thoughts on sugar free energy drinks

JamieCRodriguez

so I have eliminated all the "fun foods" (AKA~ junk) from my diet. I am a coffee drinker but most days I don't want to waste my calories on a mocha. I have started supplementing my caffeine addiction with sugar free energy drinks. They only have 20 calories and so they have become my new "fun food". I am aware that they are not real good for me but I'm wondering..... HOW BAD are THEY? Thoughts?!?

I stay far away from them if they have guarana in them. It makes my stomach sick and my heartbeat go sky high.

As long as you are not overly sensitive to caffeine and are only having one per day you should technically be fine.
