Do you drink coffee? And have you tried a day without?
I love coffee, but it fucks me up if I drink it before my first intake of food.
Though I keep doing it. And then some nicotine to seal the deal.
Good luck.
I drink lots of tea. When I make myself a tea I never make 1 cup but 2 cups at once because 1 cup in not satisfactory at all lol. I try to drink bottled water as much as I can but my brain simply prefers tea much more.
I heartily recommend an unreasonably large mug. Get one big enough and it takes ages to go cold.
Yes, I know, my aunt has big mugs but I've been procrastinating on ordering them for months.
Ah, yes. The Tea. I drink a lot of tea when I try to cut my coffee intake. It's quite sour and can be hard on an empty stomage. Even more so than coffee. I recommend an accid reducing supplement. When I tea-binge, I drink sodium bicarbonate dilluted in water. Because I've vomited multiple times after my morning gallon of tea.
Given the sub, ADHD meds are the more likely reason - though coffee will definitely do it to a lesser extent.
Makes sense. I take 30 mg methylphenidate depots which I find quite mild in regards to appetite repression. Though I guess some may be on more severe medications or/and at higher doeses.
Back when I was on 5mg Ritalin (this was a long time ago now) I lost probably a third of my body weight, and could frequently live for days off a pack of chips or similar. Meds and mileage varies though.
