Trying a second experiment to go completely caffeine free… maybe I will also try to reduce simple sugars (cookies, pastry, etc.) in favor of protein (nuts? hard-boiled eggs?), fruits, etc. I am really curious to experiment for a week and see whether I feel any differently.

I am in awe. I’ve been thinking of decaffeinating but I like my diet coke and tea way too much and caffeine doesn’t really affect me (but it’s not good for me). The sugar idea is good, too. Look forward to hearing how it works out.

I’m pretty sure if I stopped drinking coffee I would explode. I did try and reduce simple sugars and enriched flours and I felt much better and lost five pounds without really even trying.

I don’t each much in the simple sugars department, but there is no way I could live without caffeine! Hope you post updates on this.

I’m trying to replace my unhealthy snacks with cucumbers/carrots. They are both easy-to-much-on-casually vegetables, with relatively low sugar levels. It worked when I was younger and writing my PhD as a junkfood reduction method, so why not try again?
