Imagine you need to drink fucking coffee to function in your daily life, imagine fucking your receptors so much up so early by drinking 5 cups a day

fucking laugh everytime people tell me they need coffee to function, human waste really

those studies were funded by big coffee

Congratulations

I've gone a week without coffee for the first time in my life and I'm feeling horny as fuck. So maybe.

>coffee causes increased cortisol secretion
Coffee or caffeine? Because I've seen a few articles claiming decaf coffee is actually really good for you recently.

I have a co-worker at Starbucks that introduced me to an unsweetened green iced tea. It's the only thing I drink there other than when I'm tired.

Cortisol and Adrenaline spike blood Sugar which in turn causes insulin resistance and thus an increased chance of beetus. Also stains your teeth yellow. The drug of the enslaved masses.

That's your dopamine receptors not being constantly bombarded with dopamine released from coffee slowly coming back and becoming more sensitve. This fase will only last a while until you reach homeostasis again.

You'd know this if you weren't a retard

Damn we really live in a society

I've never understood the coffee addiction thing. Do people really get addicted to coffee?
The only thing i really keep coming back for is the sugar i put in my coffee. But even that i can stop cold turkey without even blinking.
What's the deal?

This. Drink coffee three times a day because it's better than plain water. Not addicted.

Caffeine is a fairly powerful drug for most people, which is very habit- and resistance-forming. Withdrawing from it usually results in headaches and feelings of tiredness.

Never happened to me, and I drink it everyday.

Coffee tastes great when made properly and has a range of scientifically backed benefits. Fuck your asspull broscience.

>Withdrawing from it usually results in headaches and feelings of tiredness.
Oh yeah i get that. But it's so mild i didn't think THAT'S what people talk about when they talk about coffee addiction and withdrawal symptoms.
Are people really just pussies?

>I can stop whenever I want, I just don't want to

I can, but there is no point for me to. There were many times when I couldn't drink it, and I didn't feel a slight breeze of craving.

You would be correct, if you weren't wrong.
I regularly stop drinking daily coffee cold turkey. Few months on, few months off. It's not a problem.
Idk about the other two anons though. Can't speak for them.

I think drug withdrawal really varies from person to person. I quit alcohol, cigarettes and caffeine easily, but for many people it seems to be harder. Done cocaine, speed and a bunch of other stuff without getting addicted too.

I get horrible migraines photophobia and nausea when i quit coffee. Shit is real

Okay this makes more sense to me now, thank you anons. I hadn't considered that withdrawal wildly varies.

That depends on genetics. Slow caffeine metabolizers may see performance decrements,
>data presented by Guest and reported by Hutchinson [49] demonstrated that caffeine ingestion (4 mg/kg) improved 10-km cycle time trial performance by 1.2 min versus placebo in AA homozygotes; AC heterozygotes saw a 30-s improvement, whilst CC homozygotes saw a performance decrement of 2.5 min

There's also increased risk of heart attack and hypertension in CC allele carriers (slow caffeine metabolizers,

In case there's any dispute on if caffeine metabolism is a real thing, this study on twins establishes the genetic difference in caffeine metabolism

Here's more on caffeine metabolism and withdrawal and addiction
ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4462044/
Whether or not you suffer these side effects or receive benefits from caffeine will likely come down to how quickly you metabolize caffeine aka genetics.

If coffee is causing you problems stop drinking it. It well likely could be really bad for you and not ergogenic but rather the opposite.

How do i know what kind of metabolizer i am?

Yes

I'm pretty sure that if you can't afford genetic testing (probably something like getting whole genome sequencing done) then you could just listen to your body and how you feel. I'm a slow metabolizer and I started to notice some pretty serious problems from drinking coffee. Since quitting I haven't felt better in years. I feel like a kid again.
