Comments on: The Green Tea Experiment: 30 days to a healthier me? http://www.iammikesmith.com/the-green-tea-experiment-30-days-to-a-healthier-me/ My personal space to discuss whatever the fuck I want :) Thu, 10 Jun 2010 13:52:29 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0.1 By: Bruce http://www.iammikesmith.com/the-green-tea-experiment-30-days-to-a-healthier-me/comment-page-1/#comment-71 Bruce Fri, 21 May 2010 06:28:05 +0000 http://www.iammikesmith.com/?p=44#comment-71 Hey Dwyndal, Yeah, I know what you mean. I've had some caffeine withdraws from the lack of Mountain Dew, but overall, I'm starting to feel better. I'm hoping by doing this, as well as the cold shower tests (20-30 seconds at the end of the shower, turn all hot water off and stand under the cold water), I'll start feeling better. Oh, and I'm exercising too. Which is weird since I haven't really done that in a long time. haha Hey Dwyndal,

You do such a fine job. Have you finished the green tea experiment yet? I would like to know if you felt any difference after the 30 days? Mike i Seriously love your blog and all of your articles!

Sorry Roger Charlesworth EFL teacher PS : ALL tea is supposedly good for you due to it's antioxidant level, particularly green tea. Mike

“I drank”

but

“I have drunk”

Your grammar is jarring.

Sorry

It seems a lot of us are trying new things in 2010. I have been on a detox diet for a week now. I was an avid coffee drinker but put it away due to how caffeine affects our metabolism. My substitute was caffeine free green tea for my (I got sleep days) and caffeine free for my i need help...badly mornings. Between the diet and drink change, I can honestly say...I feel great. It took me a while to get used to the caffeine withdrawls but I feel my body in a whole new light. Corny yes but I can't describe it as it's a physical feeling translated to a written word and our experiences may vary. Mike, I'd love to hear about your results, DRINK ON BROTHER!

I think a bit of sugar added in might help out the taste, which at this point is pretty nasty. I never got into coffee, but I do drink Monster energy drinks like they're going out of style, so I know what you mean about the caffeine addiction. I'm hoping this experiment helps me cut down on that - we'll see :) Thanks for the reply @nomadone. I think a bit of sugar added in might help out the taste, which at this point is pretty nasty.

A valuable one to engage in I think. I personally have a coffee problem which I've been trying to address in all kinds of ways. I'm Muslim so every year during Ramadaan I fast for 30 days during daylight hours, and for the last 2 years that included staying away from coffee even at night when we're allowed to eat. Green Tea was one of the substitutes and it works well due to it's caffeine content which I believe is quite high. I can't stand the taste of plain green tea so I opted for a mint flavoured one which I have with at least 2 teaspoons of sugar. Of course it doesn't have the kick of a coffee, but it doesn't bring on the anxiety which coffee does either. I'd say finding the flavour of greentea which suites your tastebuds is important. The plain one if not for everybody. In South Africa we have something called Rooibos Tea, or red bush tea which is a caffeine free and much healthier tea, and the taste is a bit better even without sugar that green tea.
