Great drink for cutting

[Razorguns]

Minute Maid Light - Lemon-ade or Cherry Lemon-ade

soft drinks in a can, tastes great and only *5* calories per can.

I drink 10 cans a day, and it's only a whopping 50 calories. 10 coke cans a day, by comparison, would be *1400* calories.

no need to drink water, cokes, diet drinks or other stuff. I buy that shit by the truckloads now at costco.

you can buy it at your local supermarket. i hate drinking water, and now there's a much tastier alternative.

[blueta2]

nothing is as good as water. All the chemicals in these drinks is not healthy (IMO)

 

[Razorguns]

i don't see anything wrong with those 'chemicals'. it's 5 calories, and it's pretty much 95% water anyways.

 

[nimbus]

thought this was gonna be a thread about winny

 

[jerkbox]

this is almost as good as your "bring protein powder to work" idea



all that artificial crap would turn my stomach

LMAO... no doubt. RG turning out some gems of advice lately.


That 'ade' stuff ain't bad... but bros around here have been guzzling crystal light for years.. this isn't exactly anything new... it's just canned.

I am good with water 90% of the time. I have a huge 32oz cup of it with most meals...

Diet Coke... every once in a while... Orange Sunrise Crystal Light with Vanilla Protien... good schtuff...

In Asian countries, Stevia is what's used in all diet drinks.
The FDA will not allow Stevia in North America b/c Monsanto will go broke if Stevia were to take over the diet drink market.
I would rather drink sugar and get fat than drink made made chemicals

Agreed! Isn't Monsanto a seed company though? And YAY to stevia.

 

[blueta2]

yes it's accessible in North America, but can only be sold as a health food suppliment and not as a sweetner.

 

[youngguns]

yes it's accecable in North America, but can only be sold as a health food suppliment and not as a sweetner.

Ya they don't make it very easy to get, it's a plants root I believe?

 

[blueta2]

you can buy it in most groceries stores or health food stores and yes it's a plant. It's easy to get, just expensive.

 

[chewyxrage]

My girl uses those to mix w/ vodka, pretty damn good.

 

[youngguns]

Stevia, Monsanto, two words that should be said more often.

Cause of the juice or just naturally...

All types of sweeteners are used in Asia including aspartame & sucralose, the independent results of both are already in. Aspartame has been linked with an assortment of health problems and sucralose originated from scientists trying to develop a new pesticide. Have noticed stevia in US food/supplement products usually combined with fructose or hfcs.

The point is, none of these canned carbonated drinks (regardless of what they claim on the packing) are of any benefit to human health. Not only are they nutritionally free but the vast majority contain synthetic chemicals cooked up in laboratories that have absolutely nothing to do with the human body and its needs.

 

[Razorguns]

ya know, if u hit the internet EVERYTHING is bad for you and will kill you, using that theory.

including steroids

 

[javaguru]

Stevia has been found to be a weak mutagen in multiple studies. Many of those aspartame studies were funded by the sugar industry feeding rats dosages many times what a human would be capable of consuming, distilled water will kill you if consumed in a large enough quantity. Years ago, the head of the FDA claimed table sugar wouldn't be approved by the FDA as a food additive if it went through the approval process today.

http://www.aspartame.org/aspartame_myths.html

Aspartame is the methyl ester of the dipeptide of the natural amino acids L-aspartic acid and L-phenylalanine. Under strongly acidic or alkaline conditions, aspartame first generates methanol by hydrolysis. Under more severe conditions, the peptide bonds are also hydrolyzed, resulting in the free amino acids. It is a nonpolar molecule.[1]

Upon ingestion, aspartame breaks down into several residual chemicals, including aspartic acid, phenylalanine, methanol, and further breakdown products including formaldehyde[2] and formic acid. There is some controversy surrounding the rate of breakdown into these various products and the effects that they have on those that consume aspartame-sweetened foods.

The naturally-occurring essential amino acid phenylalanine is a health hazard to those born with phenylketonuria (PKU), a rare inherited disease that prevents the essential amino acid phenylalanine from being properly converted into Tyrosine and eventually being metabolized. Since individuals with PKU must consider aspartame as an additional source of phenylalanine, aspartame-containing foods sold in the United States must state "Phenylketonurics: Contains Phenylalanine" on their product labels.

What I find ironic is that many people who refuse to drink a diet coke because of aspartame have no problem throwing back twelve alcoholic drinks in an evening.

ok, it took me a few minutes to figure out what you meant about it not being available, but yes, being available. lol
i don't care for stevia's taste, but if the flavor was masked in food, that would be awesome.
I'll have some splenda, but i'd rather get used to no sweetener or just a small amount of sugar.
its why i rarely drink soda, even diet.

I find the less sugar I eat the less I want, not so much with fat though.
Soda, pop

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!

 

[Razorguns]

and so begins the aspartame vs sugar age-old debate.

if faced with either - i'd pick aspartame. less calories. you can have the sugars and get fat.

I can mask it in some food for you.

word.

i think the point RG is getting at is that when cutting, there are some options for damage control. a "lesser of two evils" kind of thing.

100% agree......they are poison!

Sugar is an addiction like anything else. When you stop it, your body will stop craving it.

Stevia does have a bitter taste, but yes when it's mask, you cannot tell the diff between Stevia and sugar.

I don't think this is about a sugar/aspartame debate. I think it's about health. I would rather get fat than find out in 10 years all the high rate of cancer we are seeing, and ADD and all the other illness no dr's can account for were caused my chemicals in food.
Think about it (not sure how old you are) but I am 40 and when I was a kid, there was no ADD, or high incidences of leukemia's, non Hodgkin's, childhood diabetes etc when I was growing up....
Ask any practitioners, they will tell you that they believe all the chemicals we consume are the cause for all these illness's.
If they can ban pesticides b/c it will harm us, then why allow chemicals in our foods.
Read the ingedients of a Little Debbie's wrapper, google the ingredients, most of them were manufactured in a lab..yuck!
Eat clean, eat real, work out and you won't get fat. Is cutting more important than being healthy? In my eyes, no. As you get older, you realize it's more important to feel good than to look good.

 

[jerkbox]

There still isn't a such thing as ADD....just bad parenting, and pharma company marketing

I agree in only that to feed your kid crap is very bad parenting!

 

[jackangel]

well gosh, i stick to zero-calorie diet snapple. but that's got aspartame. i have 1-2 bottles a day, but not for extended periods of time.

dammit. i'm concerned about cancer of the fist.

 

[javaguru]

http://www.aspartame.org/aspartame_facts.html

"Aspartame (L-alpha-aspartyl-L-phenylalanine methyl ester) is a low-calorie sweetener used to sweeten a wide variety of low- and reduced-calorie foods and beverages, including low-calorie tabletop sweeteners. Aspartame is composed of two amino acids, aspartic acid and phenylalanine, as the methyl ester. Amino acids are the building blocks of protein. Aspartic acid and phenylalanine are also found naturally in protein containing foods, including meats, grains and dairy products. Methyl esters are also found naturally in many foods such as fruits and vegetable and their juices. Upon digestion, aspartame breaks down into three components (aspartic acid, phenylalanine and methanol), which are then absorbed into the blood and used in normal body processes. Neither aspartame nor its components accumulates in the body. These components are used in the body in the same ways as when they are derived from common foods.

Further, the amounts of these components from aspartame are small compared to the amounts from other food sources. For example, a serving of no-fat milk provides about 6 times more phenylalanine and 13 times more aspartic acid compared to an equivalent amount of diet beverage sweetened 100% with aspartame. Likewise, a serving of tomato juice provides about 6 times more methanol compared to an equivalent amount of diet beverage with aspartame. "(emphasis mine)

I've been drinking that Propel knockoff in tubs like crystal light that Wal-Mart sells. It's called Fulfill and comes in Strawberry-Kiwi or Berry flavor.

sweeteners used in these new 0 calorie diet sodas are thought to cause cancer. I believe they are what triggers my cluster headaches and they dry my eyes out completely. I was on that kick for a while until I heard the horror stories sometimes when things sound too good to be true, they are! Sucks I know. Too much of any good thing is always a bad thing. That has always been known.

 

[theoak01]

we are all going to die anyways i doubt the little bit of aspartame a regular person drinks in a day is going to be enough to hurt you,I have a pack of crystal light everyday that makes 1.5L breaks up the water taste which bores me. and considering i take dbol and an assortment of other steroids im betting that crystal light is the healthiest of them all.

we are all dying anyways if your in this fitness thing to prolong life then dont touch aspartame,some of us are just vain pricks who want too look good while we are here and nothing else matters

 

[Razorguns]

if ur worried about dying, stay at home, drink water, eat salads, and read books. a very exciting life!
