Need support quititng coffee. Secondarily, dairy and unatural foods.

Need support quitting coffee to be a more peaceful individual!
It's always available in the house I live in and seems so difficult to quit taking!
Also unhealthy foods. I am broke right now so ca't afofrd to eat my way but begin work next week so that should help but I was hoping maybe someone had some good ideas or shocking statistics to help me out.
Thanks.

 

i have no shocking statistics... well, ive heard them but i dont feel like digging them up but i mean, i havent drank coffee but 5ish times in the past yr. and i feel sooo much better- and actually have more energy then before.

in the morning instead of coffee, just drink some juice and have a good breakfast instead. it works much, much better.

 

yes I know and the coffee addiction in the world is really disgusting and psychotic but probably not as bad as the tweak addiction lol

 

I'll continue drinking green tea because it lacks the bad health attributes of coffee I believe.

 

You don't necessarily have to quit coffee totally...at least I didn't. I just cut back...way back. Like I haven't had any today...and my max is like 4 cups a day. I used to be worse. Heh. I do feel better though, now that I've cut back. Lots of water and tea...that'll keep ya away from coffee.

 

Isnt two or less coffees a day actually quite good for you??

 

You may wish to try to instead cut back a couple of cups a day for the first few days. At that time for each cup of coffee you would of had instead have two of water. Avoid having fruit juices unless they are lemon or grapefruit as that will help to detox your system.

You do not wish to have fruit juices that have high sugar content as that with the withdrawal from the coffee will make you feel rather crappy and the headache the combination of sugars and withdrawal will give you is not pleasant.

Good luck

 

You can go with some chai tea or something... it has a third of the caffeine that coffee does... Peppermint tea also wakes you right up, and has no caffeine. Fruit in the morning does the same to wake you up in the morning than coffee does... and it's natural. Try loading your fridge up with some fruits, and make yourself a smoothie first thing in the morning with 3 or 4 fruits... it fits well in a travel mug and you can take it to work....

 

That's a good idea about the smoothie!!! I should try that. I've heard that pepermint tea is pretty good, too, but I've just been drinking earl grey and such...I should get some pepermint!

 

quitting coffee was the hardest thing ever! quitting alcohol was waaaay easier, and that shocked the hell out of me. i have got the coffee addiction BAD. its not just caffeine, either; i hardly ever drink cokes. its GOT to be coffee. ugh.

 

Yeah, I always pick like coffee over coke...

 

Thanks for the feedback and ideas I will pull into.

Not drinking any coffee today 'cause I am back to work soon and would rather be calmer so I will of course make an exceedingly strong and rich cup of yerba mate(green tea) to bring with me! yummy yummy yummy

I have heard that more than one cup of coffee a day will cause stress hormones to be released in your body; but that green tea has protective nutrients or some such that prevent its caffeine from having similar effects even if you drink strong green tea(3 or 4 tea bags a cup is quite good in my book) often.
Coffee having beneficial effects? No way, LoL, besides the speediness. No vitamins no nutrients etc and it has an ill efect on vitamin B complexs in the brain(memory). Very yummy too! hehehe

 

I heard it fought against cancer or something...I dunno.

 

mate's good. it's still a stimulant though, so if your goal is calmness you might want to pick something like chamomile to make into tea.


coffee's an antinutrient. it's bad news. mercola has a lot to say on the subject.

 

Yea green tea is a stimulant and maybe some day I will quit but over the past years I used alot of psychedelics and cannabis and now that I have quit the yerba mate provides an excellent boon to my thought processing clarity(I also drank it over those years). I'd rather hold on to that for awhile, and start hitting up some ginko bilboa as well soon as I get some cash! Very yummmee.

 

Green tea is a stimulant? Is all tea a stimulant?

 

What is Mate?
