I initially quit caffeine because I was experiencing
- fatigue
- insomnia
- acid reflux
- chest pains
- anxiety/panic attacks
All of those (except fatigue) disappeared immediately after quitting caffeine

However, the downsides were
- increased hunger
- even but LOW energy levels
- nothing giving me a "burst" of energy when I wanted it
As someone who's working on losing weight, the increased hunger was a killer

So last Tuesday, 7/14, I had a large cold brew coffee
Approximately 350mg of caffeine
I didn't know how my tolerance would be or what would happen
But I like to experiment...

After the first few sips, I felt that euphoric energy surge I used to feel years ago
I was on top of the world
But it faded after about 10 minutes
In its place, I started having chest discomfort
My heart started beating harder and I felt anxious

Of course, drinking such a large coffee after a long break was dumb
But I wasn't even halfway through it yet!
And it had also sat and diluted for a long time
After about 2 hours, I finally finished the coffee

I never again felt any "buzz" from that cup
Just chest pains for the rest of the day
The lone benefit was that I wasn't hungry for the rest of the day
I almost forgot to eat at all because I was so busy

Each day since, I've had a much smaller serving of coffee each day
None of them have given me a buzz or boost
I haven't been very hungry, which has helped weight loss
But I've also had the chest pains almost every day

So, I've decided that over the next few days
I'm quitting caffeine again - this time for good
I'll use it sparingly after another month or so break
But I won't go back to regular use again

As for the hunger, I'll find another way to deal with it
I'm planning to do a 5 day fast sometime soon
Reset my body and mind a little
But that's not all...

Next week
I'm writing a guide to teach you how to entirely quit caffeine
Or just cut back if that's all you want to do
Best part is, it'll be FREE!
Keep an eye out for it!
