In 2017 I drank a lot, 3 cups, max four. I don't know if it helped or not, I just liked it.

I also started intermittent fasting, so I didn't want to drink milky teas - green teas and the like are terrible.

However, along with eliminating sugar I also started to drink one coffee a day. I still end up drinking two most of the time. Now I drink coffee because water is ... boring.

I want to eliminate it not because is bad for you - I have done extensive research and found mixed reactions, but because I heard that if you get used to not drinking coffee, the energy you get after coffee is simply because you are used to it.

In other words, if you never drank coffee, you would not need coffee to feel more energised. Hence, my goal will be to give up coffee if and when I find a good enough substitute - something that has no sugar, artificial or otherwise and has no extra calories of any kind.

WARNING: my "extensive research" was google, and most likely it told me what I wanted to read
