Food and Drink Help me break my energy drink addiction - Page 8

KCrockaholic · 08-09-2014, 01:33 PM

Since I was 11 or 12 years old, on average, I've drank about 2 per day.

I slowed down considerably right around 20 years old, and since then have been on about 1 or 2 per day.

If I see them in a grocery store, I have to buy one. If I go inside to Quik Trip, there's no chance I can walk out empty handed. I don't even feel a true burst of energy off them, and haven't felt that in many years. I drink them and at most I'll be at a normal level of energy, but without one I'll feel heavy eye'd throughout the day.

I'm still in decent/good shape, but I'm tired of feeling tired. I feel like once I finally break away from these things I'll once again have my natural energy back and maybe once I do indulge in a caffeinated beverage I'll actually feel energy from it. At this point I can still drink one or two and fall asleep 5 minutes later no problem.

It's a real addiction, and I need to do something about it. Don't know how to alter my mind into thinking I don't need energy drinks anymore, but I gotta stop.

I have a few that still have some DMAA in them and I have some various shot like 5 hour that I take as well. I really don't think the 5 hours are all that bad for you. Primarily they are just caffeine with some vitamins and niacin.

Off topic. But I need a new pre to use once I'm done with C4.

I should to eliminate the day time fatigue, but it's not a huge deal. Like I said it's mainly just caffeine which doesn't have much effect these days, BP is fine and pulse stays reasonable. Not much different than those day long coffee drinkers.

Everyone responds to those different. I don't carry it, but White Flood is a favorite of mine... probably even more so than the DMAA stuff people love.

White Flood is pretty good. I had a sample before. Maybe that's what I should look for. Been on C4 for 1.5 years now. Getting old.

I used to use Super Pump when I first started out... great energy but I had the most horrible smelling fart and shits. ' I mean it was so bad, but it really didn't even smell like shit. It was like rotten eggs. They changed the formula a few times since then. I think it was high is sulfur or something that was causing the shitty problems.

I predict your next post will be something somewhat racist (or just racist).

Step 1 - don't buy them anymore.

Step 2 - there is no step 2.

A guy at my work mixes a black lable 5 hour with a big can of monster every morning, then does it again at lunch. Says it's the only way he can stay awake all day.

KCrockaholic · 08-09-2014, 05:01 PM
