Why does Vitamin Water have such a bad reputation?
I recently switched from drinking soda to drinking mainly Water. Often, instead of buying a soda, I will go out of my way to grab a Vitamin Water instead even if the soda is more convenient.
Most of the time, if I have bought a Vitamin Water, I sip that single 20 or 32 ounce bottle throughout the day, alongside with regular water. I never chug it like I used to chug soda. If anything I only chug regular water.
Is it just because of the idiots out there that chug them like there's no tomorrow and then complain when their waistlines bulge even further because they were over drinking the stuff?
When is the last time you compared the number of calories in a 20 ounce bottle of Vitamin Water to the number of calories in the average 20 ounce bottle of Soda? And I doubt Vitamin Water would be able to get away with lying on the Nutrition Facts. The FDA would have them down and out of the game by now if that were the case.
Oh and by the way, a 20 ounce bottle of Vitamin Water contains 125 calories while a 20 ounce bottle of Coke contains 240.
I don't drink diet sodas or other diet drinks. They taste like poison to me and the one person I know that does drink them winds up taking a very water dump in their pants because he can't get to the bathroom in time. When he stopped for a while, he stopped having the problem.
Also, I don't really let the drink linger in my mouth. I often have a bottle of water right next to me when I have the vitamin water and like I said, I really chug my water more than anything so my teeth are pretty much rinsed of that sugar by the time it would have needed to still be on them to have much affect.
I meant to say 'watery dump' in the first addition of details.
Is this a good diet plan? It has nothing to do with weight loss.?
I am a 18 year old male, at 5'7.5 and about 165-170. I came down with mono for a while, got better, and then because of having to finish up my second semester of my senior year so I could graduate, I got sick again. I didn't get enough sleep and didn't eat enough. I was aware of this, so I ate a little more during the past couple months, but not as much as I thought. I was around 190 pounds before I got sick, most of the weight was muscle, but some of it was some extra fat.
1. I plan on eating 3000 calories a day from food alone over 4 or 5 meals.
2. I also plan to take this mega dose vitamin called clearvite once a day or one a day men's pro edge.
3. Drinking at least 85 fluid ounces of liquid a day.
-mostly water
-1 glass of orange juice
-1 glass of milk
-1 32 or 64 ounce bottle of Gatorade
- can include tea and lemonade
4. Go to bed no later than 10 pm.
Sorry I meant 1 20 or 32 ounce Gatorade.
What is up with people and ads on here? Get a freaking life and some sunshine. That never hurt either.
