Hey everyone,
This is a question that I’ve had for a while that I would like to get some opinions on.
While I’m aware regular energy drinks would not be useful for weight loss due to their sugar content alone, I was curious if sugar-free energy drinks can be used to help the weight loss process at all.
Reason why I’m asking is that zero sugar energy drinks are low in calories, typically being 10 calories for a can of Monster, and contain large amounts of B vitamins, which I’m aware are essential for metabolism. On top of this, while the amount of it is a concern ofc, caffeine seems to have been shown to boost metabolism in the short term.
Would these facts be enough to justify having a zero sugar energy drink every now and again, or am I misunderstanding and exaggerating things, or missing key details that might change the way I see them?
Thanks in advance.
If you’re already consuming a lot of sugary drinks then switching to diet would probably help you lose some weight. The energy aspect might make you a little less hungry during the day, but all that caffeine isn’t really doing you any favors beyond that.
