Coffee Quit Me

The unexpected and the unthinkable happened to me. I don’t drink coffee anymore! Coffee used to be my daily gasoline, as well as a true passion of mine on which I was planning on building my future career as an entrepreneur. Besides working in  Coffee Shops while I was living in San Diego, I recently moved from Switzerland to Argentina with the plan to open a third generation coffee shop, here in Buenos Aires.

Who knows, maybe one day I may get back on the coffee track, but for now I feel better without my old addiction. I am amazed how I got myself to quit coffee without even trying.

The three day weekly fasting has been working great for me. As I often mention it throughout this blog, from what I’ve been experiencing so far, the human body does not seem to like the routine too much. In addition, during the days I am eating I have been eating way too much. While fasting three days a week, Wednesdays and Thursdays have been the only consecutive days during which I have been eating two days in a row. Eating a massive amount of food on two consecutive days has been slowing me down a bit on several occasions. Now I want to see what will happen with me introducing Wednesday as an extra dry-fasting day. If it works well for me, I may keep things this way, or pick a different extra day of the week. Adding Saturdays could be interesting, since it will allow me to dry-fast three consecutive days during the week.Continue reading
