Stu2 Posted November 13, 2014 Share Hi all, I am doing a 3 day endurance event in December and I am on the low carb high fat diet, I have searched but could not find the answer, I train on water only in my back pack, but I would like to add an additional 1l bladder with electrolyte replacement, I had a look at rehydrate but its full of sugar, 12 out of the 14 gram sachet is glucose and sucrose, Does anyone have a brand they can recommend ? I could just add 3 teaspoons of salt into my 3l bladder but there may be something that's available ? Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cycho Posted November 13, 2014 Share As far as I know the Gu electrolyte tabs are the lowest in Carbs you'll find? Not sure of any others out there similar? http://www.guenergy.co.za/index.php?option=com_k2&view=item&layout=item&id=26&Itemid=28 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eddy Posted November 13, 2014 Share Hammer do one in dissolvable tablet form you add to your water bottle, so do a few others. You should find the tubes at your LBS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snow Posted November 13, 2014 Share There is something called UCAN which is distributed by Live High Sports (livehighsports@gmail.com). It comes from the States and is not cheap but it was commented on in the original/replacement thread on the LCHF diet. I have had good and bad experiences with it, primarily because one particular flavour did not agree with me. Hence I drank two little and dehydrated.

FanieFiets Posted November 13, 2014 Share Check out Ben Greenfield. Think it should look something like Chai seed mix, MCT Oil and water. If you are in ketoses you shouldnt need a lot. Or something like that. http://www.bengreenfieldfitness.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snickers Posted November 13, 2014 Share You are absolutely crazy to even consider a ride like this without sugar or carbs. There is a reason why there are drinks out there called zero, its because there is nothing worthwhile in them!!Get some Powerbar drink and some Coke that's right Coca Cola and do the job right, at least you will finish the ride.

Rifi Posted November 13, 2014 Share NUUN... excellent product, used it for 2 months... sugar free... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flyluis Posted November 13, 2014 Share Try Hammer Heed or perpetuem I'm diabetic and train and race on both and get zero sugar highs from either. I don't think its a good idea to train/race with only water at all..... but good luck dude. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlinkFan Posted November 13, 2014 Share If a sachet of Rehidrat contains 12g sugars and you dilute it into a 750ml bottle, does that not then work out to about 1.6g sugars per 100ml(g). Which is not that bad? Or am I doing something wrong? Edit: Maths Edited November 13, 2014 by BlinkFan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
