caffine withdrawl

[Luckymommyx2]

I could kick myself for starting to drink sodas again! I started back up a month or two ago and now I think I would lose weight quicker if I could just kick my habit. I know when I did this before I got horrible headaches for awhile. My question is, do you think ice tea is bad too or is it okay? I make my own ice tea and put very little to no sugar in it and lemon.

Is all caffine bad or just sodas??

Caffeine is Caffeine --- no matter if the source is a diet soda or unsweetened iced tea.

Try making your own tea with de-caf regular or herbal teas.

Thanks Jody! Did you get my email yesterday? I couldn't get my picture to come up on the WISH thread and was hoping you could help. Let me know!

I've heard that tea has less caffeine than coffee. I don't know if there is any truth to it though.

I haven't given up my caffeine and don't plan to. I'm proud of you for doing this luckymommy

Good luck! I gave it up for about 6-8 months. I had to slowly wean myself off it (coffee) and I switched from regular tea to herbal tea. Then we went to England last year and I started drinking regular coffee/tea while I was over there! D'oh!

Now I mostly drink decaf coffee, but once in a while I'll have a cup or two of Maxwell House (my parents drink it) and a regular tea and it doesn't seem to make me too jittery or jumpy. However, if I drink something that has a big punch of caffiene (some coffee my sister brought back from France last year) then I'm wired all day and all night!

Hope you are able to cut down or give it up completely! I figure in moderation it's ok for me (for now!)
