How does the new Lando Norris sugar-free Monster compare to the full sugar original? 👀

Once again I've included the standard 1 to 1 comparison, as well as a calorie equivalent comparison ie. how many sugar-free Monsters can you drink for the same calories of one full sugar Monster? Swipe to see 👉

For 99% of people in 99% of situations, drinking full sugar drinks is completely unnecessary. They're just liquid sugar, and are therefore calories that you either don't need or could get from food instead. Having said that, what you choose to drink is completely up to you. I'm not here to tell you what to do or what do drink - just to provide you with useful information so that you can make your own informed decision 🙌

And in case you're concerned about artificial sweeteners, please don't be. They are completely harmless in the tiny amounts found in sugar-free drinks. We'll dig deeper into artificial sweeteners with a video in the future 👍

Let's take a look at the relatively new V Energy Strawberry Crush! How does it compare to the sugar-free V? 👀

As you can see in the first comparison, the difference is night and day in terms of calories and sugar. I made an additional comparison (swipe 👉) to show another way of thinking about the difference: each V Strawberry Crush can is higher in calories than TWELVE sugar-free V cans combined! 🤯

In case you're curious about the caffeine in each drink, they have the same 155mg per 500ml can 👍

Now, whether you choose full sugar or sugar-free energy drinks (or don't drink either) is completely up to you. I'm not here to tell you what to do - just to provide useful information for you to make the decision yourself. What I will say however is that for 99% of people in 99% of situations, full sugar drinks are simply unnecessary. Here's some examples:

👉 If you're trying to lose body fat (deficit), that's 234 calories you'll now have to reduce somewhere else (which probably means less food)
👉 If you're trying to build muscle (surplus), there are better sources (ie. actual food) to get calories from to put yourself into a moderate surplus
👉 If you're maintaining or not really bothered either way, that's still 234 calories of fat loss that you could have had - or more food

In other words, there's almost always a better option than drinking liquid sugar. Personally I would love to see new sugar-free flavours being released rather than new full sugar ones 🤔

And no, artificial sweeteners are not bad for you - but we'll get into that another time 😂

Been a minute! 😅 Here's six of the most popular NZ protein RTDs for comparison 👀

Some things to consider:

▶️ If your priority with these types of drinks is protein while keeping calories reasonable/low, then the protein to calorie ratio is your best metric. It's found by taking the calories of the drink and dividing by the grams of protein it contains. In other words, how many calories of each drink must you consume for each gram of protein? In order from best to worst P2C ratio these six are: Musashi (16), Anchor (18), Rokeby (19), Up & Go (27), Mammoth (30), and Tararua (33)

▶️ The six drinks vary quite a bit when it comes to sugar, added sugar, dietary fat, and lactose. All six are dairy-based drinks but Anchor is the only one that's lactose free

▶️ Mixing up a protein shake with water instead of having one of these drinks will always be the lower calorie, higher protein, lower cost option (which does not necessarily make it a better option - see next point)

▶️ There is no "best" protein RTD. As mentioned earlier, there are many things to consider when picking which one (if any) is right for you at a particular moment in time. It's not just about calories and protein - other factors like cost, availability, lactose intolerance etc also play a role. These posts are designed to help you make good decisions - not to tell you what to buy/eat/drink 🙏

First comparison post in quite a while - let's take a look at the new V Riise sparkling energy drink! How does it compare to the original full-sugar V and the original sugar-free version? 👀

As you can see in the graphic, the new V Riise fits in between the original and the sugar-free version with 47 calories and 10g of sugar per 330ml drink. So as far as calories and sugar go, for most people it's a better option than the original full-sugar V but not quite as good an option as the sugar-free original 🤔

Caffeine-wise, the new Riise is similar - 101mg compared to 109mg in the two originals 👍

Wondering what the "slow release energy" claim means? For the Riise, V have decided to use isomaltulose instead of the typical energy drink sugar sucrose. Isomaltulose is still a sugar - however it has a lower glycemic index (GI) than sucrose does. This means that this particular sugar releases energy slower over time. Of course, 47 calories isn't much in the scheme of things so having those calories release slower is much more of a marketing thing than an actually useful thing (and it has similar caffeine levels anyway) 😂

When it comes to energy and soft drinks, lower calorie and lower sugar is typically the better option for most people in most situations. Having said that, what you drink is up to you. I would never tell you to drink or buy one product over another - my goal with these posts is simply to provide you with information to help you make good decisions. Just remember that unless you need energy quickly for some reason, there's always a better place to get calories from than an unsatiating liquid 😬

Personally, this new V feels like just another deceptively marketed product to make money. I tried the mandarin flavour, and it tasted like flat, watered-down Fanta. If it's going to be higher in calories and sugar, it needs to taste nice at the very least 😂 Slow releasing 47 calories is also completely pointless, so it feels like there wasn't a good reason to make this drink. I would have liked to see more sugar-free flavours instead 😍

The 2025 GGF Challenge finished recently, and here are the two overall winners. Congrats to Samantha and Tony - check out their before and after pics! 👀

Sam lost a total of 2.2kg while appearing to also gain some muscle - look at that back! 💪
Tony lost a total of 12.5kg - which was by far the most weight lost in the entire challenge! 😮

They have both won:

✅ a six month GGF combo subscription
✅ an unreleased black oversized GGF hoodie
✅ a tub of pre-workout

These two have made fantastic progress over the 8 weeks, and are great examples of what can be achieved when we commit to and trust the process - well done guys! 🙏

Once again the yearly GGF Challenge has been a great success in terms of lots of people making positive lifestyle changes, which of course is what it's all about. Eight weeks is enough time to make a good chunk of progress towards a goal, but we must remember that ALL health and fitness goals are achieved through lifestyle change - not a temporary eight week diet and exercise. Our lifestyles ultimately determine how we look and feel - even the most amazing results in the short term are only temporary if the healthy lifestyle is not maintained in the long term! 🙌

It's been inspiring to see everyone who took part in the challenge putting in the work. I look forward to the next one, which will probably be Jan 2026 👀
