What makes our Caffeine Diet plan unique, you ask? Well, with our plan you not only can lose weight, but lose any desire for sleep as well.

As with any diet plan consult your physician before starting. I can just see her face now when you tell her you’re starting the Caffeine Diet.

Caffeine Diet Basics

Our plan is simple just follow this menu and watch as the sleep sheds away. Now with all that extra time and energy, you may even find time to go to the gym or maybe your sitting aerobic heart rate will do the work for you.

Sample Meal Plan

Pros

• No sleep needed with the caffeine diet.
• Get your work done in 1/3 the time.
• Have conversations in 1/8 of the time.
• Lose weight while resting with an aerobic heart rate.
• Build caffeine tolerance.
• Possibility of seeing dead relatives.

Cons

• Possibility of seeing scary dead relatives.
• Heart palpitations.
• Huge caffeine withdrawal headache when you complete the caffeine diet.
• You may have to get a second job to pay for all the caffeinated products, but  hey, you can work nights since you don’t need sleep!

Conclusions

What are you waiting for? Get started today with the Caffeine Diet from Energy Fiend.  By the way, this post was meant to be a joke so if you take it seriously, I have some ocean front property in Sheboygan to sell you.

In fact, I’m not sure how any you energy fiends have survived this long drinking such a dangerous substance.

Here are our top 10 energy drink dangers just because we care.

1. You buy a huge can of Rockstar to help you stay awake during a road trip, then you get caught in a traffic jam, nature calls……
2. While in that traffic jam, with a bladder that’s about to burst, you decide to use the can as a port-o-pot…ouch that hole is small and sharp!
3. Attempting to crush the energy drink can on your head, you give yourself a concussion.
4. While trying to get the last energizing drops from your Venom, with your head cocked way back, you run over a furry woodland creature.
5. You thought it would be cool to shake Nitrous Monster first and when you open it, the NOS causes the cap to put your eye out.
6. You think Red Bull really does give you wings and you jump off of a building after drinking one.
7. While using the empty Amp cans for target practice you shoot your buddy’s ear off. (Note: This can be prevented by placing the can on a fence post and not your friend’s head…)
8. You hug your grandma with a V pocket rocket actually in your front pocket, she slaps you and removes you from her will.
9. You actually try to sniff Cocaine and drown.
10. You think by drinking Crunk you can actually hang out on the streets of  South Los Angeles.

If we save just one life with this list, it will be worth it! If you have any additional energy drink dangers, add them in the comments below.

Have you dreamed about making a homemade energy drink to your exact preferences and tastes?

Well, hopefully this article will get you started in the right direction for crafting your perfect homemade drink.

Ingredients

• A caffeine source:  anhydrous caffeine powder can also be ordered in bulk, but don’t go overboard!
• Flavorings: Try Capella Flavor Drops as they have many flavorings to choose from.
• Taurine: This can be bought as a powder or a liquid, but the powder is much cheaper.
• B vitamins: I would recommend ordering a liquid B vitamin complex.
• Glucuronolactone: This comes in powder form.
• Herbs: Now this is where you can be creative, but this can also get expensive to purchase the liquid extracts of herbs as you don’t want a salad floating in your homemade energy drink, now do you?  Suggestions; Ginseng Liquid and Ginko Biloba Liquid.
• Sweetners: Here you can dissolve table sugar in some hot water or use sucralose or stevia if you want it sugar free.
• Carbonated water: You can just buy this pre-made or try making your own which is explained below.

Homemade Energy Recipe

Now here is the fun part in constructing your taylor made energy drink. Why not use a can of Rockstar or similar as your rough guide, but feel free to experiment with amounts. It would be handy to have a metric food scale on hand to measure out all the ingredients.

Be careful with the caffeine powder and probably to be safe use no more than 200g at a time unless you are a Beverage Cooler Slave. The caffeine has to be dissolved in boiling water, which would be recommended for any powders you are using in your homemade drink.

As for the carbonated water you can make your own easily by using a soda siphon and soda siphon charger cartridges. In the long run this works out cheaper than buying pre-made and you will have a fresh supply each time.

So make a concentrate using a small amount of boiling water, into which, mix in your caffeine, taurine, sugar, flavor etc.. Then add your seltzer water a little at a time until you have a great tasting ratio. You may have to make a few attempts to get your homemade energy drink just right, but hey,  that’s part of the fun, right?

Why not share your Homemade Energy Drink formula in the comments below if you think you’ve made a winner. Also if you are a homemade energy drink master, please share any tips below as well.

Disclaimer: We warned you already and if your stupid enough to make a homemade energy drink with a gram of caffeine in it, we’re not responsible for your caffeine side effects!

We need an international undercover energy drink tracker.  Not gonna lie, only the dedicated should apply, since you’ll probably die on the job.

If you think you have the dedication, we need you to prove to us that you know your energy drink labels.

Here’s a small puzzled crop from a picture of an energy drink.  Your task: Put this picture back together and identify what drink is in this photo crop?

“I have realized that if I drink a can of Red Bull in the afternoon about 4pm, I don’t have a very good nights sleep. Either cant get to sleep or wake up after an hour. Can you take anything that would neutralize the caffeine? Will stop drinking red bull from now on.”

We have found the answer Linda and its Slow Cow. So  if Red Bull “gives you wings” then Slow Cow “gives your eyelids lead weights”. Here is how Slow Cow “calms you down”.

• L-Theanine- Increases GABA levels which promote feelings of relaxation and believed to counteract the effects of caffeine.
• Chamomile- It is believed to be a calming agent to fend off stress and aid in sleep.
• Passiflora- It is known for its antispasmodic and sedative properties.
• Valerian- It is useful in reducing anxiety and restlessness,improving mental balance, and it aids in restoring a good night’s sleep.
• Linden- It is an effective cure for insomnia and is known as a sedative.

I think I’m ready for a nap just from typing that ingredient list. So snuggle up with good book and a can of Slow Cow and dream of flying instead of really doing so with the wings you get from Red Bull.

Drink More Coffee- By Bill Dyszel

There is an unopened can of a European made, Michael Jackson Energy drink, for sale on Ebay for $50,000. At least that’s the starting bid anyway.

I guess our 3 dollar can of Monster doesn’t seem so bad now, in comparison. This drink was never sold in the USA, but was part of his late 90’s tour of Europe and Michael himself helped with the drink’s  formulation.

Props to the seller for having the forsight not to open and drink this rare find because opened cans are going for around 10 dollars on Ebay.

What do you think? Is it worth $50,000 and will this seller strike it rich?

“Please add the Boost line of products to your website. I had no idea why I was shaking after drinking a boost for breakfast and one for lunch (along with my normal diet coke). I finally called the Nestle hotline (1-800-247-7893) and discovered that each bottle contained 11.6 mg caffeine (the same as in an 8 oz cup of coffee). That sh** should be labeled! P.S. I had the chocolate high protein version. I’m sure the caffeine content varies by flavor, etc.”

Wait, then I got a correction…….

“I should have said 11.6 GRAMS of caffeine is in each 8 oz bottle of Boost High Protein chocolate drink. thanks!”

Where do I start with this one???? I’ll just say honey, if you drank 11.6 GRAMS of caffeine you wouldn’t be shaking and writing emails, you’d be dead!
