeine wears off, low energy & brain fog set in then, you want another cup as a pick up and, before you know it, you’re addicted. Once you finally quit caffeine, your blood veins open back up allowing blood to flow normally to your brain which, temporarily causes headaches. Once you adapt to the normal blood flow again, the headaches go away, brain fog goes away, energy level increases and, you’re on the road to much better health. Of course you must not be consuming junk food (SAD) and eat a real, whole food diet, no sugar, low carbs, daily exercise, intermittent fasting to control insulin and, get enough sleep nightly. Life can be so much better without caffeine.😊

Quitting coffee is easy I've done it loads of times 😃

[BrowncoatBlue]

I just quit it this year! Man, the headaches were so bad the night of the second day going into the third. 😂 But I made it through, and doing great so far two weeks in without caffeine

[evanmotions]

congratulations! i also quit coffee 6 months ago, for me the first 2 to 3 months were absolutely brutal on my mood and energy. Now im totally fine, even better really. all the best

[Jokamole]

Well done! Quitting any stimulant is very difficult.

[lisawalton]

Well done Sarah! I just kicked the caffeine habit too. What really helped me was the audio book by Allan Carr. I listened to the book as I went to sleep and woke up thinking I don’t drink coffee! Went to Starbucks with my partner and did not want my usual daily coffee 🫢❤

Welcome to the club. I love coffee but can't drink it due to anxiety and overstimulation of nervous system.

I tried to quit many times last year, but always went back to it.
I've been having caffeine daily for years (Yerba Mate 🇦🇷).
I set myself up for eating only meat, salt and water for the whole year. No caffeine and no cheat meals.
So I'm two weeks off caffeine. On the first week not only did I have strong headaches, but slept around 2 up to 4 hours naps for three days in a row.
Now for the first time in a long time, I don't crave caffeine at all.
I do have some sugar cravings from time to time but I'm really focused on my goal of Meat, Salt, Water for the whole year. I know 100% I'll make it. 👌

[Mark_Linford]

Congratulations Sarah 🙂 I have done the same recently .

[SteakmanTexas]

I quit caffeine a year ago and decaf 5 months ago glad to be rid of that addiction.

[OGAesthetics]

[jacquelinefaulkner]

I been 20 days caffeine free. I drank a lot ..only had one day of headache next night woke with pain from my hips to my ankles which took about 4 days to completely go away have no desire to go back..

[Mr._OMEGA]

Nice. ! I've been off coffee for 10 months now. Soda was even worse for me. Now I drink Topo Chico water whenever I need that carbonated water feeling.

[minutefitness]

What made it stick this time? Crossing 10k subs. lol. Congrats!

[briankelly]

When I quit it's a two to three day headache!

[JuliaD]

Coffee is social for me and I genuinely do just enjoy it. I can go without it easily, but I do look forward to my delicious morning cup. I imagine I am in the minority here, but I have no plans of giving it up 😊

[karimlours]

I unfortunately fell off the wagon and now I am on and off this damn coffee even though I know about the risks. Yeah the headaches were so bad for the first three days that I ended up taking migraines pills 💊. The good side of carnivore is losing interest for alcohol. Haven’t had a sip for months and I am honestly surprised 😲.

[gothcha]

Bravo Sarah ! Félicitations! J'ai vécu le même parcours que vous. J'ai dû m'y reprendre à plusieurs fois pour arrêter cette drogue dure (extrêmement dure). Arrêter le café a été aussi difficile que d'arrêter de fumer. Mais j'y suis arrivée il y a 3 ans et je ne reviendrai jamais en arrière. Le café me faisait beaucoup de mal. Je trouve toujours que l'odeur du café est tout simplement divine, mais je n'ai plus envie du goût ni des effets. Encore bravo! Je me permets de vous écrire en français car je sais maintenant que vous le comprenez bien :)

[AndreasNilsson]

I quit 2 weeks ago. The first try I lasted for a month. But this time will be the last. My newly started carnivore gives me so much energy anyways.

[ronburgandy]

Think of this world without caffeine ? The amount of A holes would be far higher then it currently is now haha
