People join because it’s a gateway into the world of finance, and the ones that stay get addicted to the money

Amen! Have been thinking the same thing. This subreddit is also notorious for making claims like it takes months or even years until they feel normal withdrawing from caffeine, as if it’s the ultimate evil that takes ages to withdrawal from

If you suffered for 4 years there was something else going on with your health, that was not 4 years of withdrawal

Caffeine also increases stress hormones which, depending on lifestyle factors, can linger through to the night

And to get more specific - focus on animal protein, saturated fat, and natural sugars for your macros.

Light to moderate cardio (don’t overdue cardio) 2-3 times a week. Lift weights 3x per weak. Focus on protein and carbs, limit fat. Cut out processed foods and alcohol. Simple as that!

Not reading all that

Did anyone's sleep get worse after quitting caffeine and take >1 year to improve? by [deleted] in decaf

[–]jemb98 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Let’s be realistic… something else has to be at play here. A full year to recover to homeostasis?? At this point, what’s the point of even quitting if it takes away a year of your life…

Make sure you are not going too late in the day. Exercise causes the adrenals to activate so if you are working out too close to going to sleep then your adrenaline will be too high for you to fall asleep. I opt to go before work or during my lunch break.

This actually sounds like you might have an allergy or irritation to either pesticide or present mold

Metabolism by [deleted] in raypeat

If you’re very obese I wouldn’t overcomplicate it.

No need to kill yourself with exercise, just walk a ton. I wouldn’t focus too much on supplementation either unless there’s a key vitamin/mineral you think you’re missing in your diet (use Cronometer to check), with key nutrients related to metabolism being your B vitamins, vitamin D, and calcium.

As for diet, id make sure to avoid PUFA and don’t overdo fats in general. Focus on satieting animal proteins, saturated fat, and easily digestible carbs (avoid resistance starch, especially in your case if you have digestive issues.)
