![]() For me personally, I feel best when I'm completely off all stimulants. I think the optimal situation is whatever works for you. As for me, I'm down with green tea and never going back to coffee. I think the only way to tell what works best for you is to reset to 0 for a couple weeks (or more), and then see how you feel when introducing various caffeinated substances. I'm sure there are many folks on this sub who are very sensitive to caffeine, and probably do best when avoiding all forms of it. I think this was helpful to be able to judge the effects of reintroducing green tea. I did completely cut out caffeine in all forms for ~2 weeks, just to reset to a baseline. If I skip green tea in the morning, I can still exist in the world without having a complete fucking meltdown, which in my book is a vast improvement over coffee :P I don't experience these negative side effects with green tea. Coffee made me tense, drained, and out of touch with my body, but I also couldn't function without it. For me, 1-2 cups of green tea per day feels gentle and sustainable. Would everyone in this subreddit say go 0 caffeine? Or is green tea fine? What would be the negative effects of a daily cup of matcha? Input greatly appreciated! I'm getting some benefits from Green tea, but is the caffeine not worth the good part? I'm very interested in opinions on green tea and matcha. Has my situation improved? Undoubtedly, but I'm still not sure about the optimal situation. So here I am, coffee free, but still drinking caffeine in tea. From what I've read, tea has some cofactors that prevent the caffeine from hitting our body so badly as coffee does. Unlike coffee, I can drink green tea even in the afternoon and still sleep well (while I don't make a practice of it). It has a boatload of purported benefits and it actually doesn't bother me at all on days I don't have it. ![]() From what I have read, matcha has about half or less the amount of caffeine as coffee. That said, I have gone directly from coffee to green tea matcha. No chance of ever going back to it in my mind. So I am officially completely coffee free. Not to mention the entire economy of Columbia! From the swanky coffee House of today to something akin to McDonald's. If a study came out condemning coffee Starbucks would instantly be tarnished with a Scarlet letter. Seems to me like big coffee has paid for all the research. I always enjoyed drinking coffee, but the health aspect never made sense to me. All over the media, we are told how healthy coffee is and it's benefits and reassured that it is good to drink coffee even in high amounts. ![]() For months, I had been going back and forth about to keep drinking coffee or not. How could the tiny amount of coffee I was drinking be so brutal on my health?ģ. ![]() This basically was the nail in the coffee coffin for me. Seems like nothing right? Well I found myself waking up at 3an with terrible neck headaches, withdrawal!!! Just from those two shots 2 times a week I was having withdrawal at least once a week. I returned to coffee in the form of espresso - 2 shots ONLY on gym days for the purported benefits. ![]() It just felt wrong drinking such a large amount.Ģ. Simply went out of hand even realizing it. Once I quit because my coffee consumption had gone from 12 oz to 24, then to 48 oz over time. I am not sure if it is worth looking past.ġ. How does everyone feel about the caffeine from Green tea / matcha? I feel certain that it is less harmful than coffee, and possibly somewhat beneficial.
