Anybody Else Addicted to Energy Drinks or Soda?
Never drank soda as a kid. Now, I cannot be productive without either drinking coffee, red bull or some soda beverage that is caffeinated. I'm not fat at all (despite the profile picture), but I'm getting concerned that if I keep this up, I will be 5-10 years from now.
Anybody else in a similar boat? Thoughts?
If you keep this up, you will be 5-10yrs from now? Energy drinks aren’t time machines. 😂😂😂
I cant tell if your baiting me but he said Im not fat dispite the pf pic but if he keeps it up in 5-10 years he will be fat.
part 1 -Im not fat pt 2 if I keep drinking im scared COMMMAAA I will be (FAT)
ohhh ok it all makes sense now
Cut the soda out, and the energy drinks as well if they have sugar in them; the sugar free ones aren't great but are better than the sugary ones. Soda is liquid sugar and excess sugar is going to absolutely kill you over time.
I am the furthest thing from a health guru but the older I've gotten the more I've noticed that sugar is in damn near everything we eat (if you're in America) and it's a drug that almost the entire country is addicted to at some level. If you don't believe me, do a hard 72 hour total detox from sugar, and you'll notice that 1.) almost no foods you want to buy in preparation are actually sugar free, and 2.) your body will be in hell during those 72 hours, especially that second day. But once it's over, you'll notice that you're not craving sugar anymore (after only three days) and that things like candy bars and soda do not taste the same, they do not taste so good anymore. I did this about four years ago and it really woke me up. I felt like I'd been a drug addict for years without knowing so.
Coffee is fine, but take it black or with a big of milk or cream (although those still have sugar).
As an alternative, consider caffeine pills. They're cheap, simple, easy, won't stain your clothes or teeth. I sometime keep half of a caffeine pill (100 mg, about one cup of coffee) on my nightstand and start my day with a glass of water and a "caffeine nap" while still in bed.
But that sugar will absolutely kill you, especially once you're over 25 and your metabolism slows down. Sugar increases the risk not just for weight gain and diabetes, but for cancer and other issues as well.
Yeah I recommend espresso and dark chocolate almond milk, or even green tea or black tea if you have to drink something at your desk all the time.

When I was an analyst I used to drink at least a gallon of Diet Coke per day
Were your teeth ok - did you get cavities?
all good. no issues with teeth
Go sugar free, but please try to stop. I drank a bang energy drink every day my freshman and sophomore year (had two a day during recruiting), made no changes to dental health and ended up with 4 cavities and has painful fillings which took an hour and cost my parents like $700 after insurance. Got my offer and haven’t drunk one since but it kind of ruined my energy levels and I feel like shit
This pic absolutely kills me. The fact that it’s highlighted as most helpful just makes me laugh even harder
I would advise drinking pre-workout. Its got as much or more caffeine than the energy drinks but it doesn't have sugar or carbonation
This... might actually be sound advice!?
Yeah I like Nitraflex - 325mg caffeine
Yep, Diet Coke for me. So bad that I don't keep it in my household. I have to walk to the 7-11 to get one.
7/11 is a great place to pick up middle aged Indian men too
It, it is...
No I don't drink coffee or energy drinks. Makes my heart palpitate weirdly and gave me bad sleep. Id rather be tired and get good sleep than be on the edge all the time and have heart palpitations.
Discovered these in college. Kroger energy pack mixes. 160-200mg of caffeine (depending on flavor, strawberry is my favorite), no sugar, low calorie, mixes with water so you can also get those liters in, and tastes great. These have been game changing for me.

Cut out soda and energy drinks, that shit's bad. I used to drink an insane amount of coffee throughout the day, fucked with my sleep etc. Now, I limit myself to only two caffeinated cups a day, and I can't have any caffeinated past lunch. After either my two caffeinated cups or my lunch deadline, I'll just slam decaf all day because I like having something hot to sip on at my desk.
I used to drink a lot of energy drinks before, but not anymore.
