Why am I suggesting that you quit coffee?
If you know me personally, you know that I adore coffee. I used to imbibe a cup (or two) of coffee each morning with cream and sugar. Then I lived in Italy for three years and consumed copious amounts of cappuccino, espresso, and macchiato. When we returned to the States, I tried my first Whole 30 . . . which worked great because it allowed you to have coffee, though it was without a sweetener. So I gave up my honey and haven’t looked back, okay . . . well I do miss it, but now I don’t like it in my coffee.
As you can see, I have been an avid coffee drinker.
Or more honestly, a coffee addict . . .
I’m a lightweight. While some people have to drink three of four cups a day to suffer withdrawal symptoms, I can drink one tazzo of espresso and have the same withdrawal. Or just one cup of french press. I feel what the coffee does to my system and I feel when its gone.
I’m starting with my history because it is important that you know I’m not some stupid tea drinker telling you to give up your coffee. I am a coffee addict/lover who has realized that I can’t keep pretending it isn’t an addiction that is challenging my health.
