Fat Guy Skinny Wallet

For as long as I’ve been working out, I’ve been searching for a good energy source. Some of you may know that I can’t eat before a workout or run – any snack/meal that I have within 3 hours of my workout makes me feel slow, tired, and sluggish! Also, I haven’t found a pre-workout (even ones filled with caffeine) that gives me any energy, either.

Because of this, I have given up my quest for a product that will give me a massive energy boost, and instead I am now trying to find something that will at least sustain my energy during my workout, without weighing me down.

I’ve tried powerade, gatorade, and even coconut water. I found that powerade and gatorade contained a lot of sugar – especially for a drink that didn’t taste “great”. Coconut water doesn’t have a good taste to me (although I love cooking with coconut oil), but it’s a great natural way to get in a lot of minerals and electrolytes. However, it’s pretty expensive and it tastes kind of bad if it’s anything less than ice cold.

Recently, Nth Degree sent us a sample of their Performance Drinks as well as their Sport Water. I will post some facts about these drinks from Nth Degree, and then tell you my impressions about them – then onto the giveaway!

Nth Degree Sport Water Review

Actually talk about the Nth Degree sports water first. The taste was surprisingly decent for something that’s 0 calories and contains no artificial sweeteners! Like coconut water, it requires a cold temperature to bring out a better flavor, but it didn’t not have a bad aftertaste or anything.

The only thing I had to get used to was the salty taste – especially with no sugar to balance that flavor. I guess that’s confirmation that these drinks are designed to replace what you lose through sweat during your workout.

Nth Degree Performance Drink Review

I don’t have a lot to say about the Nth Degree performance drink, except that it was great! In fact, I actually had one of them with a meal.

My wife enjoyed them as well, so the passed the taste test with both of us.

Did Nth Degree Give Me Energy?

As I said above, I have given up on something that will give me a huge surge of energy; however, I drank the Nth Degree Performance Drink before and during a weightlifting session, and I felt much better than when I either have water or nothing! There was a big enough difference in my energy that I will most likely make it my normal pattern.

It wasn’t that I got extra energy, but the fact that I didn’t feel the normal decrease in energy was enough to make it a success in my book.’
