Here’s a reply I have received from one of our readers after my post about coffee:

I quit drinking coffee almost 2 years ago, so I definitely wouldn’t recommend people start up the habit.

I guess what I was saying was that in comparison to many other things, I’d rather see someone drinking black organic coffee than say a milkshake or diet soda.

Definitely the idea here is to one by one refine and clean up your diet, but often if you do that too quickly, you are unable to deal with it physically or emotionally.

Being that coffee is so addictive, and in my experience not an issue with candida, it wouldn’t be one of the first things I’d cut out of someone’s diet who was on the opposite end of the spectrum from where they needed to be.

I spent 2 months weaning off of coffee and changing nothing else about my diet but that. It’s been my experience that the only way in some cases to make something a habit is to change it slowly and give yourself time to focus on that and nothing else, until it is second nature.

Sometimes cold turkey works for people. I’ve had some things I’ve quit cold turkey with no problem. Most things were more ingrained in my life, and slow changes have been the most effective.

On the other hand I have seen people do cold turkey, fall off the wagon, lather, rinse, repeat. That was me. I was in good company too. I’m done with that cycle now I believe.
