Aspire - Any guinea pigs out there?

[CDavies]

Apparently Holland and Barret have recently released a drink called Aspire that burns 210 calories within the 1st 180 minutes of consuming it. I do plenty of exercise and therefore it isn't essential for me, but it would prove a useful tool when I'm not going the gym on certain days.

Has anyone tried/had results from this drink or drinks of a similar nauture?

I call BS on things like these since there is no way to measure how many calories it burns, we don't have a little counter installed on our bodies so we can easily see lol.

 

[CDavies]

I suppose, it says it's been Scientifically tested. Although it is £1.40 a can it's tempting to do a trial run.

Not only that, does that amount pretty much equate to most people's BMRs anyway? 210 cals over 3 hours, means 1680 cals over 24 hours, I wouldn't think that'd be significantly more than what you burn anyway?

 

[CDavies]

I think its in addition to what your body uses in a day. I was only looking at the product for a boost really.

On website it say £1.69 buy 1 get 1 half price.

I'll be your Guinea pig as I'm not on any diet so it would be interesting to see if it worked with a healthy eater.

I will get a weeks supply tomorrow in town and do it for 7 days,1 a day,keep a food diary and weigh on day 1 and day 7.You will be able to follow it in the Healthy eating forum.

Can I join you too please? I'll go get some from town and have it alongside exercise/healthy eating & a bit of CC be great to have a little boost as im going on my holidays in 2 weeks x

I've decided I'm going to try it myself. It's worth a go for what its promising I think

 

[CDavies]

Good stuff. You will have to let me know what they taste like etc... And obviously if there are any results

Just bought 4 cans (I'll be back in town Monday so I'll buy more then) and I'll have first can when I get home and fingers crossed it'll do summat

 

[solo12]

Just had my first can - it didn't taste how I expected but it was pretty nice anyway :cross: it works!!!

 

[RunnerBean]

Does it taste like Red Bull by any chance?

Does it taste like Red Bull by any chance?

It's got that energy drink type taste to it yeah but it says on can it's full of caffeine x

 

[Tazzy]

It does seem too good to be true... I wonder if it works when following a VLCD?

 

[Circes]

Even if it works, which i seriously doubt , you are going to have to drink a hell of a lot of it to see any difference in weight

To lose an additional pound a week you would need to drink around 17 cans if you burn 209 calories per can. At £1-69 a can it sounds like a great money making scheme to me :sigh:

 

[Tazzy]

Ha ha yeah, £30 to lose a pound in weight. Doesn't sound so appealing now.

 

[Evy_Starlight]

It's probably not much more expensive than the other sorts of energy drinks like Monster and Rockstar and such. It also has the caffeine boost even if it doesn't burn those cals, so I'm considering a bulk buy for those early uni mornings myself. Even a pound is still good per week, over 7 weeks that's half a stone for a drink I'd drink anyway.
Oh and there's vitamins in the drink too. Just another lil plus since I can find it hard to get enough vitties without multivitamins sometimes. I have a bit of an absorbtion issue. xx
Let me know how it goes gettingfitat50 xx

 

[Evy_Starlight]

If that Aspire really works you've just burned that yummy gingerbread man off Besides, a treat is alright provided its an occasional one x

 

[solo12]

OMG! Just realised what the taste of this reminds me of & its shandy bass in a can! X

 

[CDavies]

Tastes like fizzy cranberry :/

 

[AmethystWitch]

I've never heard of this before but it sounds really interesting! Might have to get a couple to try!
