The_buster Posted March 25, 2014 Report Share Posted March 25, 2014 I have lost some weight now want to lose more by cutting back the amount of pop I drink. What are other ways to get caffeine that isn't tea? I can't stand the taste of tea. If I don't have any caffeine for even one day I'm irritable and have headaches.

unfunnyryan Posted March 25, 2014 Report Share Posted March 25, 2014 They're not a ton better for you (artificial sweeteners) but you can get crystal light things you mix with water that contain caffeine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's Mio energy that is caffeinated. Personally I avoid it because I don't like adding chemicals to my diet, but if it gets you to drink more water and less pop then I say go for it. Use it like a nicotine patch. Wean yourself off caffeine until you can drink straight water. I also like sparkling water, stuff like Pellegrino or La Croix. It really satisfies me whenever I crave carbonation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geeesammy Posted March 25, 2014 Report Share Posted March 25, 2014 Caffeine gum, coffee, caffeine pills. My roommate doesn't drink pop but chews caffeine him and that guy is more wired than Jones after a Red Bull. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Otis Nice Posted March 25, 2014 Report Share Posted March 25, 2014 that's because you are addicted Bingo. The tat don't lie. I did this a couple years ago. Drank a ton of Mt. Dew. Switched to consuming 1/2 my body weights worth of water (in ounces) and haven't looked back. The first few days will be rough. Headaches and such. It's the addiction. Like anything else, don't look to replace it with other chemicals. That won't solve anything. Just down water and tough it out. That's my advice anyway. If you want a natural caffeine fix there are many out there. Coffee is my fav. Add a little honey and you're good to go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Supplicium Posted March 25, 2014 Report Share Posted March 25, 2014 I pickup Avitae water at Giant Eagle when they are 1$. http://goavitae.com/ 45mg 90mg and 125mg are the different doses. You can ween down by dosage overtime. Also, a local company! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_buster Posted March 25, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 25, 2014 I like the Avitae idea. thanks. I've lost about 25lbs, and fluctuate between 215 and 210. But I still have the gut and man boobs. so I'm cutting back pop. Also I overheat easily in the summer so Im hoping that drinking more water will help that. I've always been that way since t-ball though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JaSSon Posted March 25, 2014 Report Share Posted March 25, 2014 not a fan of the pill aspect but do you have any experience with those? I'd avoid pills. Just using something like Mio Energy or caffeinated Crystal Lites to help you cut back. Those will both help get you into the habit of drinking water. Eventually drop the water "enhancers" all together. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I drink (Kiwi Strawberry) Propel Water by the case (like $7.00 @ Walmart). It's the best Bottled Water you can buy IMO. Add in a single crushed Caffeine pill if you want an extra kick.

Rhett Posted March 25, 2014 Report Share Posted March 25, 2014 If your lifting, try adding a prework out (No Xplode, SuperPump, ect..) they have good amounts of caffine in the serving. I am the same way with headaches. The serving of it before my work out holds me out till the next day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_buster Posted March 25, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 25, 2014 the only lifting I do is the tires at work. no time at the moment for gyms. We are looking into the Y or something for after she graduates and has more time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Duff1647545513 Posted March 25, 2014 Report Share Posted March 25, 2014 Deal with the fucking headaches it'll go away. This. Just drink water, if you decide every now and then you want a change of flavor, use a Mio. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Furloaf Posted March 25, 2014 Report Share Posted March 25, 2014 Just quit the caffeine. You'll only feel like shit for a day or two. Maybe upwards of a week if you were really dependent on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
truckin Posted March 25, 2014 Report Share Posted March 25, 2014 I've recently cut back on POP myself. Coke is the nectar of the gods for me, I use to sit down at dinner and had 3 Cans of Coke gone before they broke a sweat. I've never considered my self addicted to Coke, I just never cared to really drink anything else. Water would never quinch my thirst like a cold can of Coke. It was nothing for me to have 5+ cans a days easy. I've now limited myself to 1 glass of Coke a day, No refills. I've lost some weight but still looking for more. In it's place I'll drink water or have a Fuze 0 calorie fruit drink. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
