Diet Energy Drinks?

[XRockXStarX]

Im on a cutting diet right now, is it ok to drink siet energy drinks. I think its ok because it has no calories and the caffiene might help... But curious to see what everyone has to say

Your in a calorie deficiet now, so avoid compounds that cause your adrenals to secrete cortisol IMHO. Caffiene = Cortisol increase.

If you have to, use it. The increase in cortisol wont effect your body a great deal pre-WO. Keep it in moderation. Dont be drinking 4-5 cups of coffee throughout the day.

i drink 2 cups pre wo which is 8:30am and 2 cups after dinner which is 6pm---i guess thats no good -- how can this be hurting me? catabolism? slowing fatloss? slowing muscle growth? or all the above

caffiene increase blood flow and helps dialate your viens right? so can that be a good thing for muscle growth even though you are raising you metabolism? idk i just bought a crap load of suger free rockstars on sale... 14 for 5 bucks and i only drink them on sunday but was curious if it was alright any time through my week

What reason do you do it for? cause it tastes good :P or cause it helps with burning fat?

Honestly, just because it tastes good. I diet so hard throughout the day it is like the only thing that keeps me sane. But I'm not happy taking in so much artificial sweetner, if I ever stop drinking LC Monster it will be for that reason
