Could i drink this while cutting?
« on: December 06, 2006, 08:25:10 PM »
Alright...

I have about 3 weeks time to get my diet in place, I have a lot of data (computer logs and such) to get my diet right on point for myself.
Now...
One thing I know (and have documented for myself) is how reluctant I am to drink enough fluids, I have serious issues drinking water.
But since I know how important it is to drink in order to loose fat I was looking around for things that could help me.

So I found:

Robinsons apple and blackcurrant (no added sugar),it is basically a syrup and these are the nutrition information:

Per 100ml
Energy: 39kj/9cal
Protein: 0.2g
Carbs: 1.3g (of which sugar: 1.3g)
Fat: Trace (no saturated)
Fibre: Nil
Sodium: 0.1g

Please note that Robinsons Apple & Blackcurrant contains a source of Phenylalanine - one of the main ingredients in artificial sweetener. Although Phenylalanine is actually an important part of our diet (assists protein) there are people who cannot metabolise phenylalanine and as such the warnings are included on all products containing phenylalanine.

Now I love to mix this with about 2 liter of water.

But do you guys think this is a bad idea? Can this give me an insulin "spike"?


Thanks for you answers

It's 1.3 grams of sugar - that's like a 1/4 teaspoon.

If this has given you concern, then I'd be more worried about your overall diet.  You have a lot to learn if you were concerned or confused by this.

Per 100ml
Energy: 39kj/9cal
Protein: 0.2g
Carbs: 1.3g (of which sugar: 1.3g)

1.3 grams of sugar will not give you an insulin spike.  That.s almost sugar free.  A teaspoon of sugar has almost 6 gr. of carbs, so 1.3 is relay lo carb.
