Red Bull while dieting

[bigtavi8]

Hey guys im a natty dieting for my first show in 8 weeks. I find lately ive been ridiculously tired and out of energy. To counter this i have been drinking the SUGAR free red bull and it works amazing to get my energy back. IF i drink one of these things maybe like 3 or 4 times a week am i making a big mistake. What is wrong with this? Could i keep drinking these becuase i need it to make it through the day...

[Praetorian]

No problem at all...I usually had one a day.

only 1? you'llbe fine, I have had times where I barely eat carbs and those are the only reason I have any energy at all sometimes 3-4 a day but I dont sugest doing that plus its way too expensive!

[metis boy]

Your good to go bud...

[hyperlite32]

why not use a OTC fat burner?

[bigtavi8]

woo (sigh of relief) good shit boys and about over the counter fat burner i dont no if i can handle it cuz im already 7% at 8 weeks out you guys think i still should...say like Nutrex Lipo 6X or Animal Cuts...

[natenator]

dude just keeep it on the right track. No need for a fat burner if you're not already taking one. You got 8 weeks and that's plenty of time to bring your legs in. Everything else seems in already!

Red bull has a mere 80 mg of caffeine with some low dosage b-vitamins. The other key ingredient is glucoronolactone at 600mg per can and from what I read the effectiveness begins at 1200mg daily. So forget that crap, for $3 a can it is such a rip off it`s beyond logic why people would buy this on a daily basis. Say you drink 2 a day that`s $180 per month, absolutely rediculous. Oh let`s not forget the 1000mg of taurine, which has zero stimulant properties. Am I anti red bull? Uh, yes.

If I were you, I`d be taking a fat burner. In my opinion anything without ephedrine is not worth it. However if you look up species nutrition apparantly lipolyze is good shit, just be prepared to dish out the bucks, but since you`re competing, I`d say it`s worth it. Congrats on getting to %7 without any type of fat burner.

7% is an awsome accomplishment!!!

I would use the next 8 weeks to dial in your conditioning. I would use a fat burner, I dont think it will hurt. As long as you keep all your muscle. I have bee reading alot reviews on gasapri "mitotropin" or any ECA stack. You could give it as try. Or atleast (if you like the red-bull idea) go buy a bottle of caffiene 5-7 bucks, and save yourself a crap load of money !!$ spend it on protein.

You should try Sugar free Jolt Cola.. Mountain Dew flavor,plus there is way more caffeine.:D

Yeah, like most are saying I agree on not using Red Bull as a source for getting through the day. I used to use fat burners not only to "burn fat" (quoted because that's what it's supposed to do but I hardly find it to happen) but more for the daily energy boosts and the minor suppression to appetite. If you're looking for a source of energy, and don't like the idea of fat burners, what about just coffee?

Also on the level of "how much a week" like you ask regarding 3-4 Red Bulls being over the top, not at all. Almost all fat burners are marketed to be around 200mg, and are to be taken 2x a day, if not 3. General caffeine guidelines tend to be less than 1000mg daily, and less than 400mg per dosage. I can honestly say I've been around both of those maxes once or twice and noticed nothing short or long term from it, just a fun night :D

If you're not against caffeine, the source shouldn't matter, just however you prefer. Personally, I always keep a CHEAP "fat burner" for a once a day or every other day, and straight up 200mg caffeine pills for certain occasions. You can find those from like $5-$10 for 50-200 - dirt cheap! Also, I assume some seasoned vets in lifting use stuff like caffeine while nearing competition (maybe closer than 8 weeks though) because they are diuretics and help get rid of water. However, I'm sure they use something more reliable and potent than caffeine... Hope something in this helps you out.

why not use NO xplode or something like that? zero sugar in it as well

[Felinecougar]

Your question was about Red Bull...funny thing tonight kerri and I said to you in a joking way that, "Smokeing , Red Bull and lots of sex" was a great diet to be on. Nothing else..just that.

Guess you took it like we said it. LOL.

Tav...your already hyper. YOur asking for energy..not a fast fat loss supp. Why not try strong cups of home made coffee instead. Cheaper.

[bigpapapump2016]

+1 for coffee

[C-money]

+2 for the coffee, i find nothing better pre workout than a super strong black coffee with a packet or 2 of splenda.... cheap too when compared to red bulls

[bigtavi8]

I 100% hate coffee thats the only problem. Cant force myself to drink it. So im gonna just get a cheap bottle of caffeine pills to help me instead. Also i got a fat burner/ energy supp i have used in the past lipo 6x and just using it for the energy and appetite.

[RightNearDaBeach]

Yeah, like I said I prefer having both since fat burners do have "other stuff" and hopefully achieve some level of cutting (still won't pay out the butt for them though). Good choices if you can't stand coffee like you said.

Good to hear, i love red bull !

[Ritch]

Good to hear you say? Where is the positive feedback in this thread? I still don`t get it with this product. I swear if I were to give you in a drink what is in red bull and not tell you what is in there and have you drink it, you would not rave about it like you do with red bull. Unless 80 mg which is 4/5 of a caffeine tablet gets you stimulated. The other shit, low doses of b-vitamins, 1000mg of taurine which anyone who knows stimulants knows this in not a stimulant. The only other possibility is glucolactone (spelling?) stuff which there is 600mg of it in a can. I did some research on it and found the effects start at 1200mg a day.

To all of you who rave about this crap, I politely say: Welcome to placeboville, popullation you guys.
