Giving up caffeine dropped my blood sugar scores by abt 15%- huge benefit for me
I have stopped drinking coffee. I feel much better without it. My life has improved since I stopped drinking coffee.
Another caffeine free benefit is you get to save money and time by no longer going to buy coffee and going to coffee places.
It gives you more anxious energy. You do more work but it teaches you to worry for no reason over time.
I quit caffeine after I camped in the woods for two days. I had massive withdrawal and headaches. I started thinking, 'Why would I take something that makes me feel like shit when I stop drinking it?'
@@jacquelinehorne6485 Do not give up! You're almost over the hill. If you drink coffee now, you'll be so angry at yourself. If you see it through, you'll feel better, sleep better, and have more energy than you've ever had. Stay strong!
@@jacquelinehorne6485 Sweet! You just did something most people cannot do: kick the caffeine habit!
Hey, give us a update:-)
@@AndreasFroehlich1985 Still coffee free!
@@jaco5187 Well done, do you recommend it?vI'm on my first week, for me it's really hard.
Less urination is a major benefit too. 😶
I quit coffee 3 weeks ago, now getting a proper night's sleep, anxiety is gone, just go cold turkey you won't regret it. Thanks be to God.
Amen to that
1. Less anxiety
2. Better sleep
3. More energy when needed
4. Healthier and whiter teeth
5. Nutrients absorption
6. Lower blood pressure
7. Balance brain chemistry
8. Better digestion
9. Better skin
check out the whites of your eyes after just two weeks of being caffeine-free!
Imagine all these pro effects just from not doing something. If this isnt a lifehack I dont know what is!
This is good🎉❤really, really good.
Lost all my strength and endurance in the gym , I quit coffee and now I am back to becoming a stronger version of myself. Coffee is a scam .
I quit caffeine 15 days ago I am right there with you I know exactly what you're talkin about I went from being extremely athletic to being lazy and not very motivated now I'm starting to become myself again I wish more people understood how dangerous this drug is
That's like saying water is a scam too. Caffeine is just a naturally existing product that more than humans consume and benefit from. Bodacious anecdote though
@terry brown everything has its downsides. That said, having coffee is far safer than riding a bike or driving a car out on the road.
It made me anxious so much my palms would sweat and my deadlift workout sucked when I quit I got more calm and did better.
@Veganpotter Thevegan Not really. Poison also exists naturally, so that's not an argument. The scam is in the fact that caffeine doesnt really give you energy. You dont sleep as deep, wake up tired, you drink coffee, makes you feel good for an hour or two and the cycle repeats. It's a scam.
I am caffeine free for last 4 weeks. And I am experiencing most of mentioned benefits ‼️ definitely worth it!
I'm on day 3 and I'm tempted to make the biggest cup of coffee I've ever had!
Caffeine free going on about 6 months. One if the best decisions ive made. Mainly did ut to improve my sleep quality. Pleasantly surprised with other benefits. Better digestion, balanced energy, possibley better skin but i did set up a new skin care routine. Once you completely kick the habbit you wont miss it. Ive always liked the taste of black coffeez so sometines i have a decaf coffee. 20 year plus Caffeine addict, so happy i gave that up!
was caffeine free one month the best days of my life I woke up fresh full of constant levels of energy all day was happy but then again got back to drinking Redbull which is so addicting to me , but I dont want caffeine in my life once u see what caffeine free living does to u u would never want to go back to caffeine
This is the only video on this topic that I've seen that's mentioned the inhibition of nutrient absorption and the development of collagen. Thank you for those key elements!!!! =)
One big thing I notice off caffeine is how much longer I can go between meals without side effects. If I'm drinking it, I get shaky/low blood sugar within a couple hours. This goes all day even if I only had coffee in the morning. The difference is quite noticeable. I've quit for months at a time and like a fool go back. Need to quit again. Thus trying to get inspiration here. Fingers crossed that this time sticks.
OMG I have the exact same issue. I am switching to decaf in 6 days. Doing mental preparation now. I am also a spastic, anxious, hot mess on caffeine
@@bryanjobo6906 I wish you the best of luck. You can do it. I have quit for months at a time. It was 2 months this summer and then got back on during vacation. Dumb. The difference in my life on vs off is significant. I'm weaning down now because it's significantly better OFF caffeine. Even with the headaches, fatigue, insomnia, blahness that can happen with initial withdrawal, it is worth the peace and relaxed feeling that comes right away. After a month I was great. If I could sum up the difference in one word, being off coffee equals RELIEF. When I'm on it I can't unbrace my muscles despite any stress relief techniques I know. When I'm off it's not just a mental relaxation but also in my muscles, my body. Wish me luck too and I'll revisit this to STAY off this time! I want to kick myself for getting stuck again. It's literally like drinking stress.
caffeine seems to affect my blood sugar as well. Makes me more hungry.
Wow ever since I reduced my caffeine intake I don't get fatigued the way I used to between lunch and dinner. I didn't think the two could be connected. This gives me more motivation to quit completely
Thank you for the tips. I’ve noticed that when I stop drinking coffee I get better sleep, but on days when I drink it, it affects my sleep and feel a lot more anxious
I've dropped caffeine altogether... except on race days in order to get that extra boost.
Yesterday I had a 1/3 cup, today was the first day with none. Took multiple naps, from what I have researched tomorrow might be worse. I want the reward of my brain going back to the way it was meant to be
Stay strong!
@@TJ.at.DimondBikes thanks 🙂
How are you now?
After about a week I was feeling good. I missed my morning high, but throughout the day I just felt more content, at peace. Took some naps after eating, but that is a good way to recharge.
Best way to do this. Only drink Coffee on Saturday morning.
Been thinking of doing this exactly for a while now
So, very weird , but people with GAD May find it builds more anxiety if they enjoy caffeine and building up to Saturday morning if that is the only time that are consuming caffeine
Thank you for sharing TJ! My on my 22nd of caffeine free now, and will try to stop coffee for good.
I’m on day one. Felt really tired during my daily run this morning. Wow!
Keep at it, one day at a time.
Anxiety, constipation and heavy periods. Goodbye regular coffee, hello decaf!
Great work 👊
Everybody here should contribute him for this amazing information
Been a week now no caffeine. I was taking 2-3 Jet Alert 200 mg caffeine pills for 10 years. I am already starting to feel much better.
another thing for some people is coffee, even black, can cause breakouts or irritate the skin
WOW! ❤
I only have one coffee a day it’s a treat small soy cappuccino no sugar yet it does cause anxiety I want to stop I’ve gone from large Capp to small last 2 years and only started caffeine at 40 years old so 14 years ago
It’s so hard stop sudden
Can u wein off ? If so how ?
Or how many days till I feel ok when quit solid at once xx
I tidied to half half of my small this last week I not mind head ache but it creates low mood for short period ?
Great video thank u 💕
Greatest advantage of being caffeine free is the time you save not queuing for your regular s'bucks every morning. If people totalled all the time they spent queuing for coffee and used it more productively they would be way ahead
Wow.. 😳
Many people cannot metabolize caffeine or stimulants. I cannot tolerate natural caffeine, especially brewed coffee or green tea, but can tolerate synthetic caffeine. I see people with anxiety drinking an energy drink (Red Bull, etc) and I cringe. There may be a correlation between inability to metabolize caffeine and a problem with anxiety. See: "Interindividual Differences in Caffeine Metabolism and Factors Driving Caffeine Consumption"
What is synthetic caffeine? From caffeine pills only?
@@bryanspicer90 Coke, Pepsi, energy drinks, pills, etc. Coffee (brewed, espresso, etc) and green tea are the only natural caffeines I know of
Pls turn down the music
I agree, it's annoying 😒
😂😂😂😂
please tell me I will sleep better.pleeese
I have, it sure is amazing to wake up at 3am and not be up and be able to fall back asleep and to be able to sleep in past 530 am.
Are those real pistols made into Ruster Sports barn door handles?
Ornamental handles only
I'm dependent on it to poop. And the problem is worse because of prozac.
Maybe you could take extra magnesium instead. It helps things along in that department.
@@The_New_Abnormal_World_Order nope. I've been drinking coffee to handle my business for years. Seen magnesium in videos and articles on the internet, never seriously thought about taking it. It's a cation with a plus 2 charge that's what magnesium is.
you don't have to do it cold turkey, you can go from some decaf, to some decaf and some no-caf drink like Teeccino, down to no caffeine at all, all Teeccino
Waking up is easier
2:50 "[extra sleep] reduces natural human growth hormone". Shouldn't that be "increases"?
Produces
Seems you accidently said additional sleep reduces natural growth hormone.
ok, I'll write nr 8 in my DIARRHEA, hue hue
I am NOT hitting any likes neither anything. One time watching is THE watching..
I use sugar free energy drinks 300 mg or more daily
Yeah you definitely look like you do
@@maxbielinski2276 lol 😂
What about green tea? Would the anti aging antioxidants in green tea outweigh the collagen destroying caffeine in it? This is something I’ve been wondering for a long time.
I would say it is probably net zero. You can also get antioxidants without caffeine.
@@TJ.at.DimondBikes what are your favorite sources of antioxidants?
@Simon Demirjian Astaxanthin is my all time favorite...it is also a natural sunscreen.
@@TJ.at.DimondBikes thank you so much for your response I appreciate it!
@@TJ.at.DimondBikes Exactly. People seem to think coffee and tea are the only things that have antioxidants.
lol. This guys gonna remind you he’s an athlete all the time. Too cool to look into the camera too. He isn’t wrong but just to me comes off in an unlikable way.
Drinking decaf is enough.
No it isnt. Still toxic
is there no talking just music
🤣🤣🤣
I don't get high anymore. Chocolate is for junkies.
Has anyone ever told you how much you look like Emiliano Martinez, the goalkeeper of the Argentinean national soccer team? 😮😅
I stopped watching because of the anoying looped muzak.
dont talk about my coffee
😂
