Oh wow where to begin. My late-thirties daughter who was running 12 miles a day this summer drank a whole bottle of 5-hour Energy just prior to her daily runs and she said it gave her the boost to both motivate and sustain her in the run.
I'm a 59-year old overweight woman plagued by night-time eating and nothing and I mean nothing has helped me--I've tried everything. As the weight has piled on my energy level has fearfully dwindled to almost nothing which as you can imagine has only worsened my health and increased my weight and needless to say, the quality of my life is diminished because of this and I've fallen into depression.
Late this afternoon I could hardly walk I was so exhausted. I remembered the 5-hour Energy drinks my daughter left here and drank one. It's exactly 7 hours later and still have I not eaten anything since dinner, nor have I even thought of food. For anyone with this problem, you know what a blue-ribbon event this is if drinking 5-hour Energy does this for me tomorrow and the next day and the next day.
I read many of the reviews here to find only two brief mentions of 5-hour Energy CONTROLLING APPETITE!!!!!!!!!!! I wrote that in caps in case it helps someone reading these reviews, and suffers from lack of appetite control, could also be helped by this drink.
As my screename says--here's hoping I've found the solution to a life-long curse of night time eating. During these seven hours after drinking it, I've felt extremely alert, focused, and at peace. It's midnight, and though I don't feel tired, I do feel as though I will fall asleep quickly when I go to bed soon.
I'll report back in a few days and weeks to give you updates of how it's going.
Please wish me luck!! And, certainly I hope anyone with this problem of overeating benefits from 5-hour Energy.
