In this third video of my exercise series, I detail one of the more important questions to those who exercise on the Atkins Diet -- how to stay hydrated while exercise. The easy answer is drink water, but on a hot day while sweating that is not always the best answer as one loses key minerals, like Sodium, Potassium, and other electrolytes. Non-low carbers have it easy as they can turn to any readily available Electrolyte replacement drink, like Gatorade or Powerade. Even those that recognize the need for protein like Accelerade, combine with 4x as much carbohydrates than protein.
Here is the home-made low carb Gatorade recipe:
Artificial Sweetener equivalent of 10 tbs. sugar (5/8 cups or 120 grams)
3/4ths tsp Morton Lite salt (4.2 grams)
1 package of unsweetened Koolade mix for flavor
2 liters Water
Commercial Low Carb Electrolyte Replacements:
Tablets:
Hammer Endurolytes - http://www.e-caps.com/za/HNT?PAGE=PRODUCT&PROD.ID=4037

Drinks
Ultima Replenisher - Ultima Replenisher is a natural sports drink with zero sugar. It contains a full complement of electrolytes, not just a ton of sodium. Ultima also contains complex carbs for energy, water-soluble vitamins and vitamin enhancers for day-to-day health maintenance, and antioxidants to protect body systems from free radicals (toxins). Ultima uses no artificial colors, flavors or sweeteners. Sweetened with Stevia.
Emergen-C Lite by Alacer
This delicious natural citrus flavored drink boasts eight times more potassium than Gatorade, plus 25 different electrolytes, vitamin C, and B vitamins. Each effervescent serving features 1,000 mg of vitamin C plus valuable minerals and electrolytes as part of an advanced ascorbate complex. No sugars, no calories.
Not recommended: Gatorade G2
Dr Stephen Phinney noted the importance of Sodium and Potassium in his study. (http://www.nutritionandmetabolism.com/content/1/1/2)
Note: photos from my running of the 2007 Des Moines Marathon are at the conclusion of the video. I used Ultima Replenisher as my electrolyte replacement during that race. |

Proper nutrition along with exercise will help keep you in shape and keep you healthy. There are many different types of diets and exercise for all types of people. In this article, we will discuss different types of diet and exercise. All diets and exercise programs should be done under a doctor's supervision since both diets and exercise are based on many different factors. Some of the different factors that should be considered when choosing a diet and exercise program are: weight, cholesterol level, body mass index (BMI), heart rate, metabolism, hormonal levels, history of disease, and blood pressure. The goal in an exercise and diet program is to attain and maintain a healthy weight for your particular body type. It is very important that you stick to the guidelines of your physician or a licensed nutritionist or fitness trainer since losing weight too fast can cause even greater health problems. Proper diet does not always mean a fad or crash diet. It means eating healthy and cutting out the things that are bad for you. When combined with exercise this will help you maintain the proper weight. It is all about getting the proper nutrition in the proper portions and cutting out the foods that are bad or empty calories. You want to eat more foods that are good for you and foods that will cut out the cravings to eat more. When eating habits are changed to a healthier pattern blood pressure and cholesterol levels are usually lowered thereby helping to reduce the risk of obesity related diseases.When proper exercise is attained, you will have more energy, feel better about yourself, and also be improving weight related health issues.
