(Very OT) Victory over Caffeine

stupidsucker · #1 10-17-2005, 01:37 PM

A few months ago I had posted about giving caffeine up.

I switched to caffeine free coke, and I tasted no difference.

Today I realized... I dont even drink that anymore. Caffeine is there to make you crave the beverage to buy it. Legal drug pushing.

Quiting caffeine is one of the most EV things I have ever done. Lost 5 pounds too.

I was reluctant, and it was hard to find non-diet caffeine free. Sounds kooky I know, and I drank a lot of rootbeer as well. Rootbeer > coke anyways.(good rootbeer).

Now give up soft drinks altogether. The sh*t they put in those is worse for you than caffeine ever was *. ('Less of course you go crazy on caffeine and start shooting at cops, or flipping off gangstas, or something)

::Commercial Plug:: Go to like Trader Joe's or somewhere that sells pure fruit juice, blueberry or aronia berry is pretty tasty, and good for you. cranberry will make you pucker for a week)::End Commercial Plug::

PS * Even worse for you than making Baby Jesus cry, and I hear that goes on your *permanent* record.

Even fruit juice is actually pretty bad for you, unless it has pulp or some substance to it. Just buy a bunch of fruit instead for your sugar fix... MUCH better for you.

Getting a cup of coffee with one or two esspresso shots in it once a month is like the best feeling ever. Caffiene is by far my favorite drug (granted, I don't do many), and works really well if you use it really infrequently

This describes my experience with caffeine as well. I definitly don't add in two shots of esspresso though. Because I don't drink much caffeine, one small cup of coffee gets me wired.

Oh yeah, and I hate the taste of soda (unless its mixed with alcohol).
