    Lemon water is a great replacement for coffee, also any kind of fruit.

    Banana water?

    Beat me OP lol. I sleep plenty, and I've been trying to stop coffee for a month... it's just not working out LOL. Even tea just doesn't cut it.

    vitB12

    MCT oil

    I use both.
    B12 only gives you energy if you are deficient.

    Green tea and lemon water, I drink lemon water cold some people drink it hot but I can't stand it. Also just making sure you drink lots of water in general. Eating the right carbs, think fruits and veg, and less of the garbage carbs, breads and pasta. You get a boost from caffeine but you also crash hard from it, which is probably why you've resorted to drinking so much of it. I have a green tea in the am and before bed. I have one tea in the afternoon. Also drinking coffee or caffeinated tea too late at night disrupts your sleep cycle and can make you more tired the next day. It's a vicious cycle, so I'd have your last coffee before 3:00-4:00.

    Bulletproof Broth

    8-16oz homemade bone broth
    1T Kerrygold Unsalted Butter
    1tsp-1T extra virgin coconut oil

    Blend and enjoy.

    The fat in the butter and oil will help curb your appetite and the MCT's in the coconut oil will help promote brain function.

    I must have been deficient then, as I can really feel the difference when I don't take it. It could be placebo ?? Because when I get that lack of energy feeling I pop 2 under my tongue and I get that buzz back.

    Go for a walk! Every time I pick nap over walk, I don't feel much better. When I go for a walk, outside, I always feel better.

    But I also don't see why one would need to cut back on coffee unless it is causing an elevated heart beat and hallucinations (that's my line in the sand, anyways).

    Really? I can't imagine sitting down with a cup of hot lemon water when I first get up in the morning.

    Op what about a tsp or two of protein powder mixed with hot water and a dash of cream and whatever else you like the taste of.

    Try 2 spoons of honey and squeeze half a lemon in hot water..., lovely refreshing drink

    Water! I was the classic caffeine addict. Started my day with a 20oz RedBull everyday for about 15 years. Followed with 2-3 cups of coffee, 2-3 sweet teas, and 2-3 Pepsi's a day. No wonder I ended up at 331 pounds. I dumped it ALL. Now I drink ice water with fresh lemon all day, every day. I have a pretty physically demanding job. On my feet over 50 hours a week at work. The water gets me up and going.

    You could try drinking caffeinated tea instead.

    I Used to drink several cups of coffee a day. I now have maybe a few cups a week and green tea (caffeinated in the morning decaffeinated in the evening) the rest of the time, I have more energy than ever.
