    I quit coffee cold turkey! I would drink sometimes 3 mega mugs a day. I started feeling really depleated; and with that much coffee I knew it wasn’t something my body was happy about. I had a massive headache for 4 days! But now I have 1 cup a week. I try not to have any because I don’t want to fall back into that habit of not being able to function without it. I drank green tea the whole time hoping that the “slamming on the breaks” wouldn’t be too harsh. I feel great about this accomplishment. Because not only was I drinking coffee, but I was drinking it with full fat/full sugar creamers. You know the kind…those Coffee Mate yummy non-dairy creamers! NOT great for me! I think I’ve cut back on a few hundred calories just by quitting my caffeine craze!
