Over the weekend felt like I couldn't really focus, so I caved yesterday (day six) and had a cup of tea in the afternoon around 4:30 pm. I was sooo wired the rest of the evening and couldn't sleep till 3am.
That's it. I'm back off the caffiene. Starting .... now. |

switch to tea. it still has caffeine, but it is better for you. |
Actually, I've read in many places that coffee contains more anti-oxidents and helps prevent various cancers, more so than tea. It also helps you loose fat if you drink it before working out. This is ofcourse, if you drink it black, not by getting a mocha or some ridiculous surgur drink with barley any coffee. |

I got off caffeine cold turkey. You just have to say that you arent going to drink it any more.
I was at the point where I had 1-2 cups of coffee in the morning (i really never warmed up to the taste) and a coke during the day, one with lunch and one with dinner.
I just didnt like the way it made me feel so I quit drinking it other than the occansional jack and coke;) |

| Call me shallow, but I quit drinking coffee because I didn't want my teeth to become stained. I drank it black. I'm sure one of the reasons besides that caffeine jolt was the strong, bold taste. Now I'm addicted to 100% unsweeted Cranberry juice. It can be hard to find, but try your organic section, which means it can be pricey. It'll knock you off your feet. 20x that of espresso, plus its great for you. |

Maybe I am misreading here, but does this mean that cranberry juice contains caffeine? I was not aware of that! |

Noooo nooo. It's powerful! I was stating that I thought that's one the reasons I loved coffee so much. |

i only have one small cup in the morning and i usually do half and half with decaf and regular. then i make sure to drink at least 2 cups of water the rest of the day.
oh and estella, just get those crest whitening strips. they actually really work. i bought a box and after using them just 3 times in a row, i could see a difference. the only thing that sucks is they make your teeth a little sensitive, but that's why you gotta just break it up and not do the whole box right in a row. |

I quit caffine cold turkey in January. Its really hard for about5-7 days, you feel tired, cranky, get headaches....after you start to sleep better, more chilled out, you can imagination tends to work alot better. I can almost literally jump out of bed in the mornings now.
All i drink is Green tea or fruit teas with no caffine. Makes you feel really good. I find green tea brewed straight from the leaves is like 2 cups of coffee, but its more refreshing rather than a buzz. |
