A few questions:
Did you work your way up to 1200mg/day? How much sugar? Did you make any changes to your diet during this time? Did you use any other supplements? B1, K2, magnesium, aspirin, thyroid, etc? After the two weeks, do you stop caffeine completely or settle at a baseline? Did you lose or gain any weight during this time?
I worked my way up over a few days, about 600 the first day, then 1000, then 1200. I noticed a blood sugar crash the first day at 1200 and ate a bunch of white rice til I felt better.
Sugar doesn’t seem to be a great fuel source for me. I like potatoes, white rice, occasional sourdough, and dextrose. I eat fruit, but it’s not my predominant carb.
Only dietary changes were adding more white rice at meals, (everything else stayed the same)
I’m always experimenting with various Peat substances, but so few of them seem to have any effect on me. During the most recent 2 week run I wasn’t doing anything else at all.
The first time I stopped caffeine completely, the second time I tried staying on at a lower level, (but eventually the lower level for longer term seemed to cause acid reflux, so I stopped).
The first time I lost 20lbs and I thought it was from the caffeine, (it happened in the months follow the experiment) but I recently did the two weeks again and experienced zero weight loss. Its possible that b vitamin supplementation at the time of the first experiment was actually responsible for the weight loss.
