Nooooooo! Coffee is life!!
I've tried quitting 5 times now. I go close to 50 days but have to have it after that, lol.
Realy? If i stay 2 days without cofre I start dying
Yeah I'll put the designs on other merch
You are taking the self-improvement seriously, heh? (Not sarcasm)
I try to! I've cut all sugars and most carbs. I still eat vegetables and rice but want to limit to just vegetables. I only eat 4-6oz meat. Experiment on myself. I am currently on a water fast so I only drink black coffee or green tea. I'm 10 days into my water fast.
Day 2-3 is the hardest because the body switches from glucose to ketones for energy. I get really groggy and sleepy.
Grate cauliflower or brocoli and microwave it for like three to four minutes.
You get a rice replacement.
THAT is happening today for dinner 😉
Thank you!
@machtyn I feel sleep and groggy as well all the time ,I totally cut sugar out but it didn't work
@MGTOW INDIAN Well, for me, it was sugar AND breads/pastas. I also stopped eating prepared meals. I COOK all my own meals.
It took me 3 months to get out of that feeling, btw.
I'm still figuring myself out but this has worked for me. Whenever I cheat and eat toast with breakfast, I get sleepy for 2-3 hours after eating.
Ok so, no sugar and eat vegetables.what about water fast
I don't suggest doing this but this is what I am doing..
I am on day 10 of a water fast. I only drink filtered water and electrolytes (look up "lyteshow" on amazon for the idea).
I am only doing this as a test of mental will for myself.
I normally eat 1 meal a day within a 1 hour window every day. So I fast 23 hours per day and eat 1 meal at 1600, then at 1700 I workout.
Ok got it
This is very unconventional
So be careful if you try it out...
Dr Jason Fung is my resource for learning about it.
I really feel more clear and focused when fasted. It's a personal preference.
I'll check that out thanks mate I have been struggling with grogginess and sleepiness
Days 1-3 are intense. Your body is switching from glucose as energy to ketones for energy so you are in a version of detox.
Alright what is the fundamental difference between a Ketone and glucose
As Sources of energy
I also lowered my caffeine down to 300mg per day. I have one cup at 1000 and my other cup at 1400.
Ketones are using your body fat as fuel.
Glucose is from carbs/sugar conversion; from my knowledge.
Again, I don't know it all and this is just something I am trying personally so do your own research.
I am recording it all and got my blood work done before I started and once I'm done I will get my blood work done again.
I also record my ketone levels via piss sticks.
Ok I don't drink coffee I think the more I drink it the more the tolerance I have for coffee
I suggest reading Dr Jason Fung's blog and listening to all his YouTube. It will take you a full day to consume it all but it's worth it.
What is piss sticks
