How to QUIT Energy Drinks (First 30 Days)

I've been drinking energy for a few years and I always knew in the back of my mind it was something I had to stop. An energy drink here and there won't kill you. I challenged myself to quit energy drinks and document the first 30 days so I can share my experience. The results speak for themselves. Like I said in the video, I had more energy than ever. I really recommend it to anyone, even a coffee drinker. Caffeine is a tool not a crutch. Thank you for watching. Like, Comment, Subscribe for more content.

on day 1 of quitting redbull. i've felt very tired and foggy headed. kinda depressed too. i hate myself for ever drinking that poison. screw these companies

[@deemurray5711]

Day 5 , it’s tough. Headaches are massive

[@ExpensiveVitamins]

You’ll get through it ♥️

[@MineCrafterCity]

I have a Red Bull diet... It's the first thing I take in morning together with my noodles. Probably take like 8 or more per day. I recently (50+ days) quit smoking and this was next on my list. So I'm going to quit Red Bull now, and Pepsi later (That's a whole different story haha)

[@fluxcap4630]

8 Red Bulls and you Still fit in some Pepsi!? Donate your body to science my man

[@blackwinterproductions2185]

I'm at 2-3 a day. Thanks for the motivation, I'm stopping today.

This was 11 months ago, how is it going now?

[@ExpensiveVitamins]

I had a bit of a relapse around October, i started drinking them for a month straight then stopped. It was easier to stop when i already stopped one time. Now whenever I crave a kick i just resort to black coffee. I don't drink it everyday which makes it feel stronger.

[@ruth711moon]

quit for a month then got right back on it after ONE month back to this video to encourage myself again

[@chandlerbonvillian1696]

The craziest part about this whole video you can literally tell he’s leveling up every week off. Congrats man this is a huge accomplishment and I’m about to begin my journey. I work at GNC so I’m SURROUNDED BY caffeine but gonna make it through.

You got it brother

[@alis_thenics]

The withdrawals are crippling. I am so sick how are you not??

[@treymorley5941]

Been drinking energy drinks (Various brands and MG doses) for as long as i can remember, for 3 years straight i have consumed 200-300mg of caffeine daily and recently i have experienced chest pain, it was minor at first but now its every other day it seems.. i'm a relatively healthy 28 year old man so the other thing i can point a finger at are these energy drinks, has anyone else experienced Heart/Chest pain due to drinking these drinks daily? Also great video man, Starting tomorrow I am going to attempt to quit cold turkey 🤞

[@selfmadedee8226]

I been trying to quit for a while now, so hard. Congratulations man! I just had one question lol how long did the withdrawals last?

[@ExpensiveVitamins]

They lasted for 2ish weeks for me. I still get some cravings but it's a lot easier.

[@raulpavel3d]

I drink up to 4 monsters every day 😭😭

[@hellohelena8876]

I do 3-4 large redbulls 😭 definitely feel that taking its toll. $15/a day also adds up to a whole lot of waste

[@TNTproductionInc-pb6no]

@@hellohelena8876you should try to cut it to 1 every 2 days and wean off, it will only get worse otherwise

I have one every 2 days or so and I’m trying to wean off

[@MOAB]

I was 61 years old and was drinking 1 monster drink (Grape 140mg caffeine) a day for 2 years. The odd day 2. I was also drinking AXIO powder packs you mix in a water bottle every day as well (100 mg caffeine). Than one day 6 months ago I ordered a decaf coffee (30 mg caffeine) at Tim Hortons on top of the other drinks, it was about 3pm. My heart went into arrythmia or A-Fib I beleive it's called for 7 hours straight. My heart felt like butterfly's in there. Probably beating up wards of a 180 BPM. I was debating to go to the Hospital and probably should have. I drank lots of water and tried to flush it out of my system. I haven't touched an energy drink, coffee, AXIO or any caffeine since. Cold turkey. I am 63 now.

[@tylerlopez1526]

Quitting caffeine is one of the hardest things to do. Once I went through it, I look at energy drinks at the store like “why did I ever drink those?!”

[@niteblaster1]

Energy drinks messed me up Gave me irregular heartbeat That was in 2017 I'm still wrecked now My oesophagus is leaking acids giving me acid reflux It is weakened by caffeine When I was a delivery driver eating proper food and drinking water It kept me awake for 14 hour shifts Caffeine does not give you energy That is impossible It blocks the signal to tell you you are tired , if you are already tired then it's useless Which is quite dangerous if you are exhausted and you don't know

[@trevonanthony50]

I drink 6 red bulls a day I tried to quit but it lead to depression sn been 10yrs now

[@TNTproductionInc-pb6no]

Slowly cut down bro, 6 a day is crazy, your body needs a break from it, if you can have one less every day, every week wean off step by step

[@Paulzm1]

I had a terrible addiction to energy drinks like a Crack addicted, I was hooked for 5 years, I nearly died the first time of a hart Attack at work, I was working at a retail store when my friend told me what's wrong you don't look good, I said I had too much Rockstar energy drink, he was the manager and told me to go to the bread section and eat any type of bread 🍞 I did not think about paying it in the moment because I just wanted to live, I eat the bread in the bread section but there was no one around, after 3 minutes of eating the bread my hart rate whent back to normal, then I came back to my senses and pay for the bread

I'm Clean and sober off any type of Energy drinks, Water is all I drink now

[@stockpilethomas7900]

I have quite in the past for lik 5 months. I just do it to give it a rest to get the buzz back. Thinking want to give it up for good. It's hard when you get up at 3 30am for work and to workout after work sometimes. For the last 14 years . The first 3 or 4 days are usually hard to get through. Plus been doing pre workout for past 16 years . If I don't stop I probably will have heart attack some day.

How was your appitite throughout stopping? I'm 3 days without them and I haven't been hungry at all it sucks

I’ve been trying to quit and I get the worst migraine if I don’t have a monster in the morning. I’m just so disappointed with myself

[@guillermoratou]

Don't feel bad about yourself, if you feel bad you will want to feel good, and what do we do when we wanna feel good again? we slack off back into old habits. Be proud that you are trying and if it helps, start doing new things with your life like sports, a new hobby or a job. If you believe that no matter what you are gonna win, you will win. Stay hard!

I have one Rockstar in the fridge, I haven't opened it yet, but I sure want to. But I'm on my healthy girl shit. I'm having black coffee with unsweetened almond milk and collagen, and a bottle of water. But, maybe I should have one last energy drink before I fully commit? I mean...I paid for it xD

[@ExpensiveVitamins]

I suggest one of two things. Record yourself drinking it and telling yourself it's the last one. Or throw it out and get a head start.

Been drinking them as long as they've been around, plus pre-workouts. They keep getting stronger and the addiction just gets worse. I've been wanting to quit for a long time, but it is the hardest drug to give up! It's especially tough working a physical job. I am determined to do this, been binge watching quitting caffeine vids the past couple days. My sleep has suffered for probably the last 12 years. I'm almost 42 and not getting any younger. Time to treat my body better.

[@craighenson3158]

Bro. I needed this video. Trying to stop is so hard. I love cracking open a can of redbull, that first sip it’s like sex. I Drink at least 2 a day, Work in hot environment. I ended up fainting when I got home.(my ears started to muffle, it was terrifying )Now I don’t know why it happened but that day I worked 12 hrs and had 3 Red Bulls. I think that was a sign for me to stop. I did for a couple of weeks but the craving routine for my redbull at work and seeing other people drink them got to me. And here I am on KZbin looking for motivation. Thank you. I’m going to start again tomorrow. I’m going to buy carbonated water because I swear it’s the carbon feeling that I want or the texture.

I’m 15, evening having one or two every day sense 13 1/2. My heart beats so bad after doing hardly nothing, like walking up stairs makes it go to 150 (I have a watch that tells me) they make non alcoholic beer and stuff. Why can’t they make non caffeinated energy drinks so k can still get the flavor. For me it’s the flavor and light carbonation that no other drink has. I want to stop but everytime I say I will I end up drinking one 15 minutes later, like bro I’m on my way to the store right now as I’m writing this to get more.

[@SudoMudo]

Hey man, you gotta allow the discomfort. You are trying to break a habit. You will feel like shit and perhaps lose your mind, but keep going. Soon it will suck less and less. Try and substitute with soda in the beginning, then try carbonated water and finally just regular water. Go at your own pace, but remember, starting is the hardest part and the part that sucks the most. Hope it helps.
