No Sugar Energy Supplements? Verdict?

By Mz_Elle

· 612 views

Has anyone used 5-hour energy or any of those no sugar energy supplements / drinks? Are we even allowed to use them? Those who may have used them, post-op, what are your thoughts/recommendations?

 

What about those pre-workout drinks that are usually orange flavored. Do you find them helpful?

 

I'm still focused on getting my protein and staying hydrated but I'm dying from the lack of energy even while meeting my bench marks and exercising daily.

 

(OK. I will cop to the fact that I did not work out today and tomorrow is my official rest day).

    I haven't! Crystal lite makes a energy flavor packet. We can have that, or propel for energy. We need to drink lots of water, but the great thing is there's alot out there with stuff in it like that, that's still ok for us to drink. Look into crystal lite and plus consult with your doctor. I hope this was helpful, good luck!

    I do A LOT of Crystal Light, but I was told to stay away from the "energy" ones because the "energy" is just caffeine. My NUT says to stay away from caffeine, sugar, alcohol and carbonated drinks. Caffeine mainly because they dehydrate you.
