Here's the script with a link to a PDF with the sources used for this video: / 42271867
I decided to make this video after finally realizing that I feel better without caffeine when I stayed off coffee for several weeks. I noticed I was less anxious, less worried about smaller things and had a significant reduction in appetite.
One thing I try to stress here is that just because caffeine apparently gave me these different issues, you might not have them yourself. There is tons of individual variation in how caffeine affects people.
For business inquiries: Joseph.Everett.Wil@gmail.com
A couple people commented that coffee / caffeine *suppresses* their hunger rather than increase it like I was saying in the video. Actually, I agree with this. Actually when I was drinking coffee, I would set my intermittent fasting schedule to where the appetite suppressant "boost" of coffee would make it easier to get through those last 90 minutes of fasting. Yes, caffeine / coffee suppresses appetite at least temporarily.
However, *in my experience* (as stressed in the video, different people react very differently to caffeine and coffee), what seemed to be happening was that my normal appetite when coffee wore off was higher than usual. Though I did experience the appetite suppressant effect right after I drank it. At least for me, coffee isn't a free anti-lunch. While I do get a temporary appetite suppressant boost, the downside is that I have to pay for that with interest at a later point with a bigger appetite.
_“my normal appetite when coffee wore off...”_
See, that was your first mistake- you let the coffee wear off!
You’re supposed apply decremental doses of coffee to your esophagus in regular intervals so it never fully wears off.
Start by timing how long the effects of 1 strong cup lasts, then commit to drinking a new cup 15-20 minutes before the last one wears off. Constant caffeination is key!
I'm not sure if anyone else has made this comment but I noticed that you said you were fine drinking coffee with milk but still found straight coffee bitter. Perhaps it might actually be the milk if anything as regular full-fat milk has a lot of fat which could explain the weight decrease when you stopped and not feeling hungry after coffee temporarily.

Common issue here in the states.
I dropped a couple ponds of body weight _(nearly a whole pound of just fat)_ when I forced myself to only allow black/plain cold brew coffee and ‘black’ hot coffee
Coffee causes hypoglycemia... This causes tiredness and the need to eat...
This can be avoided by not drinking sugarless coffee... It's ok to add sugar to coffee... But milk is not necessary... Drinking milk with coffee is what causes the obesity....
If you are diabetic however... You should totally avoid coffee.
Also hypoglycemia is also responsible for the jitters in most cases... By adding sugar to your brew you can avoid this... Too much caffeine however will still cause jitters if you are a slow metaboliser... Just like how some people can't handle as much alcohol as other people... Like me 😅 I can't handle much alcohol being an indian but I can definitely handle my coffee ! But I do get jitters if I drink it without sugar and that's because of hypoglycemia...
I hope I was informative.
Cheers ! Learn, Experiment, observe, modify , observe and decide your yourself in life.
Ps i love your channel...
The best ting with this comment.

Yes, Real Engineering. Still mad about the lack of response.
I used to be fat and ugly.
But after I quit coffee, I'm only ugly now
Did you actually loose weight dropping coffee?
Ugly and confident
I drink coffee and I'm ugly and skinny👍
@@tobiasmosegaardholm9817 his conclusion 16:11
😅😂😂😂
My appetite is the opposite. When I’m drinking a lot of coffee I often forget to eat because I’m not hungry at all.
Same for me, a cup of black coffee in the morning is my breakfast
@@harku123 that's the worst thing for your stomach man
@@SRBOMBONICA86 why? Considering the pH of coffee is around 5 while the stomach is 1.5-3, the stomach is hundreds to thousands times more acidic than the coffee and in a normal, healthy stomach, that will balance out in seconds to minutes.
Coffee contains negligible amounts of macronutrients so it doesn't trigger release of bile from the gallbladder.
It's literally just a glorified cup of hot water with caffeine and trace minerals
@@harku123 MD here: coffee on an empty stomach can trigger gastrointestinal reflux. So if you are predisposed (history of stomach ulcer) or feel pain/burning in your oesophagus or upper abdomen, you should reconsider this habit of yours. In the end, that's not the worst thing you could do to your body though, you've just gotta know the risks
@@tommylizotte6697 Yeah by all means if it causes issues, avoid it, I'll always agree with that
I thought I had an anxiety disorder 20 years ago. I suffered from panic attacks, rage, difficulty sleeping, difficulty waking up, migraines, and itchy rashes on my legs. I weaned myself off coffee, and over the next two weeks ALL of my symptoms disappeared- it literally changed my life.
Lucky you. I had all that before beginning with coffee and tobacco. Also I began drinking coffee because of student pressure (I could not afford to sleep in order to study for those pesky exams) and then began smoking because of student stress. They probably didn't solve anything but I still think the deep causes are social-systemic and drug use/abuse is only a symptom.
ok,but how much coffee did you drink a day?
@@LuisAldamiz did coffee and nicotine help you focusing? If you had trouble concentrating on boring stuff and sleep problems as well you could maybe look into ADHD a little bit. Just a wild guess but we struggle with that especially.
Thank you for sharing this. I've been trying to figure out if my extreme sudden hungers, anxieity and occasional mood triggers could be from my morning black coffee. Sad, I love coffee very much! And I limit it only once a day. But still.
@@christalwong70I'd look into an ADHD diagnosis, too. Coffee can make the symptoms worse once it wears off and all of those are ADHD comorbidities. Of course that's just a guess but maybe it'll help you.
Things WIL has changed in my life:
- switched from coffee to tea
- eat more egg
- maybe worry less about meat than food waste
- got a kitchen safe for my phone and another for video games
- started doing the wim hof method and still do
- tried several low carb diets and still aim to avoid processed sugar and fructose
Keep it up!
@@alexcameron2880 if you'd actually watch his video you'd realize it's not about the caffeine but the other ingredients, including L-theanine that helps make tea less anxiety-inducing than coffee
@@alexcameron2880 That’s not even remotely true. Black tea (the highest caffeine tea) has an average of half the caffeine than coffee does. Green tea has even less, and white tea even less
You forgot putting your thumb up your butt and writing boring lists on you tube comments.
What exactly is a "Kitchen safe"?
Tea still has caffeine
I misread the thumbnail as "College makes you fat and anxious" and that would definitely be a true statement
That would make a great porn movie : "fat anxious co-eds"

It reduces appetite
likewise, I skip breakfast because of it and my first meal is lunch
If you suffer from anxiety consider quitting caffeine or switching to decaffeinated drinks. It makes a huge difference.
I have anxiety and depression, and while coffee does seem to elevate my anxiety a bit, at least I don't feel like sitting in a black abyss of death, so what the hell.
I totally get and for the most part agree with what you're saying. For me who has had anxiety since I was a kid the underlying mental illness would be affected by large amounts of caffeine but not by a standard or smaller portion. I've been on meds for anxiety and that basically knocked it totally out. Regardless of how much caffeine I have during the day it doesn't affect my mental health now even in larger quantities. It just gives me energy. Now getting acclimated to the medication OMG talk about jittery. Coffee never did that to me lol. Guess it's all about how people work isn't that weird? Without the meds if I had more than one caffeinated drink I did notice a more anxious day but with them it really doesn't matter. I dunno I'm Hella grateful for the meds lol.
Or just drink green tea, better than going cold turkey and it won't promote anxiety since it contains theanine.
@@Magnulus76 theanine ?
@@jimshock9114 Yes, it's a compound found in tea in small amounts. It promotes relaxation. Green tea is the best source.
So you want people to quit coffee by having all kinds of tasty coffee scenes in your video??
Those goddamn flavours and lattes makes me puke . Glad i'm caffeine free since last year
People are addicted to coffee
He’s presenting information. That’s not the same as crusading for people do this thing or the other. I don’t think he’s recommending or necessarily “wanting”, or trying to sway people to do anything.
I’ve been making matcha iced lattes at home and without trying I totally cut out coffee this week
I haven't had a coffee in weeks but I had to have one during this vid 😂
i literally just read a study that said caffeine reduces hunger.
"Appetite suppression. Caffeine may reduce feelings of hunger and your desire to eat for a brief time."
"Calorie burning. Caffeine appears to increase energy use even when you're at rest. It stimulates thermogenesis - one way your body generates heat and energy from digesting food."
I found that to be much more in line with how I feel after caffeine. It's crazy how it can have such a different effect on people. For you, it seems to make you gain weight, for me, it makes me lose weight.
The appetite suppression is not because of the caffeine, it has more to do with the coffee itself. You can have the same effect from decaffeinated coffee and missing the effect completely from caffeine pills.
About the calorie burning, there doesn't seem to be a consensus. Some studies claim that it helps and other that it doesn't.
It also depends on when you take the caffeine, in the morning the cortisol is useful but in the late afternoon/night it could be detrimental.
It definitely suppresses my appetite. It can be problematic because I will effectively skip meals then wake up very hungry early the next day.
Your quotings definitely apply to me. Coffee never would make me fat.
The keywords are "may" and "appears". This is also what he stated in the video. It varies by individual.
It can do either. I have experienced both.
I'm watching this on repeat because I'm going through caffeine withdrawal.
Hey Vsauce
I love breathing in the aroma of coffee way more than actually drinking it
Same here, I even love the flavor of coffee more than coffee itself in ice cream or other products
@@halcyon_echo42 Same with me.
I relate
Used to be me until I developed an acquired taste to black coffee
Sometimes I think coffee smells better than it tastes ❗💥
This is SO important. I'm young(ish) (29). I used to drink one regular cup of normal coffee a day for years, nothing special. It never made me jittery, anxious, or anything like that. One night I experienced SVT (supraventricular tachycardia, you can look it up) and had to go to the hospital. Since then, I had continuous chest pain over my heart and palpitations daily. I saw a cardiologist, asked if coffee could possibly be the culprit, and he said absolutely not because "one cup of coffee a day wouldn't cause my symptoms, and coffee is even cardioprotective." Long story short, I had a CT scan, an echocardiogram, countless EKGs and urgent care visits. All normal, no answers. FINALLY decided on my own to quit coffee entirely, which was hard because I really loved my one cup. Sure enough, every single symptom VANISHED. No more chest pain, palpitations, shortness of breath. I now drink decaf coffee everyday (sadly) as I love the taste of coffee. If I ever have even a sip or two of regular coffee, chest pain and palpitations come right back.
I just want to echo WIL in saying that everyone reacts differently to caffeine, and you know your body best. Plus, I definitely had no idea how much more relaxed/less anxious I'd be after quitting. Drink wisely!
weak
Thank you for sharing your story!
Wow, interesting.
I wonder if your chest pain is a severe panic attack? The caffeine overstimulates your nervous system?
I don't know if you consider this related but.. I used to drink a glass of red wine every night before bed. For years it was part of my pre-bedtime ritual. Then I started getting massive heartburn and histamine issues at night, it would wake me every 20 minutes for the entire night. Anyway eventually I cut the glass of red and the symptoms disappeared. I had a glass of red last weekend, maybe 3 years after cutting it out, and sure enough I was awake most of the night in pain. It's strange how these things reach a point where your body will just flat out reject it forever after.
Joke's on you i was already fat and anxious before i got into coffee
Go on keto
@@pendergastj meh.
He sad coffee may be exacerbating those problems. Experiment.
haha same
Giving up coffee was the best thing I ever did for my anxiety and my intestines. Too about 2.5months to fully detox. Worth it
Same! It took me like 3 months, to stop the cravings. But it was so worth it. My skin issues vanished as well after stopping coffee.
@@adskdhkkkkgfghjj5991 kindly guide me how you did you control your cravings for coffee??
@@mahimahi215 i replaced coffee with either green tea or black tea(with milk) whenever I got the urge to drink coffee.
You don't have to necessarily drink those but look for a tasty alternative that you like!
That way you don't have to interrupt your routine and it's easier to quit.
(After 6 months of no coffee) I do occasionally drink a cappuccino like once a month if I want to, but now I can enjoy it, instead of gobbling my daily 9 cups like an addict.
The best way to quit is to not be too strict with yourself! If you gave in, it's okay!
Yeah, I quit caffeine and nicotine at the same time. I’m far more mentally productive and less stressed, I did it after my wife had a panic attack after a coffee date, she rarely has coffee, she started having a panic attack while she was driving, we had pretty strong coffee from star bucks, something called a flat white which has about 300mg of caffeine. I did have some matcha green tea a couples months after i quit, and wow i felt like I was a wizard.
10months later, I drink one cup every once in a while. I noticed that if I stay under 100mg per day, I don't get withdrawls. I have swapped my coffee for no sugar, hot cocoa in the morning. Much less caffeine. Definitely a heathier choice than I had before.
As a published researcher and PhD in the biotech, I agree with your findings:
+ Short-term coffee is an appetite suppressant and has a positive effect on anxiety. (BTW Smoking also decreases appetite, yet there are major negatives associated with smoking.)
+ Long-term adaption to coffee (and caffeine in general) has the opposite effect increasing adenosine neuro-receptors, evidence does point to coffee/caffeinated sodas as a major factor in global obesity.
Summary
Coffees AND caffeinated sodas (even diet) everyday are too much caffeine. Most of us need to modify our behavior. For 2 months, try substituting decaf coffee on a daily basis, with a double shot of real coffee once a week. Save your caffeine to peak performance for a race, important meeting or deadline.
Sideline, I've been kinda surprised at how many people thought I was lying when I mentioned appetite suppression was a side effect of smoking tobacco. I thought it was a well known side effect. There was even a lady teaching classes in drug rehab who looked at me like I was crazy when I said it. I think if anyone should be educated about that topic, it should be have been her.
@@craigslitzer4857 Indeed it does, and just like people report with coffee/caffeine, when that appetite suppression wears off you're looking at an even bigger appetite when it wears off. So you're either chainsmoking or you're gonna end up eating more anyways. The takeaway is to not use tobacco for appetite suppression 😂
Also, in response to the original comment, could it not be possible for "coffee" being associated to obesity be partly explained because of how much junk and sugar people put on coffee nowadays? I mean half of all Starbucks "coffee" is pretty much a coffee-flavored milkshake
i like coffe cycling becouse when i eventually have it get a real high, no other drug puts me in such a great mood
I found switching to a real double shot after some weeks of only decaf really put the effects for me in harsh perspective and made me want to quit.
Honestly... The only reason I drink coffee is for the glorious bowel movements that come with it 😅
Yeah what's up with that? Sometimes nothing happens at all, other times you can't even finish the cup because it feels like someone put 7 laxatives in.
I googled it once and apparently no one actually knows why coffee can have that effect.
I think it is the adrinalin surge
Andrew Malcolm dudde, the same exact thing happens with me it’s so annoying
Why isn't there a band called The Glorious Bowel Movements?
You need to eat more fiber mah gay
Black coffee helps me fast longer.

And helps me deuce faster...the keto/fasting community have always green light coffee w/ some core adherents really promoting bullet coffee.
@@theterriblepuddle1830 lol u trolling
The Terrible Puddle depends what you’re fasting for.
@@theterriblepuddle1830
I disagree but just incase you're right, I always get at least 16 hours of water fasting before I drink coffee.
my experience has been exactly as you said. I've been off coffee for the last 3 weeks and my anxiety has vanished, I can sleep for 8 hours straight and when I roll out of bed I'm ready to rock n roll! And I don't need to eat as much to feel satisfied, have lost 2-3 kg in weight too
Could not lose weight for 20 years no matter what I did. Was a heavy coffee drinker. Quit coffee, and easily started to lose weight - 18 pounds. Got cocky, started coffee again. Can’t lose the last 15 pounds. Not budging at all. Will go cold turkey again tomorrow. Here comes the 3 days of headaches!
Cause u didnt drink it black duh
OP please confirm, were you drinking black coffee? is the prevention of weight loss from the coffee itself, or the additives like cream, milk, or sugar?
@@kori228 additives. Coffee literally has 5 calories a cup
@@divulgedspirit was asking OP @beeARTcanada
@kori228 so what it's a real life inarguable fact
I think its really weird how different coffee's effect on person to person, for me personally, coffee increased my focus, make me more social, and decrease my appetite
It happens to me as well! Im a social introvert and somehow drinking coffee give me burst of energy to socialize and communicate better with others
That's the exact same effect coffee has on me!
@@abe3765 Thats exactly why I love coffee too! I always feel socially sharper after a hot cup of coffee or even an energy drink.
i think that's the key to have it in social settings or work because if ur alone after a day of caffeine your mind will create 1000 things and stress you out
Just to give a counter argument, could that not be because you've drunk it for so long that going without it causes withdrawals and then the 'benefits' of caffeine are attributed to not getting those withdrawals? I say this because I drunk coffee regularly from the age of 8 to 21 and felt terrible quitting it at first but after awhile felt better than ever.
Coffee gave me acid reflux, depression, anxiety, pessimism, and it messed with my sleep. Been off of it for a few months now, doing a lot better
Can relate to your comment 100%
I had those same symptoms. The digestive issues are what made me quit coffee. I am more clear headed and even tempered, and my joint pain has decreased.
Interesting, I've been noticing acid reflux recently and it's quite annoying
Funny, I’ve been drinking coffee for years and I feel like a normal person. Everyone’s different I guess.

Right
Like you said, caffeine affects everyone differently. However, In my personal experience, when I was working at Starbucks, I gained about 30-50 pounds. I was active, and work kicked my butt because I worked during rush hour but I drank lots of caffeine. In a day, I would have about 8 shots of espresso. This is why I don’t think this information is far fetched
Starbucks drinks are loaded with calories. Were you chugging black shots with no sugar or were you adding aromas and creamers?
@@mikiii880 yes. Yes they are loaded with calories. My signature was a quad blonde vanilla soy latte. Yes it was a venti. Yes the estrogen from the soy fucked me up. And yes I regret it all lmao
@@2bit156 Welp I don't think caffeine made you gain weight in that case xD. It's like blaming the coke after eating 2 big macs and some loaded fries
@@mikiii880 lmao you’re entitled to your opinion. But say a drink is 300 calories and that’s what you drink. Then you drink multiple americanos and you get hungrier and hungrier. So riddle me this. How would the 300 calorie drink out of my allotted say 2000 calories a day make me gain weight? People on the internet are so cute. I love it.
@@2bit156 When you drink 4 of them in a day that's already 1200 calories
RE: the kid who died from caffeine. Drinking that much caffeine in 45 minutes is much different than drinking more caffeine but spread out through the day.

thats not even that much caffeine though 400mg is what he had and that wouldnt do all that much to me. It's more than id need and i might feel a bit jittery MAYBE but it rly wouldnt have that much of an effect its weird how much it varies from person to person
I drink that much caffeine in 30 min on the daily

Great video as always. Definitely anecdotal, but I find I eat less when caffeinated and it actually suppresses my hunger
Suppress my hunger as well but make me more anxious. There is why I have decaf but even so I'm somehow anxious. I'll try to quit at all to see how is working
Same... coffee is my breakfast
@@m.p.4515 Agree. If I space out a couple of coffees I can easily fast 18-20 hrs. My best workouts have always been fasted and caffeinated.
Strange that coffee would make him hungry. Stimulants generally have the opposite effect because stimulating norepinephrine releases glycogen from the liver which is why you feel energized. Although I guess the crash effect could make you eat more..

@@MeatCatCheesyBlaster you weren’t born drinking it. Change the language you use when talking to yourself, and you’ll be surprised about what you can “do” if you say you can do it.
Time for an anecdotal comment. I used to enjoy brewing my own coffee at home, but unfortunately I’m one of those people that has an early morning job and can’t get to sleep before 1am despite my efforts. So for the best part of my life I sacrificed my morning brew at home to have more time getting ready for work. Since I don’t like spending too much money at coffee places, I skipped having coffee outside of my house or at least tried reducing it to maybe 1-2 espressos a week. Fast forward until a couple months ago when the lockdown started and I was drinking half a litter of coffee every day. First my circadian rhythm was thrown off by never seeing sunlight, then I started going to bed at 3am and getting up for early web meetings at 8am and of course coffee was my go to drug. I got progressively stressed out while doing my job, I put on a lot of weight and I couldn’t understand why every time something didn't go according to plan I was enraged. I couldn’t longer exercise because my own sweat started giving me a skin allergy, can you believe that? Long Story short, I quit coffee(not caffeine) around a month ago. I’m only sticking to Mate which is an Argentinian tea, a liter of water per 40-50grs of yerba mate. I’m feeling better already. I’m more focused, I don’t get such exaggerated physical responses when things don’t go my way. I’m eating better, I’m less hungry. It’s overall easier to be the person I try to be (does this make sense to anyone? Anyway, thanks for reading :)
This may not have been from the caffeine part of coffee but rather 1 of the hundreds of chemicals within coffee. Coffee is actually a really complex substance with many different compounds within it, and some of those compounds vary based on the type of coffee, where its grown, how its processed, etc. People focus a lot on the caffeine coffee has but as a result not much is known about how these other compounds affects the body, so its possible you were having an adverse reaction to one of these compounds which is why switching worked for you.
Yeah well, the lack of sleep may have had something to do with it
Yerba mate has caffeine.
Great comment / anecdote. Caffeine (or more so coffee, specifically) gives me dry, itchy, flaky, cracked, and increasingly painful skin after drinking only one cup a day for 3 or 4 days. Nobody else I know has this. I still drink it sometimes, but the irritation means I cannot stay with it for long.
Valdria la pena saber si el mate tiene algun compuesto activo.... o es simplemente para apaciguar la fijación oral.
You have no idea the pact your videos have on me. I'm so glad you keep active in your channel, keep it up! It's scientific and so informative!
Out of dozens of YT videos about coffee and caffeine that I’ve watched, this one was by far the most informative and authoritative. Thank you.
Quitting caffeine cold turkey is overrated. Use it when you need it, but don’t abuse it as a crutch
RobertPaulPro yes, use cocaine instead
I would try racetams if my government were a little less puritanical.
@to that objectively weighing the risks of any compound is what is important, not all-out abstinence. you seem to have a strong stigma attached to any daily use of any compound. for something like coffee, the risk and negative effects are so incredibly negligible for some people, that it doesn't matter if they're dependent on coffee / caffeine. really, objectively, what's the WORST thing that could happen to someone who has a minor dependence on coffee for their entire life? is it really necessary or at all helpful to deem all who are okay with dealing with that dependence as "weak?"
that's the same school of thought used in D.A.R.E. programs that INCREASE people's likelihood to use illicit compounds. abstinence and stigmatization is NEVER GOING TO OBJECTIVELY HELP THOSE AT RISK OF DEPENDENCE AND ADDICTION. objective evaluation of all potential risks of ANY COMPOUND is the ONLY way to keep people safe, not putting people down for having substance abuse issues. and beyond that, objective evaluation of the risks and benefits of coffee is extremely subjective, as shown in this video, which demonstrates that there is no broad generalization for users being "weak" for coming to the conclusion that coffee dependence is fine.
I've been drinking coffee on and off my entire life. the idea that there is ONE answer for all people is idiotic. I don't have ANY of the symptoms listed in this video, and many are in the same boat as me. no one is saying daily consumption of any compound doesn't come with physiological changes. anyone who is remotely familiar with the effects of coffee knows this, and realizes that any perceived negative effects may not be present for all people, and thus, carries no risk for a lot of individuals.
Imagine generalizing any group of people based upon your own beliefs and stigma. that's a WAY weaker move than having a cup of Joe each morning.
@to that I don't need coffee to wake up but I love the flavor so much so I drink 2 cups every morning. None afterwards though. I realise I sound like an addict lol.
I am one of those heavily coffee drinking finnish people. Around 5-7 cups a day. 3 at the very minimum. I have stopped drinking coffee now 7 days ago and still I have withdrawal symptoms like a steady headache which I feel like is a standard "I want coffee" headache. I have decided to stay coffee free as I'm also sugar free and basicmy carnivore so all I ingest now is animals and water.
Feels better to live on your own hormones and energy levels all in all. Waiting for headache to gtfo.
I also believe drinking coffee and then sitting for the rest of the day is what’s unhealthy.
Get moving! Pump the iron, stretch those hamstrings!

@@yeid44 Well, it means just be careful not to chronically stress yourself with caffeine and especially when you have low sodium (which is common in keto and fasting, usually in the start). Imbalances are what keto flu are all about.
loved it, thanks!
This was a fantastic video. GJ
just my 2 cents thrown out here
but 100% coffee (black,no sugar or milk) cuts my appetite to not eating for hours
can't imagine myself doing intermittent fasting without
Same lost so much weight from it
yep. Black coffee is what suppresses my appetite. And I only get those sleepy, withdrawal crash effects if I down a ton of coffee. Guess I might just be one of the lucky ones he mentioned built to handle it
Tea, water + salt, sparkling water, and above all DISCIPLINE (divine will from your higher self).
I never used coffee for intermittent fasting or fasting, only light tea or, better, water. When I fast my body naturally prefers no coffee and no strong teas. The appetite goes back and forth for a while, but it's never biting too much.
I'm going to learn how to do photosynthesis now
This comment needs more likes asap.
I just explained photosynthesis to my 5 year old nephew this morning (in simple terms, obviously). And even at 40 years of age, the ability of plants to do that, still blows me away, quite frankly speaking. Imagine having the ability, to make your own glucose from water, air and sunlight.
I'd turn green for that!
lol
Thank you !!! Very educational video
thanks for this quality stuff and research. Inspiring!
I love the new style to quote studies. I watch a lot of videos with dozens of references, but so few actually show which specific articles are being mentioned in a specific part of the video and you did it elegantly.
Would love to see a video about popular nootropics (L-theanine, ashwaganda etc)
I got sick with a stomach flu two weeks ago. Had no desire to drink coffee, which was odd since I would always fiend for a cup even with colds. I took this as an opportunity to stop caffeine. My blood pressure mysteriously dropped, which I have been trying to keep in line with medication. I’m less anxious and need less sleep. The only side effect is I appear to get tired early in the evening, but, you know, maybe that’s my body telling me I need rest! 🙃
Very balanced and informative thank you
I definitely find I have a much harder time controlling my appetite when I don't get adequate sleep, and if there's one thing we all know caffeine does is disrupt the sleep cycle.
I quit coffee a week ago and then this video comes out. Auspicious timing once again, Internet teacher man
Suspicious, you probably need your coffee.
I stopped drinking coffee for 2 months after watching this video, my opinion might be useful for someone. I noticeably feel less anxious, but didn't notice any difference in my hunger. I didn't notice any difference in my sleep quality too and it took about 6 weeks to really feel like I don't need coffee do be productive. Another effect was that I was getting tired faster when exercising. My conclusion was that it comes with positive and negative effects, and I do miss that special time of the day when I have my coffee with my favorite mug, however, it is not worth for it's dependency to be productive and the anxiety it gives me.
Agreed
I dabble in some homemade chai every once in awhile, especially if I've gotten very little sleep. I don't feel dependent on it at all. Perhaps try some teas?
Thank you for this video
Pardon my OCD; but Megadose vs sparsely timed normal doses shouldn't be used to support "different effects on different people".
Doesn't mean differing effects isn't true though.
I love black coffee, but it gives me the worst shakes and anxiety. Green tea however! i can drink and enjoy the slight mental boost without any jitters or anxiety.
Lol this happens when I have a second cup too soon after the first. I had to solder something last week after having 2 cups of coffee, and my hands were so shaky lol
But I like the tase! What do I do?
@@coltonbates629 Try to slowly decrease how often you drink it.
@@coltonbates629 If you like it, drink it, just in moderation. Everything has the potential to mess with you and/or kill you. Coffee, soda, friggin' pickle juice. Anything. I swear people are coffee naysayers. As long as you drink it in _moderation,_ enjoy it.
Add l-theanine and your coffee becomes tea that tastes like coffee. Also dont drink robusta coffee That stuff fucks me up every time.
Coffee is one of the only things which truly makes me happy to be alive
wtf
Sound like it's more of an addiction than just a thing you enjoy

Awesome Video.. I love the way you accurate offer all perspectives, Ideas and possibilities.. And Your ending is epic.. It’s not the people who drink coffee routinely that are living the longest but the people that Can Handle drinking coffee all day that will live the longest!)
I’m trying to give up coffee, it doesn’t agree with me, but I like it and it's part of my routine.
What you said was very helpful.
The images however, of delicious coffee being poured over and over, were not.
Try matcha tea, then you won't get the withdrawal symptoms
I've rarely ever see avid coffee drinkers who are fat.
Coffee helps me suppress my appetite.
I drink coffee in the morning and eat breakfast in the late afternoon.
You’re not looking too hard. The workplace is full of them.
My mom.
Some people love pouring heavy cream/sugar in their coffee; would make sense that they are the ones getting fat.
I have around 12 cups a day and I'm kinda fat.
Great delivery of information! I understand how you came up with that conclusion. But also as you said… every body is different and processes coffee differently!
It gives me awful anxiety, after I quit I feel like a child... Just being myself it's amazing
after I quit I felt weird like I forgot what it felt like to not be high on caffeine. but now I'm getting used to it day by day. Natural energy feels so much better.
O ye i drink coffee since 10, so i probably feel like a kid while drinking coffee
Same.
Hot chocolate is actually a great substitute
@@jaymeister26 i think hot chocolate has too much fat
I feel like the ammount of times you quote papers has drastically decreased, as a matter of fact when you mentioned Coffee, Belly fat, Anxiety, Cortisol links those were drastically oversimplified or i didnt look at the right papers. While it is true that coffee increases cortisol levels it also inhibits other chemicals within the body which "suggest" fat loss, in turn it isn't so surprising that drinking coffee and weight gain aren't correlated, and after you've mentioned clearly that no correlation has been found you then run around it to suggest such correlation, it feels to me like the point is forced.
This channel is basically broscience for ectomorphs.
i liek schiensche XD 🤣🤣🤣😂🤣🤣😂🤣🤣🤣
But I agree with him as I've experienced rather than surveys which may change conclusions the next day and keep changing. I think for weight loss, its not better than hot water, I've seen
I can feel your caffeine. It gives you focus, makes you stronger.

great video, thanks
So helpful. Thank you 🙏🏻
As a regular caffeine drinker for the last 6 or 7 years, who has also experimented with significant breaks of varying lengths, and has also experimented with different nootropic compounds that both enhance and diminish effects of caffeine, what I've concluded is this: caffeine can have vastly different effects on people as a result of individual body and brain chemistry. Prolonged caffeine use can and usually does affect things like short term memory, intrinsic motivation capability, sleep quality, and even may be have some link to increase in depression. Caffeine is a drug, and like any drug, daily, long-term will have effects on us, and for some people those effects can be more negative and debilitating than for other people. And as such, ceasing caffeine use abruptly can also introduce some temporary negative effects. For me those mainly tend to be in the form of severe depression and lack of motivation, difficulty maintaining focus, and difficulty staying awake during the day. HOWEVER, I have found that after a while, these symptoms disappear. But that "while" can be a very, very long while, longer than you may think. I've heard of people who stopped taking caffeine almost a year ago and still don't feel quite normal. I think we underestimate just how much daily use of a drug can affect brain chemistry long term. I am not advocating for anyone to quit caffeine, but I think the effects of caffeine have been understated for far too long, and people should be more educated on what this drug can do to a person. All this said, at this time, I am still using caffeine on a daily basis, but have tried to keep my use to around 200mg per day or less. And man oh man, is it difficult to quit, even if I really want to. Caffeine has got to be the most easily obtainable, readily available drug in the history of humanity. And as any addict knows, keeping your DOC out of sight and out of mind is key to overcoming any addiction.
"… started again drinking two caffe latte in the morning".
Drinking coffee for you, also with respect to having appetite, seems to mean also drinking a lot of milk…
And?
@@jamesbizs You can't say that the effect comes from coffee, especially since milk has a lot more calories. Etc, etc.
yeah that makes no sense since coffee has almost no calories and has appetite supressive effects, milk in the other way is a very caloric and carb dense drink that trigers insulin alot depending on how much lactose has in it, the less fat has in it the more the spike on insulin.
@@jamesbizs Very simplistic. We have 2 energy modus. One for Fat energy and one for carbs. After some hours you switch in the fat energy modus. If you get carbs your body switches and expects more carbs to come.
So if you drink coffee with a lot of milk you get hungry.
Same reason for fasting. Coffee is fine to not break the fasting effect but only without milk.
I love that you actually give the sources!
One hell of a video!
Actually coffe helps me to reduce my hunger, so I can wait longer before I have to eat
Same

Same
I'm that way too.
yes
I drink coffee daily. I drink it black and it makes my appetite go away. If anything it makes me lose weight because it makes my hunger go away!
Same. I have 2-4 cups of black coffee every morning and have no trouble waiting until 5pm to eat. I'll admit that overdoing it makes me feel stressed (and being stressed raises my appetite), but since I know that I just stick to drinking what I brew in the french press and I'm fine.
I have the opposite reaction. I have one cup and I'm dizzy anxious and hungry with mood swings . and I'm constantly craving foods.
Oh this is a great video mate
WIL: Coffee makes you fat and anxious
Also WIL: Butter Coffee helps you lose weight.
😅 science aint black & white folks
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Answer: Sodium in Coffee.
You loose sodium when consuming caffeine.
Well butter basically is magic so
7 cups of coffee > live longest
meanwhile: I drink 1 cup and feel like dying cuz of heart palps and chest tightness. Ultimately triggering a panic attack if I drink more.
Thanks to my old daily habit of drinking 2 to 4 cans of energy drink, I think my heart/body has had it with caffeine.
Me too
carla recaido also drank red bull like there was no tomorrow? 🤣
I switched to decaf espresso. Grind my beans every morning by hand and add only a couple of normal beans. Making myself a big bulletproof coffee. I can’t handle normal coffee anymore. Get so stressed my hands and feet get quite cold.
Same here lol Interesting how not much is written about this effect. Your body creates this weird adaptation, which seems to be kinda dangerous too if you’re not aware that you can’t do what you did before.
Oh man, I recently started the habit of drinking 2 red bull zero sugar per day...I don't know if I enjoy the taste so much or if I'm just addicted by now
I finished Caffeine Blues a while back and I've been anticipating a caffeine video from WIL. Quitting caffeine makes mood and energy feel cleaner, more stable and more consistent. It took at least two months for me to notice improvements which accumulated steadily. Many who quit expect results within a week.
2 months sure ！ l am on day 22 and going strong
What I love most about your work is the "stock videos" from famous movies and TV shows
Good channel mate 👍
Coffee initially suppresses my appetite, but once the caffeine crash happens, it seems like the only thing that restore my vitality is food, and preferably sweet food.
Do you sweeten your coffee? I myself feel much different after an unsweetened cup of coffee compared to sweetened.
Pair my coffee with heavy cream so appetite is completely nonexistent for a number of hours out. Just have to limit myself to a cup and not daily cause I can easy start having "just another cup" cravings.
@@MB19ap I drink (it would be more to accurate to say chug) my coffee black.
Pair your coffee with heavy cream or fatty milk, it'll prevent the caffeine crash, and will more slowly release the energy burst you so desire.
Stopped drinking coffee years ago because I felt jitters, anxious and restless after drinking coffee. This year I have stopped drinking tea and I feel much calmer, have more energy, sleep better, better focus and I have motivation to do things.
Great video thanks
Haven't had a cup of coffee since this video! it helped me a lot
Coffee was giving me cancer. It also kicked my dog. When I was a child, coffee drank too much and hit my mom.
Ever since I quit, I've lost the need to sleep or rest, and have gained the ability to fire projectiles of energy from my newly alert and perceptive eyes.
Weird profile pic
I quit coffee cold turkey. Had migraine like headaches for 10 days, 6 to 8 hours a day, same time everyday.
I quit coffee for two weeks but had some (1/4 tsp) matcha tea powder mixed in my homemade electrolyte lemonade and had NO caffeine withdrawal from the absence of coffee whatsoever!
@@melodypate8453 Because green tea has caffeine.
Quitting any addiction cold turkey is going to come with some major side effects. I usually take 1-2 weeks to successively reduce my caffeine intake to 0 and skip the headaches, but the length of time it takes will be dependent on how much you drink and for how long you've kept it up.
@@cruzerion it takes time to quit like any stimulant or drug, but im too scared to take that step
I went to black tea, then green tea. I'm pretty happy with that, yet I'm still looking for herbal teas I like
Day 4 of no caffeine: I have a headache, I'm tired but my mood is a lot more stable and in line with how I actually feel rather than all over the place. I don't feel as productive but I'm able to focus more on one thing rather than getting carried away with multiple things I lose interest in as soon as I crash.
When I quit smoking , I replaced smoking breaks in office with coffee breaks and noticed significant increase in anxiety. One day I had 2 espresso shots back to back and felt like having a panic attack.
Three double lattes a day? Your weight gain could be from the cream alone.
its not fat that makes one fat, unless you are also consuming large amounts of garbage carbs.
@@Iron936 Excess calories make one fat. If you eat too much fat, you will get fat, the same goes for carbs and proteins.
@@PierzakPiotr You probably have not seen his other videos
@@PierzakPiotr watch his other videos on consuming carbs with fats
@@matissd I've seen all his videos and trust me, he would agree. I'm not talking about satiety, hormonal response and myriad of other things. If you eat more than your body needs you will put on weight regardless of the source.
On a carb diet, I constantly feel sleepy and lethargic, so I end up taking more than 1 or up to 3 coffee a day, just to keep myself awake through the day. Stop carb, and you will either need 1 or no coffee at all. Now I feel my 1 coffee every morning is just out of habit, and not a necessity. That's my relationship with coffee. I wonder if that is what everyone also goes through
Totally agree. On a high carb SAD, I was blowing through a giant 20 oz tumbler of coffee (probably 4-5 cups). But then I was fat, lethargic, and highly inflammed in my joints. Went keto in 2018, and got down to just one 6-8oz cup. I don't NEED to have it now, and I have it only once or twice a week. My anxiety and energy has definitely improved since I stopped drinking so much of it.
I have a diet rich in carbs and I feel "normal", not energized nor sleepy
That's so accurate. I feel the same while drinking coffee, I feel that I don't need this, but I'm addicted. Gonna quit from tomorrow.
That's exactly what happens with me. I try to take my first meal as late as possible so i can do maximum amount of work before the carbs slow me down
Jitu Teron I definitely drink less coffee on a low carb diet. Typically just one cup a day (sometimes none) compared to 3+ with high carb. (I don’t handle high carbs well, though.). This reduction happens without me trying or thinking about it. It’s spontaneous. Even more interesting is how I spontaneously stop drinking coffee altogether when fasting. Not only do I feel I don’t need it, my energy increases so much that it doesn’t seem appealing.
I love your content please more videos 😍😍😍
I've watched quite a few videos about giving up caffeine but this one covered quite a few things none of the others did. It gave me some new insights and has made me have another think about whether to drink caffeinated coffee or not.
great content. thanks
I have Tourette's and one coffee a day is way to much for me, all the side effects are amplified because of my high dopamine, I believe.
Same.
Was awake 5 days once and went to work. Normally I'm crazy anxious around people. That day I was as cool and relaxed as Ive never been before or since. But this only is noticable once you get through the "hard part", the part where your body actively tries to go to sleep and there is little to no distraction to keep you awake. After that part there was this blisful moment. Felt amazingly calm, confident. Sleep deprivation is crazy.
One of the best videos I've seen about coffee!
Thank you!
Always my favorite yt notification!
Caffeen lowers my appetite just like any other stimulant would. Thats interesting your saying the opposite may be true for many people.
Video popped up and right on time! I am definitely quitting coffee! Started 2 days ago...thinking I am going to reduce slowly. Well I got my confirmation today! I was down to about 6 ounces and this morning I decided that I just don't want the fast heart rate and anxiety anymore! DONE!! It's not worth it....over the years I just got very sensitive and it's like having a panic attack every day! I experienced EVERYTHING he talked about in the video. Bye coffe! Not gonna miss you!
Fair enough. A sweet, strong, creamy coffee is one of the absolute pleasures of my life. I only have the one, with my breakfast. The enjoyment it imparts to me is on a par with fillet steak. Absolute joy.
you like the sweets and garbage in the coffee, not the coffee itself
