Thread: Who gave up their caffeine?

Quote: Originally Posted by Cleveland I compromised.

For me, daily AS was hands down the single worst staller. I now maybe have a packet a week in various recipes and do fine. This is *good* Luckily, I was never one to want any kind of sweet in my coffee - so I didn't have...

Meh I keep both, I don't try and be perfect, because the more I dwell on some of the little things the bigger the chance of me not looking at the big picture and ending up falling face first into a bowl of m and m's.

I'm trying to water it down these days, though, because I hate drinking water straight,...

Not me. 1 cup of espresso with 2 TBS 1/2 & 1/2 every morning. I gave up bread, wheat, sugar, grains, etc. I did not give up alcohol (usually a galss of wine or two a couple of times a week), coffee (as above), dairy, occs SF soda, and an occasional low carb SF candy (like a Russell--OK--so shoot me, but better than a real one). I figure this is for life (or it should be) I've got to live with this and how am I going to live like...

Not me either. I have never been able to give up a cup of tea in the morning, even when I was pregnant. The tea isn't so bad ... I really do need to give up the Diet Pepsi. Weaning is the only way to break the caffeine habit. Caffeine withdrawal headaches are incredibly horrible!

I have not given up my coffee but I have cut back from several pots a day to about 3 cups per day. I like mine really, really strong with heavy whipping cream. I'm losing weight, the coffee and cream is not causing cravings, so I'm keeping it in.
