Is quitting coffee worth it?

whether or not you can feel the effects, caffeine is a drug and modifies your brain chemistry

doesn't matter if you can feel it or not you fucktard

I weaned off of 2 cuppas a day and the occasional preworkout with green tea. I feel a lot better now only drinking one green tea a day and the occasional coffee on the weekend.

Gonna quit after exams boyos

t. gone from 12 cups a day down to 3

There is nothing wrong with coffee, and there is no reason to quit it.

You all are talking about it like it's cigarettes or something. Get a grip, ladies.

t. caffeine addict

>nothing wrong with living life permanently on stimulants

This summer for a few weeks I drank an energy drink every morning. When I then skipped it one day I got a headache around noon and felt like shit the whole afternoon. Having never been addicted to caffeine I didn't even connect the dots until later.

I don't get why people adcocate quitting cold turkey, that sounds miserable. Just reduce by 10% of your regular dose every day or every other day. You'll be clean in less then a month and feel okay. And if you actually need an energy boost after quitting it will actually do something other than keep your withdrawal at bay.

Coffee almost certainly fucks with your cognitive abilities. I'm shocked that someone would think otherwise.

I drink one small cup a day. Would it be worth it to quit?

There are definite benefits but coffee feels too nice for me to care much about them. The downsides arent serious enuogh like with cigarettes or alcohol. The only people who should seriously consider it are those with anxiety disorders or sleeping problems

One thing though- caffeine doesn't help productivity, it's honestly an illusion. It just feels good and that's about all it does

Ya.

In my own experiments. There is a huge difference between having no caffeine at all and just small amounts.

I only completely feels normal a momth after abstaining from all sources of caffeine. Including chocolate and tea.

Normal feels like when you drink your first morning coffee.

On top of that I realized that my irregular heart rhythm after an intense workout is due to caffeine.

I'll consider it then. I'll need to find another super bitter drink though, coffee is easily my favorite drink

The second study used mice dosed with caffeine at 20-30mg/kg. For an 80kg person this comes out to about 1600mg, or about 17 cups of coffee per day.

There are mixed blend of barley and chicory that taste like insyant coffee. But it will do for bitter tasting liquid. Where I live it's branded as akeva.

Found in london drug if you have those stores.

Coffee has a lot of health benefits, and surprisingly the more studies that are done, the more benefits chronic coffee ingestion seems to have. The recommended coffee amount per day just actually increased not that long ago, which is pretty rare.

Any of these studies that look at *just* caffeine (hint: a lot of the good that comes from coffee is more than just the caffeine) are often done on insane doses that no human would ever take. One cup a day will be beneficial to you; more than that, and you risk all the negatives (shakes, caffeine headaches, etc). I personally drink 2-3 cups a day and don't have any real problems, the worst is if I stop cold turkey I'm just a bit more tired that day.

Same boat pretty much. I never get headaches even if i stop coffee

>Coffee has a lot of health benefits, and surprisingly the more studies that are done, the more benefits chronic coffee ingestion seems to have. The recommended coffee amount per day just actually increased not that long ago, which is pretty rare.
This is incorrect, there are only correlation studies that show that people that drink more coffee tend to live slightly longer and have better health outcomes.

You guys were probably addicted to the sugar you put into the coffee which caused the headaches. I drink espresso black half a pot a day. If I go a week or two without it I don’t notice anything like fatigue or headaches

Do it, OP, be strong. No one will give you credit for how hard it is

I've quit for a month and my sleep has drastically improved, not to mention less stress and it cured my chronic back pain

You got headaches from the sugar not the caffeine

You seem to be on the masturbation "I just found out correlation is not causation" train.

Either that, or you've somehow never seen studies where they actually gave people coffee treatments for acute/semi-longterm effects.

No one cares either way.

You are so unbelievably wrong

>Either that, or you've somehow never seen studies where they actually gave people coffee treatments for acute/semi-longterm effects.
Link me even one of those m8. It has never been proven that antioxidants do literally anything.

No, I do IF. Used to drink black coffee every morning. No sugur.

Quitting was the most miserable I've ever been

you're right probably. I drink coffee without sugar my whole life and see no reason why I should stop drinking it.
I guess lots of you try desperately to find the reason for your unhappiness. I'm pretty sure it's not coffee. Maybe it's the blantness of today's careers, relationships and religious views

I wouldn’t brag about that. Pretty pathetic.

ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/28858362

Literally googled for 2 seconds.

Also where the fuck are you pulling antioxidants out of.

Holy shit I drink 3/4 cups a day and have never connected it to my sleep problems and anxiety.

I'm done. As of this moment.

Saying coffee has antioxidants as a positive is the most pathetic thing ever. Dude eat a fucking apple and at least it's healthy.

decaf

I've only drank coffee 2-3 times in my entire life and it tasted horrible

Why do you guys sip the jew brew? Were you really so low energy that you needed chemical help?

What this study says is that caffeine is a mild vasodilator, which is fucking nothing and not at all something that could be construed as necessarily a health benefit. And the reason I brought up antioxidants is that all claims of the supposed health benefits of coffee are tied to (supposed) antioxidant mechanism

Do you guys actually get addicted to coffee? I love coffee but never felt a dependency. I got really into coffee a couple years ago. Got a grinder and a poor over kit and everything. I drink a coffee a day but I ran out of coffee beans and haven't bought any yet, so far been a week. I just drink it because I enjoy it.

Coffee is not a healthy beverage and anyone who says so is simply uneducated on the topic. Coffee is not necessary at all to live a functional, healthy and good life. I would like to start out with one thing. Most doctors don't drink coffee and they have the most demanding job, why do they don't drink it? Because they know how it works, unlike many of you.

Coffee is nothing but a pleasure item. People talk about antioxidants here, but its good to know that many things contain antioxidants, like fruits, so it is not a huge thing at all. Coffee reduces brain blood flow by restrictid the vessels, which is not as good for the brain, but apparently with minimal doses your brain can compensate. Coffee is bad for your oesophagus, blood pressure, stomach and can cause gallstone. Coffee blocks nutritions like magnesium and calcium absorption and also derives it from your body, this accumulated with stress does the double damage as your body especially needs vitamins and minerals.
Coffee does NOT give you energy, it just makes your body think you have energy by blocking adenosine receptors which are the sleepy receptors, which IN FACT not worth fucking with as sleep regulation is one of the most importand body function. YOU CAN NOT replace sleep with coffee, people need sleep, and being tired is your body telling you to get rest or fix your nutritions. Coffee only gives you concetration because it releases dopamine like meth, so you feel accomplished which might work if you have ADHD but otherwise it will make you unable to focus, concentrate and think properly. Your body will get used to the chemical in less than a week and you need to upper the dosage to get the same results, even if you don't you get to the baseline of how someone who doesn't drink coffee feels.

Coffee can be used occasionaly when you have a really important thing to do, BUT otherwise daily usage is completely useless and fucks your body up. Those studies proving longevity worth nothing.

Strawman

>Strawman
Wrong. I'm not aruging with anyone hence the no quote, I'm stating facts.

>something you're against
>put jew in front of it

I have one cup of coffee a day, but I supplement that with about 4 cups of tea throughout the day.

>Most doctors don't drink coffee
Where did you pull this fact from?

I work as a GP in NYC, 80% don't drink coffee.

but i like it

You take shit worse than coffee. So you can get over your coffee crusade you degenerate junky

Coffee is perhaps the most jewish thing I can imagine

I used to drink a shit ton myself. I noticed Id have big slumps in ny day where Id just get really tired but now its pretty steady all day. The only caffine I have is in some pre workout supps I take right in the morning. Id say its worth it, it saves a few bucks and helps with overall mentality of not needing a vice to get you through the day. I wouldnt say two weeks, it took me 3 days of horrible head achs which I just took acetaminophen. Went from like a pot a day too 4-6 cups of caffine free green tea which has antioxidantes

I really doubt it

This thread is increadible gay.
Seriously OP if u get withdraw symptoms without coffe obviously ur body has created a dependancy or u have a plasebo effect either way ur fucked and should get off the stuff.

If u feel no symptoms without coffe and u feel no difference without besides the alertness regular people feel when they just had a cup in the morning. Then do what u want.

Fuck anyone trying to state facts one way or another on an indonesion ladyboy fanclub site.

Yes, quit coffee and go full on meth.

I work as a GP up your ass, and 80% drink coffee

>I noticed Id have big slumps in ny day where Id just get really tired but now its pretty steady all day.
That's because you are tired and masking it with coffee. Caffeine blocks the signals in your brain telling you that you're sleepy. Then as the caffeine wears off you get the sleepiness you normally would've had plus the built up sleepiness that you were blocking with caffeine so now you're double sleepy.
The solution is to just get more sleep. If you drink coffee later in the day it may be effecting your sleep, try to set a reasonable cutoff time for caffeine. The cutoff time will be different for everyone since some people can chug Expresso and then take a nap. No need to quit coffee, that isn't the real problem.

Is decaf coffee cool?

I've never drank coffee in my life. 21 y.o.
AMA

They extract the caffeine with toxic chemicals, then freshen up the grounds with artificial coffee gas.

All of these faggots saying they feel no difference when they don't drink coffee, then why the fuck do you drink it?

Hint: it's addictive on a chemical level

So is fucking your mother

typical methead reply.

Did I hit a sensitive spot?

No but it's literally the most pathetic low iq reply you could come up with.

Are you trying to argue that me fucking your mother is not addictive on a chemical level?

You can't be addicted if you never fucked my mom.

Make sure you drink lots of water when you quit. I got slightly constipated when I did.

I only drink it for the taste. I don't think there's any beverage that tastes as good.

Yeah but I'm literally worthless piece of shit that gets addicted to anything. Yesterday I sucked a homeless man's dick for some Colombian coffee beans and my now my wife is divorcing me because of it.
Can't you people understand coffee is a Jewish scheme to trick weak minded scum like myself. That's why I quit coffee, porn, jerking off, and thinking about women. Now I just suck homeless dudes dick for free!

Just reset your addiction for a couple weeks. I drink one cup a day and when I get to two cups I stop for a week and go back. I also hand grind and fresh roast my coffee like an utter faggot, but the work required to make a cup discourages me from slamming cup after cup.

Cold turkey is the best method.

>Coffee has a lot of health benefits, and surprisingly the more studies that are done, the more benefits chronic coffee ingestion seems to have.
I wonder who is founding those studies that are telling people that they should drink coffee.. Hmmmm

This triggers many a people

this

i was driving to work exhausted after 8 hours of sleep. i could only achieve a sharp focus at work past 5 cups of coffee and would crash immediately as i got home. it got to the point where i was numb to effects of coffee such that my energy levels would be consistently be in the dumps. i got so tired of the wavey energy patterns that i just stopped drinking it

well actually, at first, i tried cutting down by not drinking coffee on the weekends but by sunday, i would get the worst headaches and feel so fatigued and ill. this happened a for a few weekends and i started to question my overall health. after making a conscious decision to full stop coffee intake, i got the terrible headaches and fatigue. i finally connected the dots like "oh" and read a bit about the withdrawal effect and it described exactly what i was feeling.

after a week or so, energy levels normalized and i feel way better. i find it way easier to be focused and have a clear head rather than the previous hazey feeling. i drink 2 cups of green tea a day now. it has caffeine but less than coffee. i like jasmine flower

Sugar and salt will completely eliminate coffee jitters.

You know how fucked up and processed that shit is? Another ameritard burgerboi with no idea what he's consuming.

If you think getting cancer is cool

I drink about a liter a day how fucked am I?

Fuck. Looks like I've just quit coffee. God damnit fit.
