Energy Drinks and weight loss...

I am at 185 lbs, trying to get back to 155 lbs.  I know what I need to do, have done it before.

I have one question about energy drinks.  I have heard and read they increase metabolism.  Is this really true?  I am trying to figure if the added "bloat" from the carbonation is worth it if it helps with metabolism.  I do not lift for a workout, only cardio. 

Are energy drinks good while on a diet?

Thanks!

Jesus,,,what are you 5'4?

5'10".  I usually have a runners build.

Short answer no.

I would love to hear the long answer......Probably be "not really"

 

Energy drinks speed up your metabolic rate (the amount of energy expended in a given time) through stimulants such as caffeine. The downfall is that there also loaded with simple sugars and additives

I'd suggest sticking to coffee or buying Caffeine pills

yeah them sumbitches are like liquid cocaine.  If you have 3 or more a week you will be pretty lit up and full of energy.
