Hey everyone,
This is a question that I’ve had for a while that I would like to get some opinions on.
While I’m aware regular energy drinks would not be useful for weight loss due to their sugar content alone, I was curious if sugar-free energy drinks can be used to help the weight loss process at all.
Reason why I’m asking is that zero sugar energy drinks are low in calories, typically being 10 calories for a can of Monster, and contain large amounts of B vitamins, which I’m aware are essential for metabolism. On top of this, while the amount of it is a concern ofc, caffeine seems to have been shown to boost metabolism in the short term.
Would these facts be enough to justify having a zero sugar energy drink every now and again, or am I misunderstanding and exaggerating things, or missing key details that might change the way I see them?
Thanks in advance.
absolutely not.
sugar intake . high blood sugar - high insulin when insulin is high, fat burning is blocked. but fat storing is ramped up.
so you are smart and drink the sugar free version.
artificial sugar intake, blood sugar stays low, insulin gets high regardless fat burning is blocked, fat storage is ramped up.
so dont drink energy drinks.
what you can do:
drink and eat anything vinegar. eat vinegar cucumbers for example, and drink the water they swam iside in. you can burn the acetatic acid in your cells instaed of sugar.
so you will have a little bit of energy, with out the whole fat blocking spiel.
and the little energy boost helps HUGELY against cravings.
scientific explanation:
look up acetatic acid metabolism.
ever wondered why alcohol gives you energy? thats the reason.
drink water.
milk has almost the same amount of sugar as coke. dont drink almond drinks, dont drink soya drinks, dont drink protein shakes.
they give you a little bit of protein while making you hat. its not worth it.
ever ate pure plant protein without sugar, flavouring, artificial sugar?
you cant, it will make you puke.
