Opinions on caffeine - Achiev One
AchievOne are the absolute best protein drinks I've tried since surgery.... I have one every day. LIke you, I was concerned at first about caffeine because my nut doesn't recommend caffeine. I went on the bariatriceating.com website and asked about the caffeine. The folks on that board seemed to think the caffeine amount wasn't that high since it's a blended drink and only 9 ounces. I figured that in balance, the benefit of the 20gs of protein I get from those drinks far outweighs the caffeine drawback. Since that time, I've even added back my morning cup of coffee in addition to a daily AchievOne, with no negative side effects.
I think nutritionists want us to avoid ALL things that could possibly be detrimental to health.... I have to modify this within realistic goals and pick my battles!
