For me I was a heavy user for many many years and then I suddenly developed a sensitivity overnight. Many people also become more sensitive when they switch to eating raw.<br /><br />Congratulations on your discipline and success!Mizpah Matushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10857392492172698335noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3441135031265934455.post-74925865778258585342011-10-20T14:47:20.373-07:002011-10-20T14:47:20.373-07:00@Thandi - I, too, was raised with a fear of caffei...@Thandi - I, too, was raised with a fear of caffeine in my SDA home. I didn't start until a couple of years ago after moving to Cali. So sad.<br /><br />@Naturaleza - Thanks for the encouragment!<br /><br />@F&F - Yeah, the caffeine is excellent for a workout boost. Definitely looking forward to sharing Blendtec recipes :)<br /><br />@Leslie - Good for you! I'm planning a detox soon so I know the habit will be kicked soon! I'll send you my address - thanks!Kareenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13638064077477206933noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3441135031265934455.post-69528679933024365362011-10-20T12:27:02.840-07:002011-10-20T12:27:02.840-07:00I gave up coffee about two months ago for a cleans...I gave up coffee about two months ago for a cleanse. It was so awful around day 3, and I've had a few cravings, but here I am feeling great 2 months later. I drink green smoothies and tea, and plan to keep it that way! <br /><br />Also-Just wanted to let you know you get one of the Sambazon smoothie coupon packs on my blog. Please let me know your address. Thanks! :)Leslie Richmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01247847929212871770noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3441135031265934455.post-73017943932163525862011-10-20T11:35:21.456-07:002011-10-20T11:35:21.456-07:00Love my coffee, but I love sleep MORE.

So, keep both caf and decaf and usually mix if I have to do the caf kind. <br /><br />My preferred time to use the hard stuff is right b4 a workout. I need the extra beta-oxidation, thanks. <br /><br />Have got back on the regular green tea program which has some, but much less caffeine. Trying to get back to the habits that had me feeling sooooo good that first couple years after surgery. <br /><br />I'm excited to discuss our blendtec recipes soon......FitandFabuloushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14499548088391589507noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3441135031265934455.post-39724201752568354872011-10-19T08:46:46.018-07:002011-10-19T08:46:46.018-07:00Yes.

Especially when I studied in the U.K. ut, I slowly worked off of it. The smell alone would make me happy. But, with patience and time it dissipated. Now, I can pass coffee shops and the urge isn't there to partake. Don't even like Coke.<br />You two can do it!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06913322728284448723noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3441135031265934455.post-26434011451419814742011-10-19T01:58:54.212-07:002011-10-19T01:58:54.212-07:00LOL.All the best!No, I'm not a caffeine lover....LOL.All the best!No, I'm not a caffeine lover.Being SDA,it was drummed into us from 'birth' that coffee is taboo.Strangely enough,it was only when I was in my late teens that I realised that Coke had caffeine too..so that left my diet.Then again I wasn't really into fizzy drinks anyway so I didn't have to deal with whtdrawal.Take care and your post just made me laugh!Thanks!Titus 2 Thandihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04682041725252115845noreply@blogger.com
