What Happens To Your Body When You Stop Drinking Coffee (Minute by Minute)

The first thing most people do when they wake up in the morning is to have a nice hot cup of coffee to get them ready for the day. But after drinking coffee every day for an extended period of time the caffeine doesn't give you the same jolt it used to. So What happens to your body if you take a break from drinking coffee? Check out today's new video to find out!

If you want to quit coffee, switch to half caffeine coffee. After a week, reduce the amount of half caff for another week before quitting all together. This will avoid the worse withdraw symptoms.

I quit caffeine 3 weeks ago. My anxiety has lessened, I sleep more and am able to wake up earlier and without feeling awful. I stand by quitting caffeine and the good thing about it is there are a lot of caffeine free products.

(update: I haven't had caffeine in 9 months, still worth it)

(Update 2023: I Hadn't had caffeine for over a year until I started a new job and started drinking it again, I quit again and It has improved everything yet again)

(Update 2024: Caffeine free for 3 years and now back on it. Got promoted in my job and went full time. Started drinking caffeine heavily again. It helps with managing through the day but I find my sleep is suffering along with my mood. Should I quit again?)

I was a daily coffee drinker, I looked forward to it every morning. It took 2 weeks to finally feel normal again after quitting. Glad I did, I can think better and less stress/anxiety. It’s a drug folks, you all fell for it too.

Two weeks since I've quit coffee,
Cons :
I crave it sometimes
I feel a little deenergized despite being more productive (the lack of those coffee kicks )
I sleep one hour more
Slight Headaches from withdrawal
Pros :
No more digestion problems
I sleep early and easy
I wake up a lot more energetic and I don't feel dead in the morning
Reduced stress and anxiety to degrees I didn't think possible and I had never attributed those to coffee before.

Can confirm. I’ve been drinking coffee for 10 years straight now and just stopped. I’ve had splitting migraines and been nailed with existential crises all day.

I stopped drinking coffee months ago and I feel so much better, more productive and less jittery. My main motive to stop drinking coffee was because I wanted my teeth to stay whiter after I got them whitened professionally as well as maintaining a more youthful look.

This was so inspiring! I’m on day three of no coffee. I woke up an hour and a half ago and they already want to go to sleep. Before I reached for the caffeine, I decided to look up videos on caffeine withdrawals. This help me feel more normal.

[reqhart]

Came to this video as i'm day 4 of quitting coffee/soda and with a splitting headache, shakiness, anxiety and lethargic. This video gave me a lot of information I wish I knew when I was going to start this. The illustration of the guy on withdrawal looks how I feel right now lol.

You don't truly realize how bad caffeine really is for your body until you experience the withdrawal.

I quit drinking soda and stopped smoking cigarettes years ago. Think it’s time to stop drinking energy drinks! Thanks for the awesome video! Keep it up!

[chefpegleg]

Really I'm more concerned with what happens to other people when I stop drinking coffee.

Having just quit caffeine “cold Turkey” I can say it took about 9 days for me to return back to normal. I drank 3 cups of coffee and an energy drink every day. Day 2-5 are the worst. Put aside some time where you can sleep or rest whenever you need too for day 2-5. Hang in there! And Let’s go!!

Been drinking coffee since I was a kid and decided to see what happens if I stopped. I basically spent the whole day sleepy and unable to concentrate, slept for 15 hours straight (and woke up sleepy). This went on for about a week. Now, 2 weeks later, I think my body has adjusted. My goal is 4 months.

[chillaxter]

This is exactly what I experienced when I decided to reduce my caffeine intake to rare/occasional. It was awful, but so worth it! A single caffeinated beverage now gives me a valuable boost on special (1 time) occasions, stronger than the daily boost ever was. I also feel better and have more endurance for basic tasks than I did when caffeinated.

[Nurichiri]

I had to give up caffeine entirely due to anxiety. My withdrawal wasn't as bad just because it felt so good that my anxiety wasn't going off all the time.

[faye]

I wasnt able to sleep normally for almost 12 years (eventually I fell asleep but it took me about 3 hours and I was awake a lot). Chronically sleep deprived gave me a lot of problems. Tried everything and the medical professionals didnt found out what it was. Turns out: I process cafein wayyy slower than normal. Quit coffee and coke cold turkey and now I sleep like a baby. No more cafein for me!

[chester-stie]

I tried two years ago, in the summer to stop drinking black tea, I lasted for five days, had the headache for days 2-4, but returned due to not being able to sleep on night five (this made me feel a lot more tired).

I am now looking to quit again, have been reducing the amount, but now waking tired, tired for the rest of the day. Havent had the shakes, headache, or the rest as yet.

But even now my mood is better, and I do not feel bad as I would do on a higher amount of tea - I am quite sensitive to it.

This video is good as iy is quite detailed, and thorough.

For me, I used to drink coffee every single day for years. This was just because I liked it. I never really felt addicted to coffee, and when I stopped drinking coffee I never really had any symptoms but that’s just me.

[rossar]

it's almost 4 years since i stopped drinking coffee
trust me those guys aren't lying
best feeling ever!

[Suzanne-goes-Carnivore]

I stopped drinking coffee yesterday and because I had a mild headache today I wanted to look up some info and stumbled across this video. This explains the headache, which I usually never have.
Looking forward to keeping it up, bought some nice 'morning herbal tea' and just take it easy 😊

Quitting coffee for the new year! Strength to everyone on their journey
