Fuel Workouts With Electrolyte Drinks
Electrolyte drinks like Gatorade and Powerade have gotten a bad rap over the past few years primarily due to the fact that they are loaded with sugar. Now granted, if you’re just drinking these beverages all day long without working out then you’re probably going to gain some weight. But don’t be afriad to take them to the gym with you when you’re getting ready for a long workout.
Suzanne Girard Eberle, a sports dietitan echoes those sentiments. ”When you’re training long and hard, you shouldn’t minimize your caloric intake. Don’t work against your body while you’re asking it to perform,” she says.
If I’m going to gym to do a full workout plus cardio I’ll definitely bring some Gatorade with me to replace those electrolytes and fluids that I’m going to lose. It’s okay to consume sports drinks during workouts, even though they contain high amounts of sugar, it’s going to help fuel your training. It only becomes counterproductive to your body when you start drinking them all the time without exercise.

I agree 100%. If you are working out properly, with a balanced weight training and cardio regimen, then you don’t need to worry about adding weight from the sugar in Gatorade. Plus, the benefits definitely outweigh the costs.
I have no problem with using sports drinks before during or indeed immediately after a workout although I do try to combine this with plenty of water as and when required.
