Red Bull and Beer Diet: Day 1

[aohtsab]

What's the point of this? Drinking a beer on an empty stomach will compound the alcohol absorption, and mixing a depressant with red bull puts you at serious risk of heart problems.

If it's a new diet fad you're after, you'd be much better off just drinking water for three days.

I agree, check out the post. You will see reasoning contained within.

Slightly off topic but if anyone is serious about improving their health and fitness (weight loss or strength) I can't recommend this guide enough: http://www.liamrosen.com/fitness.html . It's a great guide that provides succinct advice without any of the bullshit that you find everywhere else.

I agree with the sentiment on fad diets however these drinks both contain drugs and put your health at risk from potential caffeine or alcohol poisoning. This experiment will also certainly ruin your sleep.

The simple rule for the consumption of food or drugs is moderation.

Im so pumped to hear you say that. You will like my post mortem on this experiment.

Very much interested in how this turns out. I don't expect to have any grand revelations, or learn how omgbad a Red Bull & beer diet will be, but I'm very curious :)

Have fun! I think my wife would kill me before this diet would, if I attempted to do it.

[d_mcgraw]

Thanks very much. I dont think im going to stumble upon any dietary revelations either. You can live vicariously through me.

I'd be concerned about my liver and kidneys. The author will probably survive this, but without nutrients the additional stressors will cause some damage. Did the author follow his own advice regarding talking to a doctor?

[d_mcgraw]

I have a full bill of health from my doctor. As noted in the disclaimer this is in no way healthy for you, but most fad diets really aren't.

Wasn't Brain the one that was always getting his plans foiled?

Congratulations on survival!! I assume any final analysis will take place on the blog, so I won't request it here (unless you feel like it).

All-artificial diet. Drugs in everything. Brilliant!

[metachris]

That's plain stupid. Why are you doing this?

[d_mcgraw]

I think the article explains that all. I would love for you to read it.

[antidaily]

I wonder whats worse for you of the two.
