>tfw cutting caffeine out from my diet

there's a void in my life, /ck/. how do i fill it?

[Anonymous No.4265205]

Why would you do that?!

Sitting with a morning coffee right now, no way I could cut it out I would be a slug for hours

[fag, !reland.R/c No.4265206]

Why are you cutting it out? I did the same a while ago, because I got violent on it as well as having fucked-up sleep patterns. It gets easier. What day are you on?

lol did you ever think maybe it was your savage irish genetics and not the coffee at all?

[Anonymous No.4265215]

Fresh squeezed juice and herbal teas help me a lot when I'm avoiding caffeine. The sugar rush is a decent boost in energy, and not as bad of a crash from the more refined sugars. Just don't expect it to give you as strong or long of a lift like caffeine, and don't try to keep it going by constantly drinking juice. Your body will adjust.

ive been cutting back slowly. i was up to about six shots of espresso a day. im just slowly scaling it back. i hope i can just quit altogether. but if in a few weeks im just drinking 1-2 shots a day, ill consider that a victory

I've literally never tried decaf coffee.
It tastes the same, right? Does anyone know?

Really?
I guess I expected as much, though.
Guess decaf isn't an option for kicking the caffeine if you can't even get the placebo effect.

[Anonymous No.4265255]

>>4265251
not to mention decaf has caffeine

[Anonymous No.4265289]

>>4265251
decaf really isn't that bad, as long as you get plunger coffee rather than filter

>try to quit cold turkey

>takes 6months to ween myself down to nothing
>no caffeine for 3yrs
>mfw i'm back up to 2 amps a day and feeling like i might add a 3rd

[Anonymous No.4265382]

You can find decent decaf coffee, just look around for it. I'd recommend a swiss water process, which avoids decaffeinating chemicals coming in contact with your coffee.

Otherwise, look to coffee substitutes. There's quite a few of them out there, and some of them are quite good.

You could try chocolate.
I was addicted to caffeine 2 years ago. The feeling was gone after 1 month.

Fill the void with a better diet. Eat some fruit for energy

Have some buttered cheese and everything will be alright.

Chocolate has caffeine in it though,

[Anonymous No.4265571]

it shouldnt be hard to cut out caffeine if you want to do it. the things we want to do are, by definition, those which are done easily.

[Anonymous No.4265582]

At that point it would just be cheaper to get some meth.

Well the thing is the decaffination process takes effort and all that.

So what's a company to do? If they take beans of the same quality as regular coffee, then the extra processing means decaf will be more expensive than the regular coffee of equal quality. The other route to go is making both types of coffee equal in price by using lower quality beans for decaff. See what I mean?

So you can find decaff that doesn't taste worse, but it'll cost more.

All decaff coffee is shit. More expensive decaff is just slightly less watered down shit.

Buy fruit juice if you want to avoid caffeine, and stop ruining my beverages because you can't handle it.

I switched to Powerade Zeros and decaf coffee on mornings that I work out. It sucks man. but not as bad as those headaches that come with the withdrawal

The taste is a little different. Caffeine has a perceptible flavor of its own.
