In an attempt to start taking care of myself and body better, I'm joining my wife on a diet she's been on.

Today is the first time in.dang near 8 years or so that I haven't started my day with caffine. I have gone nearly 30 hours without my beloved sweet tea now.

Apparently the body doesn't like coming off of caffine/sweet tea. I'm shaking and craving it right now. Not to mention the killer headache.

I guess that's what happens when you go from drinking a 1/2-3/4 gallon of tea a day....to just strait water.


Please tell me this is the right decision!

WOW!:beerchug: I kicked smokeing in Aug. 2000 no problem but still haven't been able to kick caffeine. If I don't have at least one pepsi a day the migrain just kills
 
One of the biggest down sides of caffeine withdrawals is the headache. Took Anacin and it went away...looked at the ingredients for Anacin....caffeine. I agree with the previous comment about drinking unsweetened tea. You can even substitute green tea, get your caffeine and increase your weight loss.
 
get decaffeinated tea....thats what I use cause I drink sweet tea all the time
 
i drink tea, certainly not a gallon a day but I may have one or 2 cups a day and or coffee. moderation is key and i drink tons of water and excersize 4 or 5 times a day.

i think weening off would be wiser but if you can go cold turkey go for it. good luck
 
Once you're off the junk you'll feel much better!! I rarely have any caff. beverages anymore. Water is the drink of choice and in the heat I like the sports drinks every now and then but I've never felt like crud after drinking water. :thumbsup:
 
Are we going to have to change your screen name now? :laugh:

"plain water guy" ??? :poke:

+1 on that

My vice is diet coke and coffee...I swore off it a couple times...usually by
noon my head is splitting into 3 distinct and seperate entities all screaming
for caffine...forget it.
 
Dude, I remember when I was in middle school I'd go through 1-2 2 liters of coke A DAY! I didn't know what addiction was then... Till I tried to kick Coke in High School... SEVERE Migraines. I resorted to doing shots of Coke throughout the day to keep the migraines away till I completely weened off... Now I'm back to drinking Coke again... Thankfully, only about a glass or so at a meal though.

I remember the first time someone asked me "sweet" or "unsweet". I had no idea there was such a thing as "unsweet".

I think it's a southern thang.....lord knows I love my sweet tea:thumbsup:


Good luck with the diet.
 
green or white tea will get you the healthy side of tea, without all that damn sugar you southerners put in it. although, i do miss good sweet tea. that, waffle house, and popeye's are the only 3 things i miss about florida.
 
Advil has been my friend since yesterday. Not ate anything fried of greasy or had any caffine since the other day. I believe this is day three.

I'm still craving one something fierce.


Vabusa- hahahaha
