Caffeine... What's your daily intake?

I don't drink caffeine anymore. I used to be pretty addicted, started drinking it when I was around 14.

It was hard at first but the longer I went without, the easier it became.

I'd say my ability to concentrate has improved and it's so much easier to read books, and sleep.

I also find myself feeling relaxed most of the time.

 

i pound a cup of black coffee every morning, then another one around noon. i drink another cup before i workout. i think i may have developed a caffeine dependency because if i dont get at least 1 cup, i get a migraine.

 

Man i should focus on nofap because the flatline is real.

 

I usually have one cup of coffee a day and a Monster energy for work. I'm pretty sure coffee isn't the reason for the gut, more or less coffee would boost your immune system. I've had a ton of friends and most that were coffee addicts were skinny non the less. Some co workers especially that took in coffee are just abnormally skinny. I didn't do monster energy drinks but now I have a gut, I'm starting to wonder if I stop it'll go away, but it just seems like it's not fading along with you bud.

 

Yeah that's withdrawal's, I've heard of other people getting migraines or headaches when they stop. I would try to just stick out and see if they stop after three days. Your body has be pounding in the intake of coffee for a long time so it's going to be different being without it.

 

I'm drinking tea

 

Maximum two cups a day of coffee for me. Green tea is my best friend now. Together with the https://ukwritings.com/ service, they help me to go trough some difficult times and i really appreciate that. Caffeine makes me a little more nervous , so not the right time for me at the moment.

 

Never have tasted coffee, only smelled it. Smells like dirt. And I also have a bad memory of me and my dad getting rear-ended and his hot coffee mug spilling all over my legs. I don't wanna be so addicted that I need to bring it in the car.

I do drink maybe a few glasses of soda 1-2 times a week. I feel like it'd be really bad if I drank it every day, although there are some times (summer break in particular) where my family happens to have like a 16-pack of Dr. Pepper and I hoard it in a mini-fridge.

 

One or two cups of coffee and tea a day. Mostly drink without milk and very less sugar. It helps me with the cold allergies. It also helps to boost my immune system.

 

Good question lol. I find myself drinking 6 20 oz bottles of vitamin water energy a day. Each bottle contains 60 mg of caffeine

 

I guess it depends but I would say like 3 cups a day. Like 3 cups of latte or another milky drink. Especially with banana milk or syrup. Read here that bananas can be good for weight loss because they are low in calories, high in fiber, and contain resistant starch, which can help you feel full and satisfied for longer periods. Plus, they provide essential nutrients like potassium and vitamin C.

 

I usually drink two cups of coffee every day, rarely three

 

Update: I am now consuming 5 cups a day. But I'm planning on quitting soon...

 

Nice one! I actually did this for lent last year (didn't give up anything this year, mostly due to 'missing' the start due to a period of illness). I'd actually been trying for a long time to cut down to one coffee a day (followed by a few cups of tea if necessary), but failing. Weirdly, I found it considerably easier to cut out coffee altogether than cut it down. I think after the stimulant affects of the coffee wore off I would find myself 'needing' another, whereas if I didn't have any in the first place I would just try and find other ways to concentrate or wake myself up. Even something simple like opening the window and taking a few slow deep breaths.

After lent I started again, but found a coffee every other day was plenty. It's crept up to one a day now - which is where I wanted to be in the first place - which I typically drink before working out (on workout days), or as a mid-morning pick me up (on rest days). I no longer crave a coffee first thing in the morning. Or at all, really.

Edit to add: pre lent last year my coffee habit was between three and five a day, double espresso strength with varying amounts of milk/water added depending what I fancied. The first few days were tough...

 

...not to mention what it does to your digestive systems.......all that acid.....

 

Got my tasty espresso 20 minutes ago. I need more
