Red Bull and Beer Diet: Day 1
- notphilatall 16y agoI'd be concerned about my liver and kidneys. The author will probably survive this, but without nutrients the additional stressors will cause some damage. Did the author follow his own advice regarding talking to a doctor?
- d_mcgraw 16y agoI have a full bill of health from my doctor. As noted in the disclaimer this is in no way healthy for you, but most fad diets really aren't.
- antidaily 16y agoI wonder whats worse for you of the two.
- 32ftpersecond 16y agoRed Bull - definitely Red Bull -
- aohtsab 16y agoWhat's the point of this? Drinking a beer on an empty stomach will compound the alcohol absorption, and mixing a depressant with red bull puts you at serious risk of heart problems. If it's a new diet fad you're after, you'd be much better off just drinking water for three days.
- d_mcgraw 16y agoI agree, check out the post. You will see reasoning contained within.
- metachris 16y agoThat's plain stupid. Why are you doing this?
- d_mcgraw 16y agoI think the article explains that all. I would love for you to read it.
- metachris 16y agoThanks but I did read it and did not find an explanation inside the post except "So you are probably wondering why am am doing this and want an explanation besides ‘because I though having an excuse to drink beer all weekend was rad’. Its a good question and one I will expand upon in time, but for right now I will say it has to do with how many ridiculous and dangerous dieting fads are out there today." -- which does not explain it at all. That is why I did ask. My guess is you're bored and want some traffic from HN, and are going to post three follow-ups here the coming days...

- d_mcgraw 16y agoWasn't Brain the one that was always getting his plans foiled?
- Groxx 16y agoVery much interested in how this turns out. I don't expect to have any grand revelations, or learn how omgbad a Red Bull & beer diet will be, but I'm very curious :) Have fun! I think my wife would kill me before this diet would, if I attempted to do it.
- benatkin 16y agoAll-artificial diet. Drugs in everything. Brilliant!
- cas 16y agoI agree with the sentiment on fad diets however these drinks both contain drugs and put your health at risk from potential caffeine or alcohol poisoning. This experiment will also certainly ruin your sleep. The simple rule for the consumption of food or drugs is moderation.
- d_mcgraw 16y agoIm so pumped to hear you say that. You will like my post mortem on this experiment.
- NZ_Matt 16y agoSlightly off topic but if anyone is serious about improving their health and fitness (weight loss or strength) I can't recommend this guide enough: http://www.liamrosen.com/fitness.html http://www.liamrosen.com/fitness.html . It's a great guide that provides succinct advice without any of the bullshit that you find everywhere else.
- Groxx 16y agoCongratulations on survival!! I assume any final analysis will take place on the blog, so I won't request it here (unless you feel like it).
