My New Liquid Diet

           For some strange reason I decided this year to come up with a resolution for new year's. This normally is not something I do, I often think that people use the new year as a crutch, "this year things will be better". They often prevent themselves from making real changes by putting it off.

          That being said.

          I have been a long term caffiene abuser for about 13 years now. Yes, since I was 12. I have drank an average of 5-10 cups of coffee a day. Combine that with a high school dabbling in caffiene pills and I was on a bad path.  I have also been drinking profusely since before the age of 19. 

 So I decided that for the first month of the year I would be consuming water as my only liquid drink, no pop, no coffee, no juice, no milk, no booze. As you can imagine my headaches for the few weeks this month were pretty brutal.

Why am I writing this post you might ask. Well since doing this I have been seeing some pretty good and suprsing results. I am on day 26 so far and I am thinking of extending this far longer than a month. So far I have lost 10 lbs, and I have'nt changed my diet or excersize, I am no longer getting withdrawal headaches from missing my sweet coffee, I am sleeping better at night, I have more energy during the day, I have not had crashing energy levels like I did before.

 I am considering adding some healthy beverages in the upcoming months, I have tried an outstanding herbal coffee replacement called teeccino, It has tons of health benefits and is a nice replacement if you think you will miss the taste of coffee.


 The best part? I find that my brain has been working better, I often used to struggle with long term planning, and I have been racking my brain to come up with business ideas for the last few years, this has not been an issue at all lately. I have never felt better about the firection my life is going. 

*Warning! I was an extreme jerk for the first 2 weeks of this
