Here's what happened when a coffee addict gave it up for a week:
I'm a woman in her 20s with a full-time job, romantic relationship, and decent social life—and finding the energy to go to the office and spend quality time with my boyfriend and friends has been no easy feat. Add in a committed gym regimen and a love of binge watching Netflix, and it seems nearly impossible to stay awake through it all without caffeine.
The rules: I would steer clear of any and all caffeine including tea, chocolate, and soda for five days and see how I fared. This way, I would be able to reap the true benefits of a no-caffeine lifestyle.When I arrived at my office on Monday, I already felt out of sorts without my usual morning coffee. And like most offices, the temperature in mine feels sub-zero; all I wanted was a hot mug of coffee to hold on to and sip leisurely.
In fact, Largeman-Roth says people who drink more than 400 mg of caffeine a day are more likely to experience withdrawal symptoms like headaches and irritability. Luckily, I didn’t normally drink that much caffeine, so I figured I was in the clear.Why is everyone walking so slowly? Why is that guy talking so loudly? Why is New York filled with so many weird people?
Later in the day, I became extremely lethargic, but knew I had to rough it out for a 7:30 p.m. boxing class with friends. So I did the only thing a smart caffeine-abstaining person can do: Book an hour-long nap in a nap pod. As for chocolate, I did crave a little, probably because I wasn't getting any of that rich flavor that I usually would from my coffee. It was more about the flavor than the caffeine when it came to chocolate.
