caffeine

[musician]

Hi-

I've seen a few messages about caffeine on this board. I'm giving it up (at least for now) to see if it helps me quit picking. Have you given up caffeine? Did it help?

Thanks!

[glow=black,2,300]i gave up caffeine when i was on the atkins diet as well as the suzanne somers diet, and i picked my way right through both of those... even when i was on inositol. but i can see that for someone who is actually addicted to caffeine, it would have an effect, i would think it would help. i have never really had caffeine on a daily basis.[/glow]

I firmly believe that, for me at least, this is a mind thing. So caffeine doesn't really do anything or make anything worse. I haven't ever given it up. If I really want to stop, I will, whether I have caffeine or not.

i have been drinking way too much caffine.
I have been trying to quit. I have been picking less. I didn't even pick last night after the shower. I don't think (for me) caffine is an issue.

I have never had a problem with caffeine. I never drink coffee, and I rarely drink coke or soft drink. I only drink water, milk, orange juice, cordial, and tea (which has very little caffeine anyway).

But while you are all cutting back on caffeine, I am cutting back on my sugar intake. No sugar on my breakfast, less sugar in my tea, and when mixing the cordial I am adding more water so it is less concentrated. Go me!

It definitely has an effect on me. But really anything with artifical colour & flavour does too. So I've got a really boring diet now and my skin looks 80% better! Also avoid eat MSG.
