Btw, in the EU, decaf coffee must be decaffed by at least 99.9% compared to the US standard of 97%.

Dr Berg recently changed my keto coffee to 50/50 coffee and roasted chicory root. The big change for me is my blood surgars. Plain black coffee can send my FBS up 10 to 20 points. This new combo for me is pulling it down. Apparently Chicory is being studied for it's effects of reducing inulin resistance. Just wanted to share.

I'm caffeine free, thanks to this video. Feel great!

Roasted Dandelion Root tea (I buy the Traditional Medicinals brand; organic, non-GMO) is a FANTASTIC beverage. It tastes really good and is caffeine free, so it can be consumed anytime of the day. Dandelion Root has some evidence of aiding liver function and digestion, too, so if that's of interest to you, then I highly recommend you try it (I recommend it to everyone, regardless)!

Caffeine free. Ditched coffee this weekend. Try organic dandelion root its incredible. Its just like coffee ☕️ 😋 am amazed and converted on first cup.

I just love the efficiency of these videos, short altho all info you need is there and straight to the point. I've bought Caro Original from Nestle right before I started Keto cause drinking coffee everyday made me burping constantly thruout the day and sometimes even acid reflux. But reading what it was made of I almost threw it away (Barley, barley malt, chicory, rye.) as I thought these are all grains so I can't have it! I didn't even check the nutrients scale. Thanx Dr. Berg, now I can substitute it for coffee👍

I 1st tried Teeccino back in 2000 or 2001 and really liked it. I’m a fan.

This is really helpful!!!!!! For any Germans here: The ROMA coffee is made from the same ingredients as our CARO Kaffee.

I drink pure chicory. My Digestion is so much better. I don't miss the palpitations from coffee/caffeine.

I have dropped many of my eating habits the past year (soda, junk food, cakes, red meats, here and there I won't have as much dairy) but it's extremely hard for me to not have coffee. That is one thing I'm finding the most difficult because I also have it with organic sugar. Will this be a problem when it comes to my adrenal gland and the basics of dieting? I've lost weight everywhere but I'm trying to target lower belly fat. Thank you for your video! You've helped me a bunch.

I crave the coffee creamer flavor the most.

The Teccino stimulates my appetite

Such a helpful vid :) stopped drinking caffeine recently and been looking for info of caffeine free alternatives :)

Wow! I would definitely love to find Techino. Have not seen that brand here in Ontario, Canada. I will search for it. Always good to have a good coffee substitute on hand. I have cut down to 2 cups per day and my goal is to stop altogether.

I have been drinking Caribou Decaf (via the Swiss water process) for several years and I have no problem with it.

This was a super vid. Teccino :)

There is Atomo coffee which supposedly is identical to taste as real coffee. They make an espresso which you can use in espresso machines and it even makes the crema. Unfortunately it is available in the U.S. for now. Some of the Ingredients: Date Seeds Ramon Seeds Lemon Pea Protein Fenugreek Guava Millet Caffeine (from green tea) Fructose Sunflower Seed

Been looking for a coffee substitute forever. Thank you!

Teeccino it is ... Italians give Coffee of Barley to kids :)

I have afib and had to give up caffeine. I have tried numerous substitutes. The best I have found so far is Pero. Nothing tastes the same or as good as coffee, but Pero is very close.

Hi, love the channel. I was wondering how dangerous regular decaf is because of solvents being used in the process of removing the caffeine

Is Swiss water processed decaf okay for someone with auto-immune disease? I appreciated the video of obvious things to avoid with auto-immune issues we are trying to keep in remission. I do wonder about organic decaf though. 🤔

Dr. Berg what’s your advice for the consumption of chicory root

Thanks for the information Doctor!

This enthusiastic coffee user thinks Teccino does not taste like coffee, and I got the multi-pack to taste each one. Unfortunate fail. But I might try the other solutions given here to rule them out.

We need a video for vegans/vegetarians on what vitamins/minerals - foods that they need because they are missing etc.

Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us!!!!

Ever heard of pyroluria? It's a genetic quirk that causes some people to get stressed and deplete all their B6 & Zinc. I think coffee makes mine worse... but I'm also addicted to it. I've also wondered about the mineral blocking effects of coffee possibly adding to muscle cramps and pinched nerves?

ive never heard of teccino or roma

Good morning!

I drink cocoa powder with water and little bit of milk, no sugar.

Tq doc...i love teeccino

Just buy plain organic roasted Chicory and run through filter. It doesn't contain the gluten grains. It has Inulin.

Swiss water is going to be great.

Teecino has cocoa which contains theobromine (a cousin of caffeine with similar affects).....

since I stopped drinking coffee now I sleep everyday in my office at work. I need something that works like coffee, but wont leave stains in my teeth. I tried mint, lemon and green tea drinks.. it have no effect at all.

I really enjoy Cafix. It's similar to Roma but tastes the closest to coffee than it and other substitutes like Pero, and Teaccino.

If there's no caffeine.....then....what even is the point then?

I just needed to check as I was about to buy some caffeinated coffee after being mostly on decaf for the past 6 months + ie best to go decaf…

Can I drink Teccino and Roma, if Im diagnosed with Hashimoto disease and Hypothyroidism? Or what teas do you recommend?

I am currently waiting for my dandy blend which is chicory root and dandelion root coffee substitute

I suggest tea.

Crio Bru. Roasted Cocoa

thanks Doc!

Dr. Berg, can u explain why caffeine can cause weight gain and does it effect cholesterol? :))

Problem here in Germany is you never know how the coffein was taken out of coffee beans. It just says "entkoffeiniert". 😐

Isn't it better to drink pure chicory without sugar and add stevia to it? That's what I do - it turns out a great drink, I'll add 30% cream there. For me it tastes better than coffee.

i know how harmful coffee is but the problem is there's no substitute out there that gives you that full depth of flavor that only coffee gives, so now i've resorted to buy'n the cheap stuff to give my chocolate drink some depth.

pppppeace , in the meantime in the between time.. see you guys next time

Yerba mate is healthy caffine without crashing effects. Dr Berg could you do a video about yerba mate tea please? It has many health benifits and packed with vitamins and minerals, it is popular south amaerican tea

Timothy you got that right!! and if it's decaf I do without it..

Since I drinking coffee twice a day My weight didn't go down. I blame coffee. From today I cut it. Only morning time 2 oz. I will see what will happen.

I have a loos stool / diarrhea problem i drink 128 ounces of medium coffee with cream and 25 to 30 table spoons of table sugar 3 English muffins with butter at lunch and fresh burger beef with frozen peppers and onions maybe three times a week for supper maybe one night of fried eggs and Chinese food Friday Still no idea what the problem is Sugar or coffee or both O plus extra intense urges to pee

Avoid caffeine? What you talkin' bout Willis?

Try nofun Jo decaff coffee. The reviews are great. I'm going to give it a try.

Dr. Berg, Don't forget the teas: green, black, fermented (pu'er, which has the benefit of inducing mental clarity and calm), yerba mate. Perhaps better still is maca root, which is a stimulant, but also has the benefit of increasing testosterone. All of these would be better described as alternatives to coffee. They are substitutes only in the sense that they are stimulants and can be taken hot.

I use them and they taste great

Could we drink any of those of we have UTI ? Thank you ida

Thank you ❤

💕 you Doc!!!

Caffeine is my crutch. I don't even like the taste of black coffee. I used to put 12 pkts of regular sugar to mask the taste, then I started adding local honey to it. Did wonders for my allergies and the taste wasn't so bad once acquired. Then, I discovered Dr Berg and found out firsthand that it messes with my ketosis. So I now disguise the taste with sugar substitutes, heavy cream, ground Cinnamon, ground cloves, and/or coconut oil. I tried to give up this dreadful drug once, but I felt as if there was an ax lodged in my head splitting it open every few minutes.. and once that headache starts there is no remedy for me. I will lay in bed nauseated and not able to see light nor smell anything strong. Invariably, I will throw up and feel as if my head is exploding in the process. The word 'useless' describes me in full when I'm going through that. I really do want to give it up, but it's like this terrible beast holds me by the neck and says, "You thought you could get rid of me? I don't think so!" 😩 I can't see this coffee substitute helping me. My addiction to that 1 and only cup of coffee in the mornings is simply too powerful.

Guarana is amazing substitute, longer mental energy / no drop.

wonderful as usual .. but could we also drink chaga mushroom as a substitute.. thank you Dr. Berg

i think he means Teeccino

Dr. Berg… what are your thoughts on BioCoffee?

Dr. Berg...love you, there are other drinks..,but there isn't a substitute for coffee. And, I say that in a light-hearted way. Happy Monday Doc.

Anything gluten free?

What is Techino please? Is that the brand? 😊

Most roast coffee beans are stale by the time they reach the shop shelves.

Could you do a video about sole water?

Hello Dr. Berg i found that Guarana is the best subtitute to cofee

Hello, Dr Berg… hope you or your team see this!.. today is 2/27/23…,I looked for both coffee substitute, but ROMA (less carbs) is like a powder…is that correct?… thank you!

Roasted dandelion root!

do these raise glucose?

Amazon sells it.

I like dandelion root.

Does chicory stop fasting/autophagy?

If you're looking for a healthy alternative that's caffeine free, tastes like coffee, and is rich with vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants, you should consider trying date coffee :)

Teeccino has the most different blends and flavors

Dr. Berg, kindly tell that does instant coffee hinder weight loss? I mean does it break our fast in intermittent fasting and is it healthy for regular consumption ?

If you're working on weight loss in a ketogenic diet, I'm guessing you'd probably want to avoid Teccino or Roma because of the carbs?

Doesn't barley and rye have gluten?

When you take Advil does it affect the fasting period?

Does coffee speed up or slow down fat loss? Like 2 espressos?

What about organic matcha green tea powder?

Will Rasa or Cafix work as an alternative? And will it break your fast?

What about Choffy?

I leave my coffee out. If it goes stale is there an adverse effect to health?

What about Inka?

what about Chicory?

There is no substitute for coffee, plain and simple.

The problem is that there is a solvent to decaffeinate the coffee, isnt it harmful?

Hello Dr. Berg, can I drink apple cider vinegar drink during my workout? Will be there any good or bad effects?

When I drink coffee i feel tired and toxic at night :(. Makes you super active for 2 to 3 hours though. Then it starts to decline.

Will teccino or chai tea brake a fast and can it be make like a bulletproof coffee

cikoria only is that ok ?

What about pero??

Dr. Berg, Why avoid coffee completely? I believe its good for you in small amounts. You said in a video just drink mornings. My mom lived to 92 with 3/4 cups a day.

Roma what brand?

Thanks Des. I don't have a problem with weight gain. The opposite. ☺
