Would Polar Bears live longer if they were right-handed? Discuss.
I had an apple for breakfast and feel great. I cut out coffee six months ago and have never looked back. I know they say it keeps you awake but I have defo been sleeping better since I stopped drinking it! Can't give up the chocolate though!
Sandra, I'm trying to give up coffee but really struggling, what are you drinking instead? I'm trying water and herbal teas!
Hi TC, this is great, chatting via the blog. I have to admit that I miss coffee everyday and people still make me one automatically which is tres tough but I have probably only succumbed twice since giving up in October and am really pleased with myself. Like you I'm living off water and finding some of the flavoured waters the best, like elderflower which I love, but they are quite sweet.
I also drink herbal teas but tend to favour Twinnings Lemon & Ginger Tea which works for me. I have one in the morning - which perks me up for work - and one in the evening which seems to relax me wonderfully. Sorry I can't be more helpful but if you find anything better please let me know.
I have concluded that nothing gives you the buzz of coffee but that may not be a bad thing!
Thanks Sandra, I agree - nice to chat. I've discovered Twinings Raspberry & Echanacea which is okay as long as I drink it hot (so usually leave half a cup). Thanks for the tips - I'm determined to stick with it - I was in danger of becoming addicted to caffeine!
