Please wish me luck!

[Gin please!]

I'm going to give up my beloved 8 cups of coffee a day.

There I said it, now all I have to do is do it.

So off I went this morning and I got myself one of those fruit & Vegatable juicers. The plan is that I'm going to subitute all my coffee's for a fresh juice, well thats the idea anyway.

What got me onto this you ask?

Well last night I was watching a show called "Super Skinny me" where 2 journalists are trying to get down from thier heathly weight down to a size zero in 5 weeks....which I'm not wanting to do by the way althou I wouldn't mind losing about 3-5 kilo's.

Anyway, I don't have anywhere enough veggies in my diet and I know I drink far too much coffee so I thought that I'd give this plan of drinking fresh juice that I have to make instead of a coffee a go. I'm still going to eat my normal meals.. breaky, lunch and dinner too so it's not like I'm going to live on nothing but juice which I think is a good thing.

At the moment I'm at 66.0kg's so lets see what cutting out caffine, sugar and milk will do to my weight.

My first juice drink this morning consists of: 1 Carrot, 2 Apples (small), 1 Orange, 1 chunk of watermelon and wow is it yummy!

Me thinks I'm going to like this plan!

Wow! Good on you Gin! Are you giving up coffee altogether? You'll need to be prepared for some headaches for a while.

Good luck with your juice plan - it sounds like a great idea for cutting out the caffeine and getting some extra fruits and vegies into you.

Good luck Gin i drink lots a coffee to, will the juice upset your tummy?Will you have any coffee at all?

[Melinda]

good on you not sure i could give up on the coffee....i have about 4 cups a day and 2 teas...

[Gin please!]

I had one coffee this morning and I've had none since but I think I will still have one coffee a day in the morning for a while until my body gets used to the idea of giving it up completely.

I'm still planning to eat my normal meals (maybe smaller meals) but I'm not giving up food altogether to just live on juice..no way, I love my food to much to do that.

Is anyone else brave enough to try this with me?

I gave up coffee about a month ago... well... HOT coffee I can't live without my 600ml Iced Coffee everyday Unfortunately I've just swapped coffee for tea, has made a bit of difference though.

I wish you luck Gin but I'm definitely not brave enough to try it with you lol.

Good luck Gin....... I saw the same show and found it very interesting and look forward to next weeks installment !!

Good on you. I had a couple of days without coffee and had headaches and headspins, lethargy ... didn't cope so well. I don't drink 8 a day though - I think you are doing incredibly well to cut down to one just like that! You'll probably feel so much better for it too.

goodluck Gin, I know when I cut down my tea & diet coke drinks the headaches were horendous for a few days but well worth it

[GlossGirl]

Oh my! Good for you! I've tried quitting. But I ended up drinking again after a few days because without coffee, I get headaches..

I wish you luck though!
