Coffee For Gym Rat
There's all sorts of coffee out there and I guess... I have tried it all....
Recently coffee that claimed to boost performance or weight loss are a thing. By now, I have tried about more than 4 products available on the market that promotes weight loss. But so far, they don't really do anything. I get it, perhaps those who want to lose weight want to still consume coffee but afraid of going just black. So, with all alternatives out there, people can still enjoy drinking coffee but is it really healthier? I'd like to think otherwise. A simple coffee with just water and coffee grounds without anything added is healthiest than those with sugar added. Just with that simple fact, it's already not helping the weight loss. Now, not a weight loss, there's a supplement protein mixed with coffee and catered for men.
I've been seeing a product from L-men, a brand of supplement product catered for men and this time, they are launching a coffee product called L-men Coffee. But inside their coffee, it has whey and milk with some other premix vitamins added. It claimed to boost performance before working out. Hence, this coffee is specifically catered for gym rats. Unlike whey or milk flavored coffee, this one is coffee with flavor of whey and milk. Each box comes with 6 sachets of the coffee that can be served hot or cold.
When I first had a sip, the whey and milk flavor was a tad strong. If you are not used to consuming protein shake, this will be a strange flavor. But again, if you're used to it, this coffee will be just fine. I didn't really like whey and cereal bits in my coffee and it tasted a bit strange to me. It's definitely something of instant coffee mixed with all the other supplements. In fact, instead of trying to get the caffeine kick for this, I would really just take a tablet with the similar ingredients and pure caffeine.
The surge of energy was there and honestly, it was a bad idea for me. I just finished a swimming session for 50 minutes, did some more workout, and only then I took the coffee. It should be the other way round. Now that I have extra more energy, I guess I could really go for another workout or staying up late to find things to work on.

That is just funny to know you drank it after the workout. LOL
😂 yeah, I ended up having way too much energy! today I drank it before workout and it was nice, extra boost of energy at the right time.
You after drinking the coffee
soon like this
I remember one time I had an exam to write and I needed to read the night before. I took some cups of coffee because I was told that it would keep me awake. That was the first time I tasted coffee. Surprisingly, I slept at my usual sleeping time. I even woke up with a bad headache. I don't even know what happened. But since then I ran away from coffee.
I guess people just enjoy the taste it has. Not me anymore
hmm maybe you had a low quality coffee? usually a good one won't have such effects as I discussed in my previous post where I talk about low quality coffee.
I have not tried an energizing coffee, only Colombian coffee. When I need to recover energy and strength I take sachets of onilife, it's called being well. It sounds strange but it works for me.
It's hit and miss with sachet instant coffee. Not all of them are good and sometimes it comes with unnecessary affects that you don't actually want such as energy crash or headaches.
It is what I would call an energizing coffee.
It's nice that they have developed a special product for those who exercise and want to keep drinking their cup of coffee.
I rarely drink coffee without sugar. Well, I'm not looking to lose weight ever.
I'm glad you do exercise and I'm sure you stay at your ideal weight. I didn't know that drinking coffee without sugar could help you lose weight. Maybe because it is a diuretic?
It is the first time that I see something like this, I know that many drinks that are used to go to the gym have caffeine, but I had never seen one in which it was the main ingredient.
Here between us, without anyone reading them, does it taste good? I mean, does it taste natural or does it feel weird?
I have tried a lot of slimming coffee too, and just like you. It did nothing hehe. That coffee looks intriguing. I want one!
Hello Mac,
I haven't seen this kind of coffee, but I heard about it on the Indonesian market.
I would probably find the taste a bit much too, but it's interesting that it can be made hot or cold. I figure it might be something similar in taste to Horlicks. Do you know Horlicks? We grew up drinking Horlicks as kids in Jamaica. It is made from malted milk. It is reported to help make you sleep though, not necessarily for energy.
That coffee sounds like something that's good for gym enthusiast indeed. As long as it doesn't have much sugar added.
I'm happy to hear that you are keeping up with your swimming exercises. Great full body workout:)
I haven't heard of horlicks but would love to try if I find them 😃 usually these coffee doesn't have that much sugar added since again, that would really steer away from their original purpose. Have you tried anything like that?
No not at all. I tend to only stick to regular ground coffee that I use in my Moka Pot or French Press. If I go out, then I'll treat myself to a cappuccino or something fancy😁
