I use Diet Rock Star because sugar does a number on me. I have low ferritin (iron) and have a hard time working out without my Diet Rock Star by my side. The caffeine, B vitamins, and herbs wake me right up and give me what I need to workout. Perhaps I will be able to cut back if I ever get my ferritin level up to a decent range. I was nearly anemic the last time I was tested and since adding iron to my diet and actually have a good day once in the while.

I have eliminated all sugar and flour from my diet before and lost 40lbs in 90 days.....my energy level went way up. During this time I drank no caffeinated drinks as well. I could get the same....better energy....from a good glass of water as a caffeinated beverage or energy drink. Eating a good source of protein, plenty of vegetables and a little fruit, on a meal "plan" without grazing all day makes a big difference to my overall health and mental well being.....Doc is right on!
