That was my new years goal too. I've had coffee maybe 6-10 times this year. HUGE improvement mind you. I now drink green or red tea pretty much every day. No more crashes and FAR healthier. Fruit juices are great too. Coffee is evil I swear! Giving us false energy and then horrible crashes. If we take care of ourselves, eat healthy, drink healthy drinks, there never are crashes.

im glad to hear that jen. im "trying" to give it up cause my gut instinct tells me its not helping me generally health wise and I too have suffered from the nervous jitters within an hour of 2 with coffee so looking forward to some health benefits.
the clincher being in 50% of people caffeine interferes with estrogen metabolism and also gaba production. less gaba less growth hormones to us in our 30s. So for NBE yeh it seems a good choice.
that said be interesting if that has also played a part in your great success jen
now the big thing... GIVING UP THE WINE!!!!
