This video is pretty different from my normal content but definitely one that I've wanted to make.
Recently, I decided to quit caffeine cold turkey. For as long as I can remember i've had an addiction to Soda & soft drinks both high in caffeine & sugar.
Drinking these drinks literally fuelled my day to day life & my body built up a dependence on them to make it through the day. My overall productivity started to suffer as I'd find myself in and out of peaks and troughs of energy & motivation.
After joining a gym & finally wanting to get myself together, I knew that quitting caffeine (& sugar) would be a big part of the process. I decided that for me, weening myself off it wasn't going to work so I decided to quit immediately.
The caffeine withdrawal symptoms I encountered lasted around 2 weeks & mainly consisted of drastically reduced energy levels as well as frequent & prolonged headaches, sometimes migraines. Also, just a general lousy feeling whilst my body was freaking out wondering where the caffeine went.
Since then, My life has changed drastically - the main change being that my daily energy is maintained & consistent throughout the whole day, I don't have highs & lows. My sleep has improved, as soon as my head hits a pillow i'm out like a light! & now I naturally wake up bright and early, already full of energy ready to hit the gym for a morning workout. No more lying in bed too tired to get up after struggling to sleep.
Overall, I just feel great. As a result my mood has improved & I'm a lot happier.
I hope this video helps anyone else battling with caffeine addiction. It's changed my life in 1 month & I'm loving the change.

@pronatalist6967 2 года назад

I quit caffeine for a month. My first cup of coffee after this I felt intense euphoria, a huge energy spike, and then a crash afterwards. I never experienced this when I was drinking coffee every day, like you said I just drank it to feel normal. Caffeine is a POWERFUL drug, but caffeine addiction is considered normal and acceptable in our society because it helps people cope with work life and poor sleep. We should all be cautious of any drugs we put into our body. Addiction, even to caffeine, creates a dependency which can affect all aspects of our lives.

@@nikolaim4274 that's a big change, from 5 cups coffee, to drinking green tea. Much healthier and less of the addictive caffeine in it.

@lionatticus9743 2 года назад

@@xFlared I’m afraid that for someone like myself, who was intaking over 900mg of caffeine per day for quite a while, cold turkey would knock me out for at least a week. Working would not permit for me to do so. I’ve been tapering down. I’m at 100mg per day now, and have been for a few days. I’ve had pretty intense back pain and a bit of spasms just from bringing it down from 300mg to 100mg. Overall, I feel better for most of the day, and the sleep is already better.

@@lionatticus9743 Last summer my daily intake was 1300-1500mg/day. Mostly from energy drinks, energy drink powder and soft drinks.. Over the last year I have went through the reduction cycle 7 times. Reduction, withdrawal and relapse. Every single time. Once I got my caffeine intake down to 100mg/day this past month I decided to quit cold turkey. I quit Tuesday morning and have been going strong now. I've had a migraine since that same morning and got extremely sick Wednesday, but with support from my wife, my doctor and a lot of water I've managed to keep pushing. When you get to that stopping point you kinda just have to jump. And don't look back. It will really benefit the rest of your life.

@xFlared 3 года назад

I quit while working in a warehouse. Waking up at 4 am and running and lifting thousands of boxes for 10 hours. One word. Withdrawal on top of all of this was brutal. Couldn't remember some of those days due to being so delirious from pain. One major thing I noticed is that my eyes feel wide awake all the time now. I think due to the vasoconstriction of caffeine my eyes after drinking coffee felt like there was sand in them. Every time I skipped coffee that feeling of heaviness and sandiness in the eyes would not be present. Kind of ironic since coffee should make you awake, not make you sleepy.

I'm 46 days sober on nicotine, I believe I have that addiction beat. 46 days sober on Marijuana aswell and those symptoms are gone aswell. I haven't quit caffeine until 16 days ago on new years, one thing I absolutely hate are headaches. So caffeine detox has been the hardest addiction to beat for me. I've been drinking green tea without realizing it had caffeine in it, but now that I know I just poured all I had left down the drain. Ever since I had my first child 7 months ago it's been weighing on me to be as healthy as possible, being addicted to something makes me feel like less of a man than I should be. I wasn't raised to be a bitch so if that mindset helps anybody it was worth saying. I hope you all take care of yourselves, we can beat addiction. 💪

My left nostril was always congested and for years I suffered from tension headache, blurry vision, panic attack and racing heartbeat (90 at rest despite being a competitive athlete). I stopped drinking my usual 3 cups of black coffee a day and all the symptoms stopped on day 1. Heart rate fell back down to around 60 as when I was younger. And thank God, apart from a bit of digestive issue I also suffered no withdrawal symptoms. I guess coffee is good for some but people like myself simply can't handle it. Now working on quitting sugar, alcohol and weed.

After a semester in College, I was taking Adderall and two 5 Hour Energy shots a day. 1 shot in the morning around 8 am, Adderall around 10, then around 3 pm, another Hour Energy shot, and driving home I would get sleepy, it was bad. So I decided to Cold Turkey stop, I knew what to expect as I have quit before, bad headaches, so immediately upon waking up on the first day I took some Ibuprofen. No headaches. I went to the gym and jogged a mile, my cardio needs improvement. By the 2nd day, I had this leg pain that I was attributing to the jogging, I just needed to stretch. No matter how much I stretched the pain would not subside. By the 3rd day, caffeine free, I was experiencing sciatica pain and it was bad, no matter which way I lay in bed in hurt. Plus the leg pain was greater. I did a little online research and found that this was a result of caffeine withdrawal. It was suggested to slowly ween myself off of it. I couldn't take the pain anymore, immediately made some coffee. Half a cup down and all the pain went away. An immediate bowel movement also forced me into the bathroom. Normally I'm pretty regular, taking fiber supplements twice a day. But as I recalled, it's been 3 days since I've been to the bathroom. Looks like I will have to ween myself off, I'll drink this cup then refrain until the pain kicks back in, and hopefully I will eventually quit. They say that coffee has antioxidants in it, yeah it does, but it ain't alot. I get more antioxidant benefits from 1000mg of Glutathione and Melatonin than coffee could ever give. Coffee ads hype up coffee like it's some kind of miracle, it ain't. It's like the cigarette ads in the 1950's saying, "it's harmless and improves asthma."

@anastasinscreed 3 года назад

I haven't consumed caffeine for whole 9 days already, it's day 10. No coffee, no tea, no hot chocolate, no nothing. In my household it's kind of a “tradition” to have some sort of hot drink while having a meal (it's usually tea) or just when you're having a break you go to the kitchen and make a cup of tea. And I like this “tradition”, I like the taste and smell of all those drinks but I've had less and less energy every day for several months now. It was almost impossible for me to concentrate on something that requires work of brain, honestly it was horrible. And I thought to experiment with caffeine consumption, I thought maybe that was the problem. Well, now I feel more energetic, that's for sure, and I started to gain my mental clarity back. AND now I actually WANT to sleep at about 10-11 pm. At 11 pm I'm half asleep already and HAVE TO go to bed. That hasn't happened to me for more than a year lol, I thought I wasn't able to go to bed earlier than 1 pm or sum anymore. It's no coincidence that before I started the experiment I physically couldn't make myself wanna sleep but now it happens naturally. And I'm so happy about it 'cause I've had severe problems with sleep for as long as I can remember. And now it's easy to go to bed I don't even do anything special for it to happen. And it became so much easier to get up in the morning. I am willing to keep it like that for at least several weeks more and see what's changed. I hope I don't give in 'cause with this change only I started drinking lots of water again, I exercise and go to bed at normal time and I procrastinate much, much less. Tysm for your video.

Coffee negatively impacts your rem-sleep so there are a lot of benefits from quitting. Without rem sleep we don’t burn fat as much as we would’ve done otherwise and we don’t get truly rested which in turn can increase anxiety.

I was paying hundreds of pounds on Pepsi max per month. I have been addicted for decades. I found I caffeine tabs help and take them only when absolutely necessary. As these are not particularly pleasurable no fizz no taste etc it hasn’t been that difficult to reduce the pills and they will keep awake when I need to. If I crave chocolate to an uncontrolled degree I may take a second pill as a maximum and the chocolate craving passes. Taking caffeine strategically is a much better option and I think my caffeine intake will just reduce by default as long as I avoid Pepsi and coke. I admire you for giving up like this, I just found that with cold turkey I wasn’t able to do it after several months.
