| Atkins Diet & Exercise: Endurance Athletes & Electrolytes |
 |
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:

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.

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.
