    It sounds like that drink Amway has come out with. I have a friend in Amway and they gave me one the other day. I forgot the name of it. But it only had 8 calories and 0 carbs, 0 fat. Had a lot of vitamins in it too, mostly B vitamins. I had the cranberry/grape flavor. It was pretty good but I didn't feel any energy rush.

    I hope if there are any Amway people on here I don't insult them, but I don't want to give Amway one dime of my money.

    Amway sucks as does Quikstar. I have lost friends that got suckered in and then were just too damn pushy.

    If it was an energy drink it probably had both Ginseng and Guarana. Guarana is the natural term for ephedra. Ma Huang is another natural term for ephedra.

    yeah, that sounds just like it. yuck. I don't wanna be a part of amway. I might be some from them, but i'm not gonna sell it. Didn't even think about that.
     
  4. ma huang is ephedra...

    a lot of those drinks have guarana in it...not sure what it does...probably just gives you expensive piss.

    Amyway is the ultimate pyramid scheme. Grand Rapids, MI is the capital. I knew a lot of people who would buy the stuff thinking they would sell it and get rich...it is almost a cult IMO.
     
  5. are you just looking for an energy drink with zero carbs? there are a ton of them out there that are ephedra based, caffeine based, and both based. A good cheap one is made by twinlab and you can buy 4 packs of it at Eckards for 3 dollars.

    Also there is a drink at HT called Vitamin Water. Has all the electrolytes you need and no carbs or calories. This was a godsend for me because I was still very active when I was on my diet and suffered from muscle cramps occasionally. Basically this stuff is Gatorade with no carbs or calories.

    Diet Chek and Diet Rite are both pretty good.

    Atkins recommends Diet Rite because it has Splenda instead of Sacharin(sp?)
