getting off stimulants Anonymous
hey /fit/,
I can't do anything all day long unless I've had soda, coffee, energy drinks, cigarettes and etc.
What should I do to stifle my consumption habits while not turning into a drooling slug?

Cut out soda and energy drinks completely, they're utterly useless. Once you get down to just coffee and cigarettes, let your body adjust to the sugar withdrawal, which should take 2-3 weeks. Then start smoking half of what your normally smoke a day for a few weeks, then quit cold turkey. Don't worry about coffee, it's good for you, unless you're drinking more than 3 cups a day.

I woke up about two hours ago and have had four of these big tall glasses of coffee. : S And I'm going to need to pick up a grande when I go out otherwise I'll feel sluggish.
I also wanted to know if the lack of zing in my diet would change my hyper, snarky demeanor?
And coffee's good for me?

Black coffee is good for you, anything other than that from Starbucks is shit. What I described in the post above is the easiest way in which you're not going to crash hard. You'll still feel the withdrawal symptoms, but you need to man the fuck up if you want to quit. Also, eat better quality foods and exercise.

Even if you drink more then 3 cups of coffee a day I don't believe it will affect you.

Unless you get addictied and get headaces when you don't drink

I don't get headaches when I don't drink coffee. I just stop..working. Entirely. I have zero motivation, zero energy, zero appetite, nada.

Switch to tea and/or yerba mate. Some stimulant effect, tasty, and decidedly good for you. Green and white teas seem to be the best for you, but some other teas have distinct benefits of their own. Buy loose-leaf, and throw some goji berries in your green tea for extra goodness.

Oh, and before anyone says goji berries are way too expensive, go look at a Chinese supermarket. They can be had for 1/4 the price as you pay at a health food store for them.

Caffeine thickens your blood. I recommend coming off of the shit altogether. It's not good man.

How about you read up on caffeine before your start spouting off the nonsense that your mother told you. Like I said before, moderate intake of caffeine is not harmful. Mega doses are.
