Coffee makes me feel amazing...until it doesn't. After the short lived happy warm moments, I crash hard from even a very small cup of coffee, with milk and sugar, with a meal. I used to be able to tolerate coffee with meals or with lots of sugar and milk, but even a small amount isn't worth the downside for me now. I get really bad low blood sugar symptoms, spacey, depressed, restless, and it will last for hours. My diet hasn't changed much, still pretty peaty although way less dairy and oj, since ultimately those weren't working for me and more starch, with pretty high protein most days, and the other usual things.
I really want to find a way to get my coffee, because it makes me feel so good. I've been drinking red bull a bit, and it doesn't seem to give me the crash. If I drink too much I get jittery, but I still feel mentally great and never the horrible crash that I have with coffee. I'm wondering what it is in the red bull that is allowing me to tolerate the caffeine better.
I'd rather not get too hooked on red bull, since it's expensive and some of the ingredients seem questionable, so I'm wondering what I can do to be able to tolerate either coffee or some caffeine concoction. I've been taking estroban for fat solubles, and some extra liquid k2 since I've heard that can help. Any other ideas for how I can increase coffee tolerance? Has anyone tried making their own energy drink similar to red bull. I'm imagining some kind of isotonic solution with caffeine, sugar, and vitamins.
