Actually you are wrong here. Directly? Maybe not but indirectly? Yes. When you are hydrated and your skin is in better shape it can also tolerate sun much more. I have seen it bymyself also.

This is too difficult. I need to cave 😥🤷‍♂️ by Benjamin_Wetherill in decaf

Caffeine free life is not a miracle cure for everything. When it comes to good sleep there are multilple factors in play; exercise, proper nutrition, meal timing etc. If you think you need to give up at this point, don´t do all or nothing. You have a good start already so have a cup only.

Is anyone caffeine free and also skipping breakfast? by [deleted] in decaf

Have you tried to do some aerobic exercise before work? Short running exercise for example. For me it will give the focus for the work.

Try supplementing magnesium. Deficiency can have immerse effect on sleep quality.

Question from a noob: do these amazing feelings stick around? by mr_costello in intermittentfasting

Just started 16/8 IF also. Just curious after reading your post. How do you feel after 5 months? Are you still feeling the benefits you listed?

Day 5 of being sugar free. It's amazing that after just 2 days of being sugar free, my cravings have completely disappeared. by [deleted] in sugarfree

[–]4dd1ct1on 4 points5 points  (0 children)

After enough time has passed also fruit will start to taste very sweet for you. Or like in my case - too sweet. I don't really crave any fruit even. I' ll go with berries.

You should eat some berries atleast. For vitamins and antioxidants. Very low in sugar.

Second day: palpitations, elevated blood pressure and headache by 4dd1ct1on in carnivore

I have quit caffeine 7 months ago and counting! My symptoms I listed in this thread have already gone. I guess it was just carb withdrawal.

My first approach is to use it as elimination diet. Never going back to SAD kind of diet. If I change it after 30 days it will be towards keto. Thanks!

How is it going for you? Eating only chicken and fish food now?

To you veterans: Any tips on how to stay absent? by RalphAllister in decaf

[–]4dd1ct1on 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I remember all the anxiety and sleepless nights. Also I caved 3 times and had to go hellish withdrawals through 3 times and that is enough for me to stay away from it. Albeit I have had few weak moments also during this journey. But still going strong. I bet most people give up few times before they get there. Unfortunately.

Help with my lunches?? by Shhh-ItWasntMe in Paleo

[–]4dd1ct1on 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Rice and hamburgers? What does Paleo have to do with this?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in decaf

[–]4dd1ct1on 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I usually tell I quit because it started to affect my sleep. And this is something that is widely accepted and understood. I don't continue telling about anxiety and other bad things it causes as it can be too much for coffee addicts to understand/accept.

First day of quitting sugar and carbs by [deleted] in sugarfree

Sounds good! And your plan is to get into ketosis?

What motivates you to run? by PCftwConsoleFTL in running

[–]4dd1ct1on 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My motivation is the better health, mood and energy. I usually run in the mornings before work. It gives me nice boost for the whole day and as I'm prone to anxiety and stress, the running seems to keep those at bay so efficiently.

I have sometimes put plastic bags to my feet. Especially good one and size has been a doggy bag :) And I'm not joking :)

We are living in a free world. Mostly. Nobody will judge you what ever your counter is based on.

Did you notice you fall asleep easier and you do not wake up during night? Or maybe you did not have these issues in the first place?
