Day 5 without Caffeine 

Had flu like muscle soreness for most of the week. Was worried I might be getting the coof, but it seems like your muscles feeling like fire and death is a common symptom of caffeine withdrawal.

At least the headaches are gone, or I assume they're gone. Maybe I just can't notice. Walking around seems to help. I should go to the beach.

Day 5 without Caffeine 

@alyx Usually two full mugs of cofe, one monster zero energy drink, and then 2 ~ 4 bottles of diet soda .. per work day.

@meowski @alyx less cringe than diebetus

re: Day 5 without Caffeine 

@djsumdog @alyx i think aspartame actually increases it though. doesn't even make you lose weight and screws up your metabolism

re: Day 5 without Caffeine 

@meowski @alyx It's probably not good for you, but the same amount of sugar or corn syrup is substantially worse. I'd like to get off of both really.

re: Day 5 without Caffeine 

@djsumdog @alyx yea do get off both. i'm absolutely not convinced that aspartame is any better for you than corn syrup though. there are animal studies showing that it makes you fatter than plain sugar. corn syrup carries some other risks aside from regular table sugar though as well. idk just stop drinking soda altogether, that's the only real solution

IIRC aspartame messes with your gut bacteria to such a degree that it's still possible to give you diabetes. Don't remember the quantities needed to obtain the effect though.

re: Day 5 without Caffeine 

@alyx @meowski Yea I'm sure aspartame isn't good for you, especially in the quantities I was taken them down. I've had a caffeine free soda now and then, but I'm trying to just stick to tap water, or that bubbly carbonated water (which is flavored but unsweetened .. which is kinda nice).

@djsumdog @alyx @meowski and splenda is mutagenic

re: Day 5 without Caffeine 

@djsumdog @alyx @meowski Take a look at Mountain Valley spring water. High pH and full of minerals. Tastes great, and no man-made additives like fluoride or chlorine. https://www.mountainvalleyspring.com/pages/our-water

@djsumdog
Jesus... how big were the bottles of soda? How do you manage to drink that much liquid in the first place?!

Day 5 without Caffeine 

@alyx Just regular 16 oz (.45 liter) bottles. I peed a lot!

So that'd make about 2-3 litters of drinks that contain some amount of caffeine.... Look on the bright side, at least you were definitely getting the CDC recommended amount of fluids each day.
