Guest guest Posted November 4, 2008 Report Share Posted November 4, 2008 i love soda but can't have it often, and i'll never give up coffee i do buy fair trade though. I don't see anything wrong with either. i've found that since i'm eating right, drinking plenty of water and exercising regularly, that i already have so much energy that i don't need the caffeine as much ) --- On Wed, 11/5/08, maggie <sweet_lady2u wrote: maggie <sweet_lady2u dealing with caffeine withdrawals Wednesday, November 5, 2008, 2:37 AM how do you deal with the caffine with drawls?

Guest guest Posted November 5, 2008 Report Share Posted November 5, 2008 How it worked for me: I am a coffee addict. To quit I switched to something that has a little caffeine, but not the flavor of coffee (that I love). Once the headaches start, just drink 1/2 cup of weak green tea (yes it has caffeine). Once they start again, drink another little bit. What you will probably notice is that you can go longer and longer without headaches, so the 1/2 cups green tea will become more infrequent. I was able to quit completely this way in 3 days without the horrible headaches. Unfortunately I drink coffee again. Problem is I get very sleepy at work in the afternoon sometimes, so I use the coffee to stay awake. I will quit completely when I retire. , maggie <sweet_lady2u wrote: > > how do you deal with the caffine with drawls?

Guest guest Posted November 5, 2008 Report Share Posted November 5, 2008 I " ll drink to that; Green tea, that is. This method really works and you just might find that you LOVE green tea. I do. It is so good for the body and has a wondrful fresh clean taste with just the tiniest bit of caffeine. I am tipping my cup right now, Maggie, and this one is for you!

Guest guest Posted November 5, 2008 Report Share Posted November 5, 2008 And the little bit of caffeine that green tea has in it doesn't have give you a jittery feeling, just a happy feeling from the B vitamin and antioxidents that are loaded in this. Green tea is the best food source of a group called catechins. In test tubes, catechins are more powerful than vitamins C and E in halting oxidative damage to cells and appear to have other disease-fighting properties. Studies have found an association between consuming green tea and a reduced risk for several cancers, including, skin, breast, lung, colon, esophageal, and bladder. Also here is some more info about green tea. http://www.amazing-green-tea.com/benefits-of-drinking-green-tea.html http://www.greenteahp.tv/healthbenefits.html - Katie Wednesday, November 05, 2008 3:28 PM Re: Re: dealing with caffeine withdrawals I " ll drink to that; Green tea, that is.

Guest guest Posted November 5, 2008 Report Share Posted November 5, 2008 drink jerba Matte - also known as Jaguar tea from argentina. The compound in it is very close to caffiene but it is not caffiene. Drink it and slowly switch to herbal tea Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 5, 2008 Report Share Posted November 5, 2008 Hi, Green tea is great. It is even availabe flavored. It comes with caffine or you can get decaf Mandarin Orchard Green Tea from Celestial Seasonings. I am a coffee drinker and I am trying to cut back as well. There were times in my life that I did quit drinking coffee and the way that I did that was to cut back on the amount slowly. I also used that technique when I quit soda. I have not drinked soda in years, and I just cut back the amount that I drank slowly. Adding organic lemons in water is really good and is a natural diuretic.
