Do Energy Drinks Work Or Do They Add to Our Abdominal Fat...?

One of the most frequent questions I hear at the gym is this... are energy drinks the bomb? Do they REALLY give you lots of energy or is it just a bunch of bs? And this is a good question due to the enormous popularity of energy drinks.

And that popularity was created by the brain trust of the smartest folks on the planet... the marketers for the supplement manufacturers. I don't admire them... I just know them...

And these guys will make all sorts of outrageous claims about their particular brand of energy drinks. About why the best energy drinks are theirs...of course...

So... the real questions is this... do they work? Do they help you lose weight? Are there bad effects of energy drinks?

You see, these are the questions you SHOULD be asking!

Here is the truth of the matter... most if not all energy drinks have high frutose corn syrup (HFCS), caffeine, and some vitamin B thrown in for good luck.

Energy drinks are a guarantee recipe that will make you FAT and make your abdominal fat too!

For starters... HFCS is far worst than refined sugar. It will go straight to your growing midsection and some of us are wondering why they work so hard and yet, they can never get a flatter stomach.

This is WHY!

But some energy drinks will have artificial sweetener instead. That is just worst... man-made chemicals that have no business in your body.

Not only is artificial sweeteners harmful to your body... it also has a psychological effect of giving the drinker the false impression that since they were "good," they can eat more food without guilt.

Wrong!

And the next ingredient would be caffeine... it is an absolute myth that caffeine gives you energy. That is impossible! You see, energy can ONLY come from the calories within your body which you get from consuming carbs, proteins and good fats.

What caffeine DOES however... is stimulate the central nervous system and gives you that "pep" as you drink the caffeinated beverage. The drawback of being a caffeine drinker is you will eventually have to drink more and more to get the pop.

So what about those vitamin Bs? Big hairy deal! You can get those way cheaper from a good multivitamin.

The Conclusion About Energy Drinks...

The usual suspects of HFCS, artificial sweeteners, caffeine and expensive source of B vitamins... energy drinks are just a soup of chemicals that does NOTHING for you if you are serious about losing body fat and gaining muscles. Energy drinks put your health to risk. And your wallet will get lighter. And you will have expensive pee.

I don't know about you... but I don't see any positives in energy drinks... do you?

But I won't leave you hanging... you can make your own energy drink! That is true! Here is the recipe... brew some organic Oolong tea... mix it with some berries and whey protein powder (without the artificial sweeteners and colors... of course) and blend everything together!
