Shock Wave makes a zero carb zero sugar energy drink that I love. Is this okay for induction ? It seems like I came across a thread about energy drinks on here once but I can't seem to find it.
Thanks for any help !

Re: Zero Carb Energy Drinks ?
Read the ingredients. If it contains ingredients that are not allowed during your Phase of Atkins, then that beverage isn't legal no matter how many carbs it has.

And it is not a substitute for water. I have found that even the no carb drinks can cause me to stall, whereas water always gets things going again.JILL

Re: Zero Carb Energy Drinks ?
THe caffeine will cause an insulin response, thus sending your blood sugar all out of whack. Stable blood sugar is a huge ingredient of why Atkins works. THis is definitely not allowed during induction. Later on down the road you can play with this possibly before a workout or something. Good luck and Happy Valentines Day!bigROB
