Vitamin Water

[Uthinkso]

I picked up a bottle of this stuff as I was leaving the gym yesterday. Tasty enough but man sugar frenzy!!!

13g of sugar per serving with 2.5 servings per bottle. Yikes!!!

 

[ABCs]

Yeah, drop it. There are much better options out there.

Oh god yes. I drank it but never again its off the list. Not to mention I got gouged for $2.50 WTF

This was more of a warning thread to others than anything else.

It's the crap like that they market to the masses as healthy then people wonder why they cannot lose weight. It makes me sad especially for someone who's really trying to be more healthful!

*says the former fat girl*

 

[Uthinkso]

Yeah the real tricky thing they do is to make a 20oz bottle have 2.5 servings in it so the nutrition facts have lower numbers. Thats what got my attention, I saw 50 calories and looked further to see that was per servings.

Tricky marketers!!

I think it is good for carb replacement after/during training.

they dont taste bad but they are a bit pricey

Yeah the gym charges $2.50 and then I was talking to a guy at work and he was telling me our loal grocery store sells them 10 for $10.

Everything at the gym is a rip off. Once I bought a thing of muscle milk for like 4 dollars. It was fucking ridiculous.

Yeah, it's like a bar.

 

[SheLifts]

i'm getting a case of the propel fitness water tonight.

vitamin enriched and low calorie.

i've been using some of that powder that you pour inot your water. mine has 25 calories per serving with some vitamins too and i only use it when i hit the gym.

 

[fufu]

Yeah, it's like a bar.

I've never thought of it that way...but that's exactly it.

 

[Doublebase]

I've had two bottles of this stuff last week. 32.5 grams of sugar per bottle. Stuff does taste good though.

 

[vortrit]

I had a bottle of it... last year.

 

[layla17]

Are there any alternatives that taste decent and still provide a good source of vitamins?

 

[Uthinkso]

I just drink water, green tea, and Powerade Option when I'm working in the backyard.

water and a multi vit

 

[Lukas1878]

I usually drink milk...like Arnold does

 

[Smoo_lord]

Sometimes I just squeeze fresh lime, or lemon juice into a bottle of filtered tap water. It adds a nice variation occasionally. But mainly after Intense cardio I get the gatorade/powerade powder and make it up 1/2 strength and then drink that.

but other than that, the only liquids that pass my lips are water, skim milk and maybe a diet coke 1-2 times a week
