Every single video is the same. "I'm off caffeine!". Then at the end you learn they are drinking tea and the occasional coffee. Caffeine remains undefeated. Granted, greatly cutting caffeine is great, but it's been said abstinence is easier than moderation. Whenever I've quit coffee and switched to tea it generally works but those coffee cravings are still there. When I've quit caffeine 100% from all sources, that's where I notice the biggest differences and notice fewer cravings. Go big or go home. Or you're going to end up right back where you started in an endless cycle.
Well said. Caffeine is in tea, green tea, chocolate, certain flavours of ice cream, Yerba mate, and more. If you say you’re caffeine free but then still have a bit here and there you aren’t really quitting caffeine. Water is the only liquid we really need. Anything else is pleasure that ultimately leads to pain
I started drinking coffee in my early twenties and enjoyed it like no other. I loved the caffeine buzz, and I was only drinking one dose in the morning. Fast forward to my early thirties and I was still enjoying it with out the obvious downsides but I was having 2 doses sometimes 3 per day. In my mid to late thirties I had my first child and was working full-time and by now I was a caffeine addict and was consuming probably close to 400-500 milligrams of caffeine per day. This is when I really started to feel everything you mentioned, panic attacks, extreme anxiety, extreme thirst, almost like there’s a lump in my throat, jitters, eye twitching, terrible sleep, I wasn’t dreaming anymore, body aches, back aches, foot pain and on and on. I’m 47 now and last year I quit for 7 months, the longest I’ve ever stopped before. After getting over the withdrawal period and the first month or so I started putting myself in situations that would trigger my anxiety in the past and I found that I wasn’t triggered like before. I wouldn’t say I’m cured of anxiety, but it’s a heck of a lot better than before. I did go back to it after those 7 months for about 3 months. What I found is that the negative effects came back nearly right away. I think coffee is probably fine for about half the population. I read somewhere that about half the population is a slow metabolizer of caffeine, which makes sense why some people experience big problems with it and some people don’t. I think it’s a lot like alcohol in a way. Use it on occasion if you want to or can, just know it’s very addictive and it’s so easy to fall back into the daily routine and once you go daily it’s usually only a matter of time before you overdo it with multiple doses per day. Probably better off just to stop it altogether.
"Everything in moderation" Do you do cocaine once in a while? Lsd? Smock crack once a week? If ppl understand that coffee is shit, why moderation is a good option? Enlight me
Sometimes a little crack just to take the edge off, but good question. Humans are faulty and are going to do things that are bad for them regardless. By doing those things in moderation you can nullify some of the severe side effects. Obviously there's a few extreme exceptions, but in general.
I have a similar reaction to coffee and I don't even drink in it excess, just one cup will do a lot of damage. It gives me severe anxiety and insomnia and my life improved a great deal after I quit. I'm so angry at my self for taking a decade to realize that this stuff was more like poison to me than an aid. I still fall into the trap occasionally because I miss the taste and the socializing aspect of it (chatting over a cup with coworkers in the office) but in less than a week I remember very well why I quit in the first place.
Exact same experience! Looking back I realize that coffee is what catalyzed all my chronic health issues and auto-immune issues. I know this because now that I've stopped coffee, they've all disappeared.
I love your humor throughout the video! I just started giving up caffeine and feel the difference. I used to drink 2 cups of coffee in the morning and 2 teabags later on, which accumulated to no more than 400mg of caffeine a day. I cut out the coffee, dropped down to the tea only and now only have 150mg. Tomorrow, I switch to one teabag which is 75mg and then within 7 days, I'm just done with caffeine. I've tried cold turkeying caffeine plenty of times but always gave up because it caused massive sadness/feeling depressed and pounding headaches. So far, I have noticed I actually have more energy throughout the day. I think it's because I sleep better now and from what I've read, caffeine can interfere with the absorption of nutrients which can also cause low energy. I'm just happier now. I also realized you don't need caffeine to live a healthy life. You just need sleep, nutrition and exercise. Nothing can replace those, especially caffeine.
Quit coffee helped me as well. A lot of permanent medical issues went off in just a few months. Different, much better life without coffee. Everyone should check by themselves - just wait three months to free the body. It is worth it.
Imagine how many simple steps people could do to GREATLY improve their health: quit coffee, all sugars (honey, agave etc), wheat (preferably) and start juicing beet, carrots, cabbage, ginger, drinking homemade kefir and making sauerkraut.
if you didn't like the taste at first but later on you did enjoy it is the same effect cigarettes have on you, first it tastes really bad and suddenly you get used to it
My doc couldn't even tell me that melatonin was a hormone, and itbwas spiking my prolactine to double the refference range, had to find out myself... fuck this matrix.
I used to drink 3-4 cups of coffee a day and suddenly 1 day it triggered a severe panic attack which i never had. I cannot drink coffee at all as it triggers panic attack with extreme anxiety for couple of weeks for no reason
Great video! Caffeine sensitivity is a real thing! Some people can be totally fine on like 5 cups a day, and others feel like having a heart attack after 1 haha
My follow up comment a year later is coffee is my enemy. I tried to drink it again and I got gastritis. As someone with a sensitive bladder (I.C.) and stomach it is off the menu. For good. The bonus is you feel calmer. Social anxiety is better off it too. All the best everyone.
Coffee was a backbone when labor used to be physical as it aids physical activity. Nowadays when labor is mostly office, coffee does more harm than good unlrss you work really long hours
I have stopped drinking and eating caffeine for years... Yes, chocolate too, I had severe panic attacks and suffered a lot from my (agoraphobia) Stopping like this worked enormously for me and helped me in my recovery processes... so much so that it went away and in the background my fears disappeared... yet you forget that progress or something.... SO... 2 years ago I started drinking coffee again, it started with iced coffee... then regular coffee, then energy drinks. .. conclusion... The fears came back, and the restlessness in my body increased my phobia... and now I am reducing it again... and now drink the caffeine free coffee... OR green tea. .. There is another substance in it that causes caffeine to have a different effect on you. So I find it very interesting to see what it does to you.
Oh wow I relate. I had crazy frequent urination and high urinary output on coffee. Then I tried CBD , which just worsened the diuretic effects. Off both now. Much better! Great video
I went seven months caffeine free in 2020 during the quarantine. I’ve had it on and off since then. I’m currently two weeks into abstinence. Very nappy today. I only drank a cup most days. Many sleepless night the past decade. It’s an underrated drug.
19 days since last coffee. Energy levels not back to normal yet but sleep improved. 75 days of no alcohol also... coffee was much harder for me but then I did not drink that much alcohol. Plan is 365 days for both, then I decide if I continue to be abstinent for good.
4 months off coffee. Still feel the desire rarely, but only on my rest days where I do not exercise in the morning. Wonder when it stops ? After 1 year?
@A S thanks for the response! I meant the @ for you. Congrats on making it so far. I’ve only gone 2 months caffeine free, then try to do 1 cup a week and stumbled back to daily. You feeling better? I always play the “gamble” once I start to feel ”better” after a month or so. I guess I just have to realize better is not always amped up lol
Try switching to fresh pressed juices! I also would get crazy caffeine withdrawals when i quit but getting veggies and natural sugars in the morning helps a lot esp as a better alternative
Great video! May I ask what camera and lens do you use? The quality is brilliant and also the whole production and sound effects! Good job! Also, a new subscriber here! :)
Aww thank you so much Elina ❤️. It means a lot! Sorry this is a bit late, but I use a Fujifilm XT-4 with 3 lenses (sigma 18-35 f/1.8, SLR magic 12mm prime, & a Helios 58mm f/2)
Coffee isn't to blame.. Quantity (size of the glass/cup) and frequency is where the problem is. Traditional Eastern cultures, if they do drink coffee, drink a small glass of it.. in the morning with breakfast, and then at about 5 o'clock in the evening. I've felt this was beneficial, enjoyable and not harmful at all. But modern cultures, especially adopted from the West, drink gigantic jugs of it (they call them "cups"!) and several of them throughout the day, even, insanely, at night. That's not drinking coffee, that's just being addicted to mad quantities of it, to a level that people can't function without it. Its addiction. I doubt coffee is to blame when had in those mindless quantities. And it's high time people realise the size of the coffee "cups" they have are dangerously big. Either fill them only to less than half, or throw away those cups entirely and buy healthy sizes. Bigger is definitely not better, in this case.
day 4 weaning myself off coffee, I'm at 1/6 coffee and 5/6 herbal coffee Teeccino - a little bit of a headache this morning, but I slept sooo well last night!
Also, caffeine blocks your adenosine receptors, which are what helps you feel tired as the day goes on. Sure, this makes you feel more alert and energetic, but then it can interfere with your ability to feel tired at the end of the day, resulting in sleep problems. I am not preaching; I also drink coffee every day, but not a lot, and I have been researching it, and working on quitting it in the next few days to give myself better sleep and save some money (cuz those Starbucks Frappuccino's are expensive!)
Hey listen, get some Celtic Salt have a bit on your tongue before half of cup of water. Repeat everytime you leave a room. Carry the Celtic salt w you thru the day, peace
I'm not sure I'll ever go this step. Though, there is a lot of truth in what you contemplate. Abusing coffee for pseudo productivity and efficiency doesn't seems like a smart thing to do.
"for some reason..." Coffee is a diuretic. The other liquids in there may keep it from dehydrating you, but it still might make you pee a lot, especially if you drink a lot in a short time. It can also have a laxative effect for some people.
I have same your symptoms panic attack while driving or sit on office or gaming and can’t do workout because lightheaded and dizzy feel like going to faint and panic attack and ear ringing this my 13 days my sleep improved energy a bit my focus better but still my brain in sleep mode I know my brain cry want caffeine I push hard because the result ❤ and I want back same before without suffering
Thanks for that video. It's like coffee never had a bad day and it's awesome for everything. But there is no other thing that exists like that. I wonder if the 500 billion dollars/ year it generates impacts public opinion 🤔
It’s amazing how people say they quit coffee and then say they still drink it!!! I haven’t found a video yet that is telling the truth. What’s up with that?
