Caffiene after a workout

[36drew]

How bad is it to have a can or two of diet coke after a workout? I know ideally we want to restore hydration and all, but I just love the stuff after a workout. I also am dieting and it helps keep me sane.

Is it really that bad to consume post-wo? Just to clarify, I would be consuming this in addition to a large amount of water, not in place of.

as long as you are accompanying it with the necessary water I don't see why it would hurt. obviously just drinking any diet beverage with caffeine in place of water would have negative effects

thats just my take, but if it KEEPS you sane then you should KEEP it

Naturally the less chemicals that go into my body the better, but the line has got to be drawn somewhere. I eat trace amounts of other garbage.

I've always heard if you are taking some form of creatine it is not good. I'm not sure if you are doing this or not, but I guess it was shown that caffine negative affects on creatine. I'm not sure if this is the case, but I cut it out just to be on the safe side.

Nah, it doesn't counter creatine, you just have to drink A LOT of water if you are combining the two..
