I do 2 cups a day. Probably not gonna give it up. Don't drink or smoke so coffee is my thing I guess
Most Americans today..which is why overall health is terrible. " X food is my thing...so im not going to change ". Good luck
I take caffeine pills as needed. It's not ideal, but it's fine, you'll be fine too.
@@rawx485 I don't get withdrawal if I stop.
@@TheHouseOfRonin Idk, she says she doesn't smoke or drink. She's watching a Dr DeLauer vid. Odds are, she's relatively healthy.
I drink 2 cups of coffee to. No more than 2. I’m fine .
I've been drinking decaf for 20 years. I don't drink coffee for a jolt, I just like the flavour
I cut down tremendously and have noticed a major difference overall… videos like this really help! Thanks
This is very helpful thank you!
Me drinking a homemade iced coffee:
“Interesting”
I recently learned that Coffee can actually reduce blood flow to the brain (being the vasoconstrictor that it is) by up to around 30%. Im currently hammering out/correcting my sleep schedule (about to change shifts to accommodate) but until then ive been "co-supplementing" with cerebral flow boosters like Theanine, Ginkgo etc. To offset until I ratchet down my caffeine.
Ill still enjoy my cold brew now and then...but there is no amount of mental gymnastics i can turn to make an excuse for essentially "needing" something Daily that is fairly detrimental to chasing optimal health.
Maybe you should read about the benefits for the liver, the key detoxifying and fat burning organ in the body before you suggest that. It's one of the most liver protective substances ever found and has been repeatedly confirmed in study after study.
Anything that greatly enhances and protects the key detoxifying and fat burning organ in the body in an environment that increasingly introduces more and more toxins and foods that introduce more and more things that clog up fat burning potential of the liver by definition cannot be bad for your health.
@@matterman2003something having a few benefits doesn’t mean “it can’t be bad for your health”… major logical misstep on that one.
@matterman2003 Brother I'm not sure if you're trying to convince me, or convince yourself there's nothing wrong with X amount of coffee/Caffeine consumption...but I've been supplementing & cross referencing studies on hundreds of nutritional subjects for like 2 decades now.
First you have a clear amount of hyperbole in your statement, yes coffee seems to reduce liver fibrosis...but the extra exaggeration with words like "greatly..ever discovered" is infomercial-esque language designed to sell products. Just off the top of my head; herbs like Dandelion root or Milk Thistle, even simple MSM (organic sulfur) are FAR more beneficial to the liver.
I'm not here to convince people of anything, there are a few papers out in the last year or so clearly showing a degree of detriment to the brains function from longterm consumption. But to each their own.
@@Zenfluence81curious on those studies. Do you happen to know if it was Black organic coffee? And if it was consumed heated or cooled down?
I started decaf with mushroom adaptogens in the am and full strength quad espresso mid day. My stress level is noticeably different. I’m in great health and sleep great. Don’t need am caffeine
Dont really drink coffee to keep me awake but just enjoy the process of making an espresso and the taste. So decaf or even half caf has been working well for me!
Cold Brew Decaf here lol, even before i ever starting drinking coffee. I absolutely LOVE the smell in the morning, and I've found a few brands that make some delicious grounds that I brew overnight =]
Great video thanks for sharing.
I buy only organic decaf Swiss water process no chemical coffee ! It has so little caffeine being decaf and it tastes amazing ! Mount Hagen organic decaf ! Two small cups a day only . No sugar or junk added to it just a little organic half n half
I drink me some coffee. It’s all that I have left. PEACE! ☮️ ✌🏻
God bless you Thomas , you and your content are a blessing .
Can you talk about other "inputs" which create an increase in the availability of Dopamine Receptors ? Tks
I don't get the jitters at all. It's happened maybe twice in my life, and not in a long time. Quite frankly, I don't even feel pumped by caffeine. I've had the caffeine headaches before, but it's relatively easy for me to avoid them. Thus, my drink of choice has been and remains tea, and I have 1-to-3 cups of coffee a day. FWIW, I generally drink a lot of tea, but I've cut back on all caffeine before, quite easily. It's much easier than just going cold turkey.
PS: If you choose to abstain from caffeine on an extended fast, I'd be willing to bet a complete reset in 5-to-7 days, giving the cleansing nature of a fast.
I have ONE strong bulletproof coffee when I wake up, and that’s it for the day, I drink lemon slices in water or herbal teas mostly, mint and fennel
Try to wait a couple hours after you wake up so you don't spike your cortisol too much....unless that is your goal of course
True. No a good idea when you just wake
@@Jon--Jones ok! I never knew that so thank you! ☕️
@@henryDzieciontko As two folk have told me now, I’ll take that advice, thanks! 👍🏼
What happens close to the time of waking up ?
I take in about 500mg before lunch (about two cups of coffee), then nothing more after about 11:00 AM. I don't feel any downside and have good energy most of the time. I've been sleeping okay, too.
Duuude. I stopped regularly having caffeinated coffee 24 years ago. Since then, I have a decaf iced coffees daily (love the taste) but only have regular coffee when I need to be hyped up a little. Works great. And it only takes like, one espresso, to get me in that state. Highly recommend.
Spoiler alert: I won’t
I love coffee in the morning and I measure exactly 1/4 cup of whole beans to grind when I make my coffee with a French Press and blend with sea salt, stevia and MCT oil. However, I make sure to skip a few days each month to make sure I'm not dependent on it like a drug.
Gave up coffee last year and it’s the best thing I’ve ever done. Sleep, digestion, and mood are all vastly better.
You must’ve drank more then 2 cups a day.
Same. And nope 1 8 oz cup a gay, some people are caffeine sensitive even Decaff can trigger me.
already been doing this caffeine EOD experiment for over a year. working well until now. lethargic on off days, but extra productive on caffeine days. sensitivity has also remained unchanged.
My sweet spot is caffeine during the week, no caffeine for the weekend and those two days off seem to keep the sensitivity high and I don’t get withdrawals at all every now and then when I go 4-5 days
Why does caffeine give me headaches if I only have it once every few months? I'm not addicted to it soI shouldnt be experiencing these headaches if there is nothing to have a withdrawal reaction from. Unless its not a withdrawal headache, its something else?
I personally drink Cold Brew DECAF Coffee. I've noticed when I drink Caffeinated Coffee that I do sometimes get the jitters and have also had increased Anxiety (I already have generalized Anxiety) so I have no problem drinking coffee while stay away from the Caffeine. My largest battle is trying to cut Soda out of my life (mainly Coca Cola) because it's been something I drink daily for the last like 25 years.
Now if I can get rid of the soda, then the only source of Caffeine I'm getting is what? black and green tea? which is such a small amount, I get more awake simply by going out back and soaking up the sun before I leave for work or roll my windows down on my drive and also soak in the sun without my sunglasses on. Getting hit with that light really gets me to be energized. Thankfully I live in Southern California too, so we get a lot of sun =]
Take thiamine and watch your jitters and anxiety vanish.
This video came as quite the coincidence.
I just had a morning decaf for the routine and later on a 50/50 decaf.
I'll have another 50/50 before workout.
Less than once a month I'll chew a piece of nicotine gum at the gym. Nicotine gets a bad rap but has its benefits.
I have tried to stop cold turkey but got terrible headaches. So I don't drink it everyday. I also changed to mushroom coffee.
i got addicted 5 years ago to caffeine. Now taking 300mg daily. I know it’s good for me - to get rid of it, but in that case I’ll have to take vocation for about 6 months or so, to overcome that zombie mood while caffeine off. Just can’t afford it.
thanks for sharing your way of “decaffing” , Thomas. I’ll try this
Been there stepanmc, one curve to help is getting on the plain old hot water and some🍋. The hot beverage part truly starts awakening, the lite acid vitaC introduction is goood. Learned this from a 78 yr indian fella that i used to work with at an Automotive shop in college. Hot/hot-warm water on a empty stomack, so u can drink it down in couple mins. Then checking out herbal teas too, best to you with cutting down that addiction/ dependency. You can DO IT DUDE.☕️
Caffeine is good for you - lol stop believing all this crap
How do you balance the addiction to exercise?
Onto my second cup of blk joe this morning ! haha I have cut back tho. Hydrating more with electrolytes and filtered H2O instead of coffee nowadays. Gr8 work YOU!!
I was planning to (temporary) stop consuming coffee, and restrict caffeine to see how i react. I am very addicted for years at this point
I like making a cold brew concentrate and adding a small amount to my daily herbal tea concoction. 😋
Why do we have to worry or try and be "perfect" with EVERY SINGLE FREAKI G LITTLE ASPECT/THING that we do? Why can't we just ENJOY something/ONE thing WITHOUT analyzing it, or trying to do/use it in the exact supposedly "best" possible way? Is it honestly going to make ALL that much if a difference in the overall grand scheme, or big picture? Again the STRESS of worrying/trying to do EVERY SINGLE LITTLE MINISCULE ASPECT of our daily lives as "perfectly" as we possibly can will likely cause far more damage and issues than whatever it is we're worried about likely ever will/would.
Why can't we just enjoy our cups of coffee/tea, etc without having to stress, or over analyze things? 🙄
Seems like you are over-analyzing. Just enjoy it in moderation then, nobody is stopping you!
Word. Same with Food. And Training. Be active. Do all in Moderation and be aware about all the really Bad things for your Body. Balance is key.
But Enjoy Life and have fun
@ludwigstenberg1050 That's exactly what I'm saying. Why can't we just do that instead of having to, or trying to over analyze/think about HOW we can do everything "perfectly" or "optimally"?
I get it's about creating content, but I'm sure there are plenty of subjects/topics to choose from that are likely far more significant/less nitpicky than worrying about drinking 1 or 2 extra cups of coffee. 🙄 But maybe it's just me.
@kapuzineraffe88 Exactly. This may sound rather frivolous but I basically use the mindset/philosophy concerning "bad" foods, etc of - Make them ONCE IN A BLUE MOON EXCEPTIONS RATHER THAN REGULARLY OCCURRING RULES. Especially if we've already changed our former habits or lifestyle into a more focused, healthy, and disciplined one.
I think trying to get everything in life perfect is the 8th deadly Sin. Hubris!
What do you think about Shilajit?
What the block dopamine in then better caffeine to
I switched to decaf years ago except for the occasional morning full caffeine cup.
Lol my method for leveraging caffeine is by adding espresso or caffeine powder to my coffee. Pretty much drink 2-3 cups of coffee daily, but some days that is around 1000 mg of caffeine, other days it’s 3-400. Probably not ideal but better than when I was doing 3000-4000mg a day
3000mg 0.o
Still no numbers! With moderate consumption, the perceived possible problems are negligible! Up and down "like a rollercoaster", but within an unspecified RANGE, means you don't know the height of the coaster's hills. In our experience rollercoasters have impressive intimidating hill heights, so we imagine this unspecified range to be great, when it may well be so small as to be negligible--too small to be meaningful.
I just undulate my intake daily. I train every other day so I have about 300-400mg of caffeine worth of cold brew those days and half that on off days
Coffee is worth dieing for
Hi Thomas - can you talk on longer extended fasts - say 14 - 54 days
I just started drinking green tea today so I can ween off the coffee 😂 I know there's caffeine in it as well...baby steps. Thank you for the info Thomas.
I switched to D CAF years ago. But the habit is still very addictive ;)
I think there is something special about “coffee caffeine “ that has an effect on people and especially ones that have anxiety, depression etc. it’s like no other sources provide remotely similar beneficial effects.
True. No amount of caffeine in other forms feels like coffee.It’s a whole chemistry set like chocolate.
@@geraldfriend256 absolutely but what are your thoughts on raw cacao powder ?
Oh shit. Biltong so good. Had some on Safari back in 2003
No way I would stop drinking coffee! My two cups of coffee in the morning are a must !
I been drinking 2 cups of coffee every morning , I’m going for the rest of the day.
I have 1 large cup of coffee every morning! I have 3 kids and also run a daycare in my home. That cup keeps me sane!😅
I’ve got two and homeschool. If I tried a daycare I’d have to have something much stronger then coffee😂
🤣🤣
Are u drinking that sweet cup of Joe black?? Do u consume coffee first thing or with your morning with breakfast and make it lasst. Just curious 🤔.. I been there, I've tried mud/ water, drop some mct coco oil in there, real cacao, cinnamon and I whip/mix it goood... ( Best to you with your daycare and everything ;)
The caffeine is so much lighter but there's a good mix of nutrients going on that turns on a new switch in your mind/ body .
@@ryanmac5708 a bit of unsweetened almond milk and stevia.
Replace coffee with Zurvita zeal
Been taking coffee every morning and I really dont feel any bad effects. I'm also taking Dihexa or Bromantane from Swisschems to boost my mental endurance, focus and concentration through out the day.
I love the taste of a good cup of medium roast coffee in the am. When I drink decaf coffee, I have no energy the entire day. 🙄
Instead of coffe, drink hot cacao. Much lower caffein and the theobromine in cacao also has great health benefits. Just remember to make it sugar free.
What about dopamine and decaf. I drink decaf because it helps me sleep better. If I don't drink it, it doesn't improve my sleep so I figure, why not. I use a little stevia and a little cream, btw.
What is decaf ? Never knew what is actually is. And how does it help you with sleep ?
@@DimashCastellucci The caffeine is removed (actually just lowered) with water before grinding it down.
@@showersdpn cheers. Does it improve your sleep or does it not hamper your regular sleep quality ?
@@DimashCastellucci Both. I like how it makes me feel during the day and it doesn't interfere with my sleep at night.
I only use it occasionally before I train
I switched to decafe to improve my sleep. Works great!! ❤😂🎉
It is 7:30 am somewhere....LOL.
Most of the time I visit casinos and they have free coffee, I go for the decaf style. Because I may now and then get a different caffeine drink later on. Getting the hot drink in the body helps burn more.
I actually take my antidepressant with both black, and green teas. Maybe that's why I don't feel depressed all the time.
Im addicted to coffee itself, not the caffeine. I switched to decaf a while back and when i dont have my morning coffee, i miss it!
I'm drinking coffee while watching, lol.
I am still going to drink the same amount of coffee. 😅
Standing right there with you ☕️
I recently purchased a pound of ground French Chicory. I now make my coffee with Chicory. The chicory in my first cup of coffee is equal in volume to 1/2 of the coffee grounds. Now my first cup of coffee is my only cup of coffee. Before I added chicory, I usually drank 3 or even 4 cups of coffee in the morning. I no longer want more than my first cup. I have no idea why.
Had a little coffee today after a month without it. Felt like crap. What are they putting in it?
Often there is mold.
@Dbb27 I've heard pieces of bugs too. Nasty third world dirt drink
If the science says caffeine can increase alertness, well-being, help concentration, improve mood, that’s good enough for me to continue my 1.5 cups of coffee per day. And at my age, I’ll take my dopamine any way I can. Besides, the more you see the world through rose-colored glasses, the better to manifest your dreams, and before you know it those hypothetical $100 bills become a reality.
It does have those benefits, but after awhile you build tolerance to that amount. That's why Thomas mentions having it every other day, it gives the brain a break and will increase the effectiveness of the caffeine.
My baseline is one pot. On days I need more… two pots.
yall tell us to fast with coffee, then also publish coffee is bad. maybe we will just eat air from now on sir.
Next week he will say the opposite. I'm sure he just forgets what he puts out previously!
It's not really that it's bad, it's that it is addictive and can be bad if people take it too far.
but thumbnails shouldn't be so polarizing tbh@@seths2884
From memory his last video about coffee said to drink 4 or more cups a day to increase lifespan
Love my coffee too much to stop, but cut down? Maybe. Currently I do 3-4 cups a day, well, 3-4 Keurig pods a day, at 10 ounce each.
That’s a lot of plastic you could avoid.
I'll have up to 6 cups in a day, but usually more like 3. And i stop before 4pm.
I was concerned about coffee ☕️ my Dr. advised it’s perfectly healthy to have up to 3 cups per day or 400mg. of caffeine 🤔
I’m going to try your strategy of every other day 😁🙌🏻
I’m writing this before I listen based on the title. I’m not about to give up the cup of coffee that I occasionally enjoy. That would be 16 oz of half caff at the most once a week sometimes I will go more than month. I have CKD and not sure if it is ok for kidneys some experts say yay and some say nay. I enjoy the acquired taste. Decaf coffee is not appealing to me due to the mud in the bottom of the cup
I sorry I need it every day…..😢
Watching this while drinking coffee.
I was never a coffee drinker.
It's worth just deferring your morning coffee for a couple of hours after you wake up to make sure your brain clears all the adenosine, that way you avoid an afternoon crash.
why does no one ever talk about just drinking Decaf tho? I mean if people love their Coffee, drink Decaf. It's got like 3% the amount of Caffeine. Shouldn't make yourself rely upon a stimulant to "wake up" or "stay awake."
@@Tyler_Durden_562decaf doesn't taste very good.
You haven't had proper good decaf. They are out there. Decaf for 24 years here. Try Caffe Fresco in Pennsylvania. Small artisan roaster. EXCELLENT decaf.@@CSFlock
@@womanofacertainage5892 thank you, I appreciate the suggestion and will give it a try.
@@CSFlock you have to find water washed decaf. Most companies just add a chemical that makes the caffeine inactive. Lord only knows what the chemicals are. It will say on the label if it’s water washed.
Help! I started again. Way too much I can't sleep. 😢
I never drank coffee until about 4 years ago after I had my daughter. Now I’m a full blown addict! Worst thing is though I also have panic disorder and the caffeine makes the symptoms worse! I’m trying to kick the habit just based on that. I’ve tried before several times and failed though 😞
Biltong yum!! 🤩💪👌
i @m w@tching this high on c@ffine lol
when I have no sleep because the kids I make coffee in morning I start thinking about my night wasn’t too bad and my life is protect
#can be worse lol
I detoxed from caffeine, for the first time in my life of 45 years, this summer, and I'll tell you i have never been so tired in my whole life. My Qi gong teacher calls it the Chi Credit Card. Adrenal fatigue is real. Quitting took 3 days and a lot of migraine & vomiting.
I hope never to get trapped in that terror pit again..
Back to coffee, but only decaf. I benefit from the digestive help.
Cold turkey can come with many side effects. Tried cold and didn’t succeed. Then I set up a four month weaning program and it worked with no side effects.
To me drinking caffeine is like wearing those sunglasses from the film They Live.
Best description ever
Coffee is the most addictive thing I've ever encountered. Quitting smoking was much much easier and I smoked 2 packs a day for 20years. Have been experiencing a lot of trouble with stopping the stuff. 😢
It's funny... I always thought I was addicted to coffee, but it really was just the "ritual" of going to work and bringing a cup to the desk, before I started working. But during lockdown, I never 'went' to work, and so I noticed that I actually never drank coffee at home, and I didn't even miss it.
I am in the process to remove the addition and only drink it if I Want it 🙃 😅
i gave up coffee and weed because i was basically using one to balance out the other haha, traded them both in for fish oil
Good for you! It takes discipline but getting away from anything that screws with your brain is great.
So many cultures drink coffee, in Italy they have their espresso
In Ethiopia they have traditional coffee socials
and both of these cultures seem “healthier” on the whole
We seem to make everything so complicated with diet here in the U.S. and clearly it’s not helping
with the obesity rate close to 40%
Caffeine makes me anxious. Can't touch it
1 coffee a day and one bar of dark chocolate, other than that its green tea
I’ve said this before on all your other videos on coffee. I don’t drink, I don’t smoke, and I don’t eat garbage. I also partake in the supplements and advice on this channel, but I’ll be dammed if I’m giving up coffee. You gotta have one thing you love still that’s bad for you.
Well, I can tolerate lots of strong coffee and it does nothing to or for me.
Best part of giving up coffee is to not be beholding to the morning ritual of getting that cup of coffee. The expense and gaining some real estate on my kitchen counter top. I weaned over four months after trying cold turkey and falling. No side effects by taking it slow. Coffee can also have mold in it. Ewww. 😂. I also find my energy level no longer takes an afternoon dip. Energy is steady all day.
I think dopamine should be outlawed........(sarcasm)
The word is "addictive".
Never drank coffee or energy drinks, still having all those issues 😂
Coffee is just like smoking. When you're addicted you enjoy the taste and smell, but when you quit that addiction it doesn't smell nice at all. Coffee smells gross now.
Ditto! I wonder why I ever started.
Hey don't taste shame us bitter tooths lol
That’s why fasting resets the dopamine receptors. So you don’t need to increase X to get the dopamine hit.
I prefer coffee over tea.
I just have a bottle of coffee a day, but I'm not addicted. I can quit whenever I want.
50 mg of caffeine bro? Lol I literally can drink that when I wake up to take a piss and go right back to sleep no problem. When you said “think of a baseline amount of caffeine for yourself” I literally thought “400mg”
❤
Caffeine raises blood pressure so make first cup every day decaf….
My blood pressure runs low, so regular coffee is good for me.
I find I need caffeine pills to get thru days where my job has me doing nothing and sitting on my ass all day. If I am up, moving, and using my head... no caffeine needed.
