OMFG! I'm giving up coffee.

I am cutting back on the caffene as well. I used to drink coffee in the AM and about 5 sweet tea's every day. I went to unsweet tea and one sugar in my coffee, I'm fine with that now. Now I'll try to switch to decaf coffee in the Am and one sweet tea and refills of water ( not 4 tea refills at lunch and dinner!). Basically I'm cutting back on the sugar,then the caffene.

Ultimatley, I think one caffene bev. per day is fine, and cutting it totally out will lead to a relapse. Moderation is my motto.

So, don't feel like you are alone! I'll think of you when I'm ordering my charbucks and you'll keep me in-line to order the decaf.
Good luck .

Gradually leading to moderation is the key.

Switch to tea, especially green or oolongs. They still have some caffeine, but it's significantly less that coffee and the health benefits of tea are enormous. But switch to GOOD tea - loose teas, not that tea bag crap. Go to Adagio.com and order some of the their green and oolong samplers.

Tim drinks a ton of coffee and it has stunted his growth. That should be incentive enough to make the switch.

Another thing you can do to thwarth the double-mocha-chinco-latte-expresso cravings is to eat muffins, especially the tops which are the most tasty part.
