Starbucks made me my coffee!!!

Brilliant!!:D I'm glad that worked out. I know you have been missing your coffee. I am going to try it with Costa tomorrow- prefer Sbucks but meeting a friend there.
Hurrah for lattes!

Re Coffee
As you may have seen im thinking of starting the cd in a few weeks, at the moment my main source of liquid intake is coffee, white and sweet or if i have no milk black and strong, i know i drink too much coffee and have tried cutting down in the past but always land up with major headaches and caffiene withdral shakes, any help and advice.

I too was a real coffe drinker. My favourite tin g was to visit Cafe Nero, in my home town, who make THE VERY BEST coffee anywhere!!! But....... once I joined LL I decided that apart from the odd black americano or an espresso or two, I would try to go cold turkey !!! I had headaches, shakes etc, all abouut day 3-4.

However after that, that horrid feeling left as soon as it came. I felt fine, and still do! I do have the occasional black coffee, and if out will but one, but at home my drick of choice is now Clipper peppermint green tea. Thats a drink I never ever thought I would go for! It just shows how your tastes change on this plan.

Best of luck!
 
Hi Meneither, I am a great coffee drinker, coffee is now the only vice I have, I gave up the fags, booze & now food!
I now drink decaff coffee, I had to do it gradually by starting with one cup a day, then two & so on.
I still got a small headache, but I feel so much better, I actually am able to fall asleep at a reasonable time & not 1 or 2 in the morning.
Hope that helps.

Meneither, I had an horrific diet coke habit before starting LL, I too had a huge headache the first few days but after that it was gone. I loved caramel machiatos at starbucks, but the calorie content means I can't afford to have them too often once I finish management. Once I am back having milk I am planning on going for a skinny latte with sweetner in.
Good luck with giving up coffee, at least to the extent that you drink it!

I still drink loads of coffee:eek: I use tablet sweeteners but no milk. I often split a pack, whizz it up in the blender and pour it into a large half-filled mug of black coffee. I always have a glass of water alongside every coffee I drink.
 
Well I have been very good today only had 3 coffee's and about 3 litres of water have a slight headache but going to keep to it as planing on starting cd in 10 days dont want double whammy withdrawl symptoms.

Thanks for all your advice.

Hi Me,

Your doing great with only 3 coffee's.:) Well done on drinking 3 litres of water. Your right to do the preparation before hand as it will make it much easier starting your cd journey.


I use to drink a lot of coffee and the way I got off it was to reduce my intake gradually to avoid the headaches and jitters:p

I mostly drink tea now and for a treat I have the occassional coffee.

Love Mini xxx
