1) you need fruit and veg to stay healthy and to get all of your required nutrients.

2) this is in some way linked to question 1. i would start. start with something small such as walking for as long as you can, then increase the time and the speed. do some light free weights and just try to be more active. The fact that you can only sprint for 5 seconds doesn’t realy matter much, unless you are a olympic sprinter, then...you have some trouble.

3) caffine receptors i your cells can become ajusted to substances such as caffine and other stimulants. over time this effect wil reduce and eventualy stop altogether. thus is the case with me. I can have a Triple esspresso and fall asleep quite easly, where as someone else would hae the same drink and jitter around for hours like one of tose wind up toys.
caffine also raises yur metabolism, which can when combined with exercise, help you lose weight.

I sincerely hope you are not serious, considering that sailors of various ages have gone years without fruits and vegetables. Assuming you are not, caffeine is as much of a drug as smoking. It constricts blood vessels and increases blood pressure and tendencies for mood swings.

Yes, golden raptor is right, Caffine is a drug.
The doctor told me several years ago that i had to go cold turkey, cause the caffine was going to kill me as it had built up in my system to such a high level . you see, Caffine was my drug of choice.
I would eat Instant coffee by the tablespoon, straight out of the jar. Every coffe was at least triple strength, and if it was instant coffee, it would be a case of 3 tablespoons per cup MINIMUM. I also discovered the joys of eating chocolate covered coffee beans.

Now this wasn’t a case of 4 cups a day, this was a case of replacing water with coffee almost all day. anyhow, acording to the local gp, who did a blood test, i was going to die sometime very soon if i didn’t go cold turkey and detox.

Now i assume that everyone has heard of Withdrawal symptoms...well i had them BAD.

Constant 24 hour migranes, hot and cold flushes, mood swings, sleep deprevation.....I HAD THE WORKS.

Anyhow, this lasted for about 3 weeks. IT WAS HELL.

now i enjoy the occasional cuppa but dont o overboard.

The MORAL OF THIS TALE IS....DONT GET HOOKED. Coffee is easier and cheaper than cigarettes, Alcohol and it is LEGAL.

Beware, Addiction can happen folks. EVEN WITH COFFEE!


......Oh and eat your fruit and veggies, cause they’re good for you!
