Hi, I'm Mudgey & i'm addicted to energy drinks..

[Gayno]

Currently working on a diet plan as we speak, I think its time I get this jobby sorted out, im starting to make some ok gains at the gym so now need to sort this part out!

At the start of this year, I cut out all crap food - chocolate, crisps, anything with lots of sugar. By the end of March I'd lost a stone in weight, and that was without doing any additional exercise. I'm now down another half a stone.

Also for the last 5 weeks I've stopped drinking tea and now solely drink squash and water, with the exception of a Coke whenever we go out for a meal and a beer every now and again.

So far I'm feeling much better for it. I'm now about to join a gym to get my fitness level up now I've lost the weight.

Basically, go cold turkey on whatever it is you want to cut out. It's difficult at first, but it becomes easier.

I've not had a cup of tea for 3 weeks cos sadly I can't plug in a kettle to this beach and boiling a pan of water is maximum effort. It's jobby really.

Seriously though I've been on a major diet change, nothing but fruit and seafood for the last 3 weeks. Notice the difference cutting out the 6-7 cups of a tea per day. Gotta say though my jobbies were extreme for a while but a few days I'm all levelled out.

If you can maintain a decent diet you shouldn't have to exercise all that much.

I work in a school and its scary to think of how much some of our kids are drinking this stuff. I'm not even talking about the premium makes that maybe have some proper 'brewing' but the cheap nasty stuff that can be bought in 1or2 litre bottle quantities. I regularly see kids knocking back a litre+ at Lunchtime and come back to class resembling a Pinball!

I believe these drinks should be restricted similar to Cigarettes and Alcohol. They are caffeinated stimulants that can have adverse affects on health. Never mind the Caffeine and high sugar levels there is evidence to show that it can lead to dehydration of the body and sleep deprivation - two of the most important requirements of our fragile bodies!

Hate the fcuking stuff!
