Re: Coffee?
I used to drink waaaay too much caffeine on a daily basis. not good. massive migraines that would be unbearable for a day if I suddenly went cold turkey for whatever reason. took me awhile and some research to figure out what triggered such headaches. so I taught myself that if/whenever my body gets accustomed to more than 2 cu caffeine a day, that I have to cut back half-cup at a time to avoid the headaches. I love coffee, so the way I taught myself to cut back was to find a decaf version of the caffeine variety/roast I had been enjoying, and start substituting 1/2 cup a day decaf for caf until I got back down to no more than 2 cu caf a day. I mostly do that with the dark roasts I also enjoy, mainly Peets has a couple varieties that also have a decaf version.
I like specific variety light roasts previously mentioned, so I tend to switch back and forth periodically when the mood shifts. Peets Uzuri is a light roast that comes closest to the Kenya AA I find so hard to find otherwise, and is regularly in my local store. It's caffeine, doesn't have a decaf variant, so I make sure I don't get too tanked up on it, that way I can still enjoy it and not worry about headaches.
