i have lost track of how many days since i stopped consuming caffeine

6 days? maybe it's a week?

i don't miss it

i'd rack a rail of meth/amphetamine nice and early in the morning without hesitation tho

but never again, no caffeine, the shit has been killing my kidneys and ruining my calcium/magnesium levels

i am even feeling muscles growing better than they were before, there seems to be a general disturbance in my metabolism that has stopped

ironically

sleeping LESS since no caffeine

caffeine just wears you out

just don't #coffeechain

you see, if that brown color was due to you refining elemental iodine i'd be thinking "oh cool" but it's not

what a waste of an earlenmeyer

what are you talking about, I drink refined elemental iodine every morning

haha, very funny

but good for you to be taking lugol's

if that's what you mean

Glad to hear you're experiencing good results 👀

i really can't recommend it enough

i can literally feel that my muscles are finally starting to recover from this, i think that caffeine, at least, over the 1 espresso a day level, kills your kidneys and inhibits your muscle development

Fascinating insight -- I wonder what about the coffee/caffeine is doing that 👀

i don't know, but these are my thoughts:

- caramels are not helping, not the worst kind of sugar but kinda toxic

- tannins are disrupting kidney function in some way, probably mainly because they are so hygroscopic and occlude a lot of water causing it to not be absorbed

- caffeine itself, spends a lot of liver energy being broken down into several derivative xanthines that have the effects, the least toxic is theobromine, but the majority goes to paraxanthine, which probably has a whole bunch of modulatory effects on all kinds of stuff especially related to metabolic systems, the kidney and liver

literally since stopping one of the main things is i am not getting pain in my kidney area anymore
