Eliminate Coffee In Only Five Weeks With These Five Steps
If you have become addicted to coffee or are you suffering from the effects of too much caffeine, going cold turkey on your addiction may do more harm than good. Consider these five easy steps to eliminating coffee and caffeine in five weeks.
It’s a common cure for a lazy morning and often used to jump start a long afternoon: coffee. Joe. Java. Coffee is one of the most addictive substances in the world today. But how much is too much? Are you feeling irritable or constipated on a somewhat regular basis? Plagued by headaches or perhaps suffering from bouts of nausea? Chances are your body is receiving too much caffeine and you’ve decided you are ready to remove it from your diet once and for all. Or are you? Consider your coffee release carefully. Check in with your emotions and determine the sincerity of your desire to stop your coffee intake and,
please, do not decide to go ‘cold turkey’ with this one. Instead, use my five-week plan to support you in this change.
Week One: Delete one cup of coffee from your daily routine. If you consume two or more cups of coffee per day, then begin by reducing that amount by just one cup per day for this week. You may still drink the remaining cups you would ordinarily consume.
Week Two: Make 1 of your ordinary cups of coffee be a cup of decaffeinated brew. After cutting back to 1 less cup per day, move on to the next step: make one of those remaining cups per day a decaffeinated cup for one week.
Week Three: Blend the brew. You’re doing great! You’ve reduced your coffee intake and slowly introduced your taste buds to a decaffeinated version. Are you ready for the next step? Here’s what to do: Make your remaining coffee allotment a combination of half regular coffee and half decaffeinated coffee. Drink these combined coffees for the next two weeks.
Week Four: It’s high time for tea. You’ve been following the coffee elimination plan regularly and you’re probably starting to notice some subtle changes in your moods and your body. That’s great! Keep moving forward to even greater health and well-being by switching your coffee cup for a tea cup. For one week you’ll be drinking only black tea. “But wait a minute,” you say. “Doesn’t black tea have just as much caffeine as coffee does?” That’s true but tea is much softer on the intestines. Try it and see how you feel. I bet you’ll notice the rewards of no more shakes and sweats and the coffee breath will be gone!
Week Five: You’ve got this plan down to a ‘T’! You’ve been treating your body very well these past few weeks. Your body is now used to the tea family and is loving it. A cup of tea leaves you feeling fully satisfied and refreshed. So, now that you are used to having only tea, let’s take the final step and move to a type of tea that has a lesser form of caffeine: green tea. You’ll be drinking green tea from now on. Hot or cold, green tea has a number of health benefits for all the many systems in your body. Congratulations! You have succeeded in removing coffee from your diet. Your intestines love you, you have natural energy and your body is responding in healthier way.
