Celsius Aborted

Well after a couple more days of drinking Celsius, both WorkingData and I decidedly (independently) to call the whole thing off.

I experienced the diuretic effect *everytime* I drank the stuff and I did not like it. Or having to pee all the time. Plus when I poured it over ice, the foamy head was a sickly blue-green color. Ick. Too bad I don't have a picture.

WorkingData reports the Wild Berry flavor to be even more sickly sweet than the Cola. Plus it stained his mouth a reddish purple and required a few tooth brushings to remove.

We have taken the remaining bottles to the kitchen for other brave souls to try. That is if we run out of Nestea and Diet Dr. Pepper.

Celsius - Day1

Our first impression is 'disturbed'. The bottle of Celsius does not list all the ingredients, just the 'thermogenic' ones. A visit to their website is of little use either.

We also notice the subtitle on the bottle is "Enjoy the Great Taste of Burning Calories!". That does not sound appetizing. About the same as "Enjoy the Great Taste of Burnt Popcorn!".

We decided to start with the Cola flavor. A sniff of it smelled like hippie soda. A sip however was quite different. It tasted like super-sweetened diet hippie soda. With a little tummy burn.

After a few sips it was clear this was not a good beverage and we would never drink it again if it were not for this experiment. In fact, I considered deleting the first post and pretending it never happened. But we decided to soldier on.

WorkingData felt decidedly not good after drinking it. I had to head to the dentist office and had to pee not less that 5(!) times while there. Is this crap a diuretic too ?

I figure there is a good chance we still might call an abort on this whole deal.

The Celsius Drink Diet

Two new beverages have hit the market lately that claim to 'burn calories' by increasing your metabolic rate. See the Celsius FAQ for more information.

and Celsius














The big difference seems to be cans versus bottles and flavors variations. Since Celsius is available at the local Albertson's we use it to perform the following experiment:

People: me and WorkingData
What: one bottle of Celsius a day (consumed at work)
Duration: one week
Data: we will weigh in each day and report deltas. Actual body weight will not be reported to protect the innocent donuts in our lives.

We will also be reporting on the Celsius flavors. I was only able to get Cola, Wild Berry, and Ginger Ale. So let know know if you see Lemon Lime or Orange in the Los Angeles area.

Since Celsius claims to increase metabolic rate and not just burn a certain amount of calories, we are also quite curious about combining Celsius and working out. Therefore the following week we will continue the experiment, but change the time of consumption to 1 hour before working out.
