Dry fasting for coffee drinkers

I just realized that my daily headaches while dry fasting are from caffeine withdrawal! I usually start my day with a cup of coffee, even when water fasting… I didn’t even consider that skipping coffee was what was causing the headache, til now that I’m not fasting but skipped coffee just because I’m laying around. Headache kicked in by noon :-( Any coffee drinkers know how to stop these headaches during a dry fast? Or how many days does it take to get used to not having caffeine?

Best to just suck it up and bear the pain for a couple of days and get rid of this problem permanently handled for good. It usually takes 48 hours to remove the addiction while dry fasting. People have known to be able to permanently quit smoking in 2-3 days of hard dry fasting… if one can quit smoking I’m sure coffee withdrawals aren’t going to be that big of a deal.The withdrawal aches you get are not because that substance is low, but rather because it is being aggressively removed from your system. When all of that is out, pains/aches go away.

Answer

I have coffee on my “dry fast”. I limit myself to a normal sized espresso shot once or twice everyday in order to maintain normal day to day life functions and duties and also to avoid being in Dry fasting “Lazy Mode”, i.e., sleeping and napping all day and not doing anything productive. Only espresso never drip coffee. No sugar. Only additive is a scosch of heavy cream (high in fat).
