Say No to Energy Drinks!!!

[LawMan018]

Okay, well let me first of all say I used to drink them occasionally, like late at night when staying up or going out to TJ. Well about two months ago I started drinking Red Bulls and others before my workouts and occasionally some more throughout the day without even really realizing it. I started getting really lazy throughout the day and my workouts were getting terrible. I was feeling down a lot of the time and my god I thought I was going into some kind of weird depression. Well about a week ago I stopped drinking them just cause I haven't been around them and my god I feel so much better. I actually have energy throughout the day and my workouts are insane again and my mood is boosted way up. I just wanted to share this with you guys because I didn't think these drinks could mess you up that bad I thought there was something really wrong with me, when it just was these damn drinks.

yeah ive never been a fan of them. im not caffiene sensitive so i dont notice any real benefits, not to mention they deydrate you before a workout.

the only use i have for them is if im up early for work at 3 am and need some kind of kickstart to get me rolling, but even then i hardly ever drink them

[xlxBigSexyxlx]

yep, they are shit

So what do you figure was causing this?....the caffeine or one of the many other ingredients.

I looked at the back of a Redbull can to see whats actually in it the second medical ingredient is Glucuronolactone 600mg. I googled it to see what it was and this is what I found: It has received some notoriety due to urban legends that it was a Vietnam War-era drug manufactured by the American government. The rumor goes on to say that it was banned due to several brain tumor-related deaths. That has since proved to be false...nevertheless still unsettling.

I have one red bull before i go to the gym to spike my insulin level.

and occasionally some more throughout the day without even really realizing it.

If you were drinking them without realizing it, how do you know you've stopped?

Dude with pics you got the best

[HELP ME]

drink the no sugar type they better and dont crash as much

[Z-Ro]

Same thing happened to me, rather it was coffee. I quit and it had the exact same effect on me...more energy, better mood, etc...I forget the whole mechanics behind it so I will not even comment on it.

[thetank]

probably had somethign to do with the insulin spike..some people are more sensitive to dramatic changes in thier blood sugar then others. i dont mind energy drinks, i sure as **** dont drink redbull tho, that shit is nasty. nothing carbonated..i stick to gatorade/powerade, altho i rarely drink them anyway.

[PEWN]

i agree with tank .... i only drink gatorade when i need a quick cal boost or a little pick me up before a work out. I dont like all these energy drinks ... i see these guys drinking them all the time at the gym ... i would throw up...... althought i love me some redlines......
