What is the substitute for caffeine you used? Can you share a link to the product to see what it is about? (I'm hoping I can also access it as a French)
Thanks!

#302You quit coffee, not caffeine per se. How do coffee drinkers keep track of how much caffeine they drink?
I actually did quit caffeine, but I didn't entirely quit coffee. The alternative I drink (Rasa) has zero caffeine. So I do drink zero caffeine now, outside of a cup of decaf coffee maybe once or twice a week which is negligible. I also don't drink soda.

My point is that coffee is not just caffeine; you quit caffeinated coffee.
Re: I quit caffeine
#304I'm curious if there are a lot of people like this that really feel some extreme effect from caffeine like this. I've read articles about people drinking too much, too little, being addicted, or having withdrawal symptoms, but I never really experienced any of that during my coffee-life so far. I also don't often meet people that do, but sometimes when I do meet someone that has a really intense relationship with caf…
This comment could be written by me a year ago. Only when I drove my caffeine consumption to zero for a whole week (no coffee, no tea, no coke..) I had this massive headache. I am now back to one or two cups of coffee per day, which I enjoy much more.
I'd like to report an experiment I did for the last 12 days; I drank no coffee or tea with caffeine (only rooibos, water and isotone sports drink), didn't notice much except if I smelled coffee I'd feel like "I would enjoy some of that".
Today just had my first cup again, tasted great and no noticeable change then either. I wasn't sure if maybe I'd taken the wrong beans and I had wanted to try a new Ethiopian bean for a different taste and no change then either (well, except maybe that after two cups over 6 hours I didn't really feel like another one).
Maybe I just got lucky (genetically) or it takes a bit more time to feel significant effects.
