Update on kicking coffee: The unexpected consequences that have followed, but progress has been made.

in vlog •  6 years ago 


Ive cut down my amount of coffee again by half. Im now consuming 3 1/2 cups a day but the grinds I put in my peculator has been cut in half. To the point where the coffee filters tend not to stay in place inside the peculator. They are caving in on themselves due to the lack of grounds holding the sides up.

So weird unexpected consequences of stepping down my coffee usage. I think I need to buy some smaller filters, as going from around a 1/4 cup of grounds to an 1/8th cup is affecting it.

Even stepping down half my grinds have been giving me headaches, negative thoughts, mood issues and other concerns. So I need more time to cut it down, as it was affecting me.

Next week I am going to Graves Mountain, the place I found the blue and rainbow colored rocks. And I dont want to be in the throws of coffee withdrawal during my time there. That could turn out bad, I think its just being negligent. So I need another week to get that done. I want to get down to no consumption for about a month, and im on my way as mentioned. But great progress has been made, and now im drinking "normal coffee" strength. Haha.. its just not the super strong stuff I used to make for myself for years working full time in IT.

Thanks @solominer enjoy this

Just don't give up. You can do it but don't cut it down too quick. I reckon it ain't too easy for your body if you cut it down too fast. Anyway, you got that mate.

@gandalfthewhite

You're right, stepping down slowly is the right way. I just need some smaller coffee filters to do that now.. or pour it out which breaks my heart :-P

thanks for the support

Very nice video!

@cranium

thanks much Im making use of the studio lights I got, and I use a corner of my office with some nice wood behind it for my background.

Wait till you quit completely your body will hurt too. It felt like I had ice in my bones!

@cosmiccrimes

In dreading that point, ouch that sounds like a bad feeling.

Excellent decision, I wish you the best of luck

@theresa16

thanks much, I know coffee is a small concern compared to many that are addicted to alcohol, tobacco and hard drugs but still good idea to give it a break.

Excess of everything is bad. Dear you should not be addicted to anything as it excess may harm your health. Take care.

@akdx

yes that is a golden rule in life, everything in moderation. I totally agree with you, thanks for mentioning that.

thanks you too,
