These are some tasty looking energy drinks...sign me up!!!!I've been looking for a post work out energy drink that's natural and healthy. I didn't want to take in a whole lot of sugar in the morning and I'm not a caffeine drinker. Oddly enough, a friend of mine sent me an article on a new study done on women who do weight lifting and resistance exercises within their workout. The study found that women who drink about 2 glasses of whole milk after their workout gain more lean muscle and lose more weight than women who drink a post workout energy drink.
ALSO, you know how women tend to gain weight after working out for about 2 weeks due to muscle gain? Well, this study showed that women in study group who drank whole milk didn't have that weight gain due to gaining lean muscle!! I mean...that's just wonderful. I, myself, refuse to weigh in for another month at least, because of this very same weight gain. I see the extra room in my pants and I see myself getting smaller in the waist -and to be honest- that's quite enough for me-lol
I'm going to try this milk thing for a week though, but 2 glasses is alot of milk, and may not sit to well with my calorie conscious diet (hmmmmm). But this makes sense because I did gain solid muscle mass while doing my P90x routines. I can fit in my clothes better, but I felt like a lil running back-lol
Let me know if you try this too...
