I'm not too much of a coffee snob, so i don't mind instant.
I tried Nescafe decaf but didn't think it had a great taste.
Now i drink Moccona Classic decaf. It has a blue label. It doesn't taste the same as Moccona Classic normal, but i still think it tastes OK.
Probably not very helpful (ir maybe it is ), but my FS, GP & chinese herbalist all say that de-caf coffee is no better than normal coffee... apparently the de-caf tea is better than normal tea, but with coffee, its just the same???!!!!!
I just got to a point where I would have a full strength coffee only if I went out (to meet a girlfriend at a cafe etc), but apart from that, just didn't drink it at all otherwise.
This meant I was having a coffee approx once a week, which apparently is harmless.
When I am on cycle, I just don't have any.
The other substitute my NP suggested was the mixer coffees (Like the Jarrah coffees - Swiss, Brazil, etc).
Apparently they have minimal amounts of caffeine, as they are mainly the powder of the mixer, eg cocoa, vanilla, etc which she said is fine.
If you drink them without milk or sugar, they are also fat free - 0 points on weight watchers, so its an added bonus!!!
I started drinking the swiss one of these - I only allow myself one a day.
It did take a while (headaches, etc) to get used to no coffee, but if we want these babies bad enough, its amazing where we find the strength to stop what we need to!!!!
How wierd Holly. You think you are being good - and then get another kick in the pants!
Oh well, i only have one decaf coffee a day - and I am sooooo painfully good about everything else - i think i'll just keep drinking it!! Naughty me!
