Twist my arm. why no coffee? i couldn't do it. i'll skip cinco de mayo and wait until mexican independence day - the holiday mexicans actually care about and MY BIRTHDAY WOOT I don't like being 'addicted' to anything... I dunno. Reading a book where this is an excerpt: Coffee : Don’t kill the messengers: Coffee should not be a part of your daily routine. Caffeine affects every organ system, from the nervous system to the skin. There is nothing beneficial about starting your day with pesticide-laden coffee beans, hormone-filled milk, and sugar or artificial sweeteners. We know it is addictive and people would rather lose a limb than live without coffee. But it just isn’t good for you. Take a week or two to wean yourself off completely. And never look back. I never put anything in my coffee at work, but if I have a starbucks I will get the sugar free syrups and such. A few weeks ago I didn't have any on a Saturday and was completely knocked out after a 10K race, laying on the couch for 3 hours with a massive headache and I just felt like crap. Worthless. It was terrible. I don't like being that dependent on ANYTHING. So I'm experimenting. Going to try some sort of decaf tea. Wurkit you drink tea... any suggestions? |

Hehe, I was just going to weigh in on this! I'm definitely a huge proponent of "caffeine is addictive and you DON'T need it to function". All tea has MUCH less caffeine than regular coffee. Black tea has the most, then green/white and herbal tea has none. I like to mix them up. Republic of Tea makes some nice ones, though kinda expensive. I also like the Tazo and the Stash flavors. I currently have Tazo apricot vanilla blend which is nice, as well as a blueberry/white cranberry white tea. Some of the fruit ones can be a little over-powering - but it depends on the brand. Celestial Seasonings raspberry is gross, but I've had other raspberry teas that are much more subtle. Same with "spiced" ones. Some are way too strong and fake tasting. Mix it up, and test out a few flavors at a time. I tend to buy green and white blends. Loose tea is better than the prepackaged stuff - but it's pricey. For loose tea, I recommend Jasmine Pearls - they are little "pearls" of tea leaves that unravel as they steep. Jasmine tea is fragrant and fresh and light. Love it. And REAL chai is delicious.

![]() | ![]() Yeah I'm not really worried about depression or suicide... and I semi-agree that 1-2 cups a day (which was what I was drinking) is probably not going to kill me. There are a ba-jillion studies out there medically arguing both sides. And no one can argue that NOT drinking it is bad for you. I just don't like being almost fully dependent on it. Like I said, one day without it and I was worthless! What good is that. Meh the book is "Skinny Btitch" Edited by lisac957 2009-05-05 4:56 PM |

Cool I will check out green and white stuff. I'd like to have the benefits of the (decaffinated) tea and I still like drinking something warm in the mornings... |
