Quit cold poultry. Caffeine is the devil
Yes, caffeine is toxic. You don't need anything more than 50mg on a regular basis.
>>77580524>t. chicken industry shill
>>77580521Yeah pots can catch you off guard. I was having probably 8 filter cups a day for months without realising it.Just scale it back. Substitute in an English tea every now and then, they have caffeine too
>>77580521I have to have the self-control to stop drinking coffee. If not I would also drink it all day. But at a certain point it is bad for your stomach and it is bad for your sleep.Just set yourself limits. I have 3-4 cups a day, one each with breakfast and lunch and one smaller cup afterwards.
I quit for two years but i started drinking again in January this year but i limit my coffee to one in the morning only, anything else than that is of the devil
I wish there was a consensus on coffee
>>77580550>>77580524These guys are pussies.>>77580521But you are drinking too much. No more than 400mg a day and it should be finished by no later than noon.>>77580684There is. It's one of the most studied things on the fucking planet. No one except dipshits here who don't even train would shit on it. In moderation it's fine and is proven to increase work capacity and reduce fatigue. It's effects persist even after you've developed a tolerance and don't get the same feeling of alertness. Literally every pro athlete, especially lifters, is taking caffeine in some form daily.
Jesus christ,nigga I drink a cup before working out and maybe some black tea if am feeling sleepy after,it's not fucking gatorade
>>77580684>>77580754Yeah being anti-coffee is a really peculiar /fit/ thing. I tend to come across some of the other contrarian opinions outside here like "running is bad for you" but nowhere else on the internet do you ask about get coffee and always get 2-3 quick replies about how coffee is toxic
>>77580754>Literally every pro athlete, especially lifters, is taking caffeine in some form daily.that's just a fuckin lie lol
>>77580521How do i decafmaxx? Is this bad for you?With decaf coffee. If you enjoy the ritual and taste, you can continue it without the buzz or crash. Plus still enjoy many of the alleged benefits without being dependent caffeine.
I wish i could drink more coffee. i fucking love caffeine, but i also enjoy sleep
>>77580521Theo El Capitani Von Kurnatowski>"no way, your name is Ckurnataowskyi?"
>>77581446We're actually all Mormons here, it's the secret sauce.
>>77581467It really fucking isn't dipshit. Caffeine is hands down the most ubiquitous PED there is. The sidelines of every major sporting event is guaranteed to have a bottle of caffeine tablets past around. Some players will intentionally abstain from it till game time to get the biggest boost from it. I'm a kinesiology grad student. I've spoken with multiple athletic directors/CSCS/coaches/etc from multiple schools with various D1 teams. Caffeine is EVERYWHERE. Why do you think 99.9% of preworkouts have caffeine as the main fucking ingredient. You don't know shit.
>>77580536Fix your bot, Dmitri.
>>77582411babby need bean juice babby so sweepy
>>77582395this explains a lot actuallyno wonder they're all so nice in person
>>77580754>>77582411There are no benefits to caffeine and there will never be proof of any. All of the "benefits" people talk about are just an alleviation of caffeine withdrawal after not taking any for a while. Especially in the morning when you haven't taken any for +12 hours.It "improves concentration" because caffeine withdrawal gives you headaches, brain fog and tiredness. Consuming caffeine will remove those symptoms caffeine caused in the first place (only for a few hours).The cope and mental gymnastics of people addicted to this shit is wondrous to look at.Here's what caffeine actually does to your body: (undisputed facts you can easily check on Google)>constricts blood vessels EVERYWHERE>severely reduces blood flow to the brain>reduces blood flow to the skin, causing dehydration and accelerated aging>nukes your gut microbiome with its antibacterial properties>stunts growth in teenagers and children>prevents the absorption of minerals, is one of the main causes of low iron levelsAnd a long etcetera of effects listed in pic related. It's from a book that explains it in detail written by an actual scientist with dozens of sources for everything he claims.
>>77582924yeah but i love a fresh cup of joe
>>77582924decaf coffee ONLY from now on
>>77582924>actual scientist>NutritionistLOL. That's bullshit. It cites nothing but that book. Meanwhile there are hundreds of studies on caffeines effects as a CNS stimulant. The FACT that it can increase your max lifts and reduce fatigue are practically scientific laws. I'm confident this bullshit pasta is being spread by either some kind of hippy faggot or some mentally ill schizo turd that blames caffeine for their woes. Either way, you're 100% wrong and your pussy ass "caffeine blues" proves nothing. Caffeine in moderation is not toxic at all, and if you suffer any ill effects, it's a sign you had some other bullshit ass health issues going on with yourself. >>77582422So compelling, really proving you're not fucking retarded with this one.
>>77581446Autistic people (4Chan is well known for attracting) Hold staunchly contrarian opinions most of the time, and generally engage in furthering groupthink when in an environment with contrasting opinions
>>77580521>wake up>fresh espresso from my machine at home>after breakfast have a Monster White Ultra Zero because nothing is better than that first sip of the day (I’m 36)>after lunch have another espresso but from the barIs this bad
>>77583416Caffeine addiction can cause fatigue althoughbeit
>>77580521One cup is enough. Anything more than that you are drinking out of boredom. It's not a coffee problem, you have a boredom problem.
>>77582924>It "improves concentration" because caffeine withdrawal gives you headaches, brain fog and tiredness. Consuming caffeine will remove those symptoms caffeine caused in the first place (only for a few hours).If you've been addicted to caffeine for years, then quit for weeks/months, you can get an amazing high when you have another cup, even though symptoms of abstinence like headaches are gone and you feel completely normal
>>77583764I tapered off caffeine at the beginning of the year and have been free for six months. I had something going on that I desperately needed energy for while working on 0 hours of sleep so I drank two cups yesterday. Felt like shit and still have a headache today. Feels bad. I had drank coffee since I was 9. I'm just realizing now how terrible of an addiction it is and isn't needed.Anyone else trying to quit coffee here's the taper what I did with each lasting 1-2 weeks:Normal 2-3 cups a day.1 coffee 1 black tea2 black teas1 black tea 1 green tea2 green teas1 green tea (longest taper period)No more caffeine.
>>77583764that sounds more like a pavlovian responseAll caffeine fucking does is hide the internal low fuel light. Look it the fuck up. It basically just tricks your brain into thinking there's no adenosine buildup and it's the lamest fucking stimulant in existence. I can't for the death of me understand why idiots cream themselves over it to the extent they do.
