So, this week I decided to start eating better. I've gained quite a few pounds over the last few months and picked my vacation (stay-cation) to change things up. Included in that change was the commitment to drink only water for the next few weeks to help with the weight loss. That means no coffee, no energy drinks, and no sodas.
I am on day 3 and realize now how bad caffeine withdrawal can be. Headaches, nausea, lethargy, and join pain. I checked my temperature and I have no fever and I only started feeling like this since I went to water only. All my symptoms line up with caffeine withdrawal. I didn't think it'd be that big of a deal since I didn't think I drank that much caffeine every day. Problem is, I DO drink that much and I'm just now accepting it. One cup of coffee in the morning, tea or soda with my lunch, energy drink in the afternoon, and tea for dinner. Just about everything I drank had caffeine in it! lol
It's suppose to only last a few days so we'll see if it makes a difference. I don't feel the urge to drink caffeinated beverages right now, so that's good. But, I feel like ass right now. Guess it's good I'm on vacation. Anyone else try to stay away from caffeine and experience these symptoms?
