Admittedly I prefer to cut my VitaminWater with more water by a half, but when their serving size is 12oz and sugar is 19g, how is that comparable to a 8oz of coke with 27g of total carbs?
a bottle of this stuff carries nearly as much sugar and calories as a can of Coke
Puh-lease. Different size bottles, all bigger than the average can of Coke.
David, I think we need pictures of your workplace.
Sparky, when I was training for the AIDSRide, I swore by Balance Energy Drink . It didn't make my blood sugar go all wonky, and tasted pretty good.
Gatorade gives me a stomach ache in a big way.
Coconut water is not at all gross. And actually less flavorful than you'd imagine...but it does have good nutrients in it.
I cannot bear coconut water. My stomach gets heave-y just reading about it.
I'm with msbelle - umbrella-clad cubicles must be sseen.
Worst Summer Cocktail - Pina Colada
What can I say? I'm not into health food.
I think it's worthwhile to point out that a standard serving of vitamin water is as caloric as a standard serving of Coke.
I'd rather have a Coke. But I'm working on cutting down to one a day. I swear.
I lost another pound. Just one a week, is all I'm asking.
When I need a sports drink, I buy it in powder form and dilute it by 25% or so when I make it.
I always get Gatorade, because I compared its percentages of sodium and potassium to those of Powerade, and Powerade is really just barely half a step away from being Kool-Aid. Gatorade seems to have a decent amount of the electrolytes. (And my own anecdotal experience is that Gatorade always makes me feel better if I'm dehydrated and ready to expire, while Powerade generally does not.)
I had some electrolyte mix from GNC while in Ethiopia, but I was drinking it because of an ick, not because of exercise, so YNeedMV.
I always forget that sodas have calories since I have been drinking diet versions for over 20 years. Diet Coke Plus currently. CFDC at home.
My lunch of leftovers and some raw veggies did not fill me. BAH! I will give myself an hour to see if I feel differntly then, maybe drinking enough water or an orange will help.
