moejoe9404 Posted February 16, 2014 Share Posted February 16, 2014 Help. Should I only use artificial caffeine like No Doz? I've never liked coffee. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
melbournegirl Posted February 16, 2014 Share Posted February 16, 2014 Not sure what you are asking here.... If you want some caffeine other than coffee I would suggest tea or raw cocoa with hot water. It's normal to feel more tired in the initial stages of a whole30 as your body adjusts to fat burning and detoxes. The only cures are more sleep, good eating and time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

moejoe9404 Posted February 17, 2014 Author Share Posted February 17, 2014 what i'm saying is i have trouble staying awake to work a midnight shift as it is and i currently use crystal light with caffeine or a diet soda. Since these both are not allowed and i'm not a coffee drinker, what alternatives do i have to get in caffeine just so that i can function and do my job. i just read the article TrayS recommended. Its ok but even with adequate sleep, i'm still very tired. Just a few days ago, I woke up feeling refreshed and had a great time with my kids. On my drive into work, i fell asleep at a few red lights and I hadn't started my 12hr shift. I do not get up to an alarm clock, i have blackout curtains, it's cold and quiet in my room. I know all the tricks to get rest but staying awake has always eluded me. and changing my career choice is not an option so please don't suggest that. so i ask, what is acceptable for caffeine intake? If coffee is the only choice, then maybe this program isn't for me. Thanks in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GFChris Posted February 17, 2014 Share Posted February 17, 2014 No Doz isn't acceptable for a Whole30, as it contains glucose (sugar), per their website. Tea would be another option, but make sure you get a tea with no soy, stevia or other non-compliant ingredients. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
froglegs Posted February 17, 2014 Share Posted February 17, 2014 Tazo Awake tea is a compliant black tea that has 100 mg of caffeine per cup, about as much as a cup of coffee. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
