The combination of natural sugar, pectin, and fiber seem to aid alertness and keep cravings at bay throughout the day.

I generally drink about one or two coffee a day. If I'm not at home, I go to a café that sells Swiss Water decaf, which is the same water process used in Whole Foods decaf. Removing caffeine from my diet has also helped in a way I hadn't anticipated. I have fewer stomach issues - no sprints to the loo, no 'unsociable' side effects and no caffeine hangovers. The half-caff thing mentioned by Cathy works as well. It's a nice middle ground if I want something with caffeine.

So, I buy one bag of Whole Foods Sumatra decaf and one bag Sumatra with caffeine. I get a great tasting coffee and can adjust the amount of caffeine that works for me.

I used to drink soooo much of it. Its funny but I think now I have been experiencing more anxiety than before but Im still proud of my self because now I drink very very little, and eventually I will quit ( I think :) jeje ) I am making baby steps like you said I have been drinking less and less every time, and about the energy, well I've always had lots of energy so it hasnt affect me that much, Just for the fact that I rally used to enjoy my coffee, I would crave it and stuff, and it was more for the flavor than the caffeine. But I can say that now I dont need it, only becasue I dont want to quit just like that I still drink a little bit in the mornings. It is not hard if you are serious about it and want to be healthy! :) Hi, I love this post, I have been trying to cut back on coffee. I used to drink soooo much of it.

I am trying to cut back on my morning coffee fix and recently discovered an instant coffee substitute called Dandy Blend. It's made from barley, rye, dandelion root, chicory, and beet root - completely free of caffeine. I brew my coffee half strength, then add a tablespoon of Dandy Blend and milk. Delicious! Dandy is great on its own, too. By making the blend I get just enough caffeine to get me going in the AM, without the palpitations! Thanks for the great tips!
