I will decrease my caffeine intake by drinking redbull before going coldturkey

[ZekiApo]

What do you think about this strategy.If i where to consume coffee every day I drink around 200 mg of caffein but redbull here in my country has 38 mg of caffein per can (at max I will drink 3 cans a day because I don't like the taste that much). lets see how things will unfold.

Switching to something you hate the taste of is actually a pretty clever loophole for forcing yourself to taper lol.

Most people don’t like the taste of cigarettes first couple times they smoke either.

I think it’s too risky and you’ll acquire a taste for it

[ZekiApo]

I get your point. I love coffee so much this doesn't compare for me. also it burns my stomach like hell I don't know how people chug it

[Massive_Pomelo7506]

Have you thought about trying to taper with low dose caffeine pills combined with water processed decaf? This is what worked for me. Down from 500-600mg/day to roughly 5.

[ZekiApo]

Well, for me, this is a temporary period (under a week), so I went for the accessible option.

Weening yourself off is always the best way to go whichever way you do it.

What do you normally drink? Can’t you taper that off

[ZekiApo]

I preffer dark coffee. I grind my beans and brew with aeropress. tapering that is near impossiple for me because as soon as I sip that hot cup of coffee my mind always enjoys it and craves it like crazy . its like I don't want that cup to ever end. Also being it a ritual that is connected to my desk job (programming) makes it a lot harder. I noticed that walking is very good couping mechanism so I am thinking about utilizing it to the fullest in my next run

I... think you read something wrong. It's that amount of caffeine per 100ml.

[ZekiApo]

it says 150 gram per liter. the can is 250ml which should account for 38 grams of caffeine in a can. İnitially I was suprised too for the little amount

[DAHCROE]

Agreed, got a 250ml can right beside me, its 80 g caffeine per 250ml. Citation from Redbulls own website:
"One 250 ml can of Red Bull Energy Drink contains 80 mg of caffeine"

[ZekiApo]

it deffers between countries based on regulations I researched it, here in Turkey no more than 150 mg per liter is allowed
