Sven137 Posted December 21, 2015 Posted December 21, 2015 Anyone know of a low carb energy drink.. I am using Biogen Cytogen Low GI energy drink when training.. but am now on the banting diet.. which low carb energy drink will be OK ?
fanievb Posted December 21, 2015 Posted December 21, 2015 I use this from time to timehttp://www.high5online.co.za/products/hydrate/zero/
WIPEOUT 1000 Posted December 21, 2015 Posted December 21, 2015 There are a fair number of options readily available, I've used Zero, Nuun and Hammer nutrition. However, as with most sport supplements I'm not convinced that they are really needed. Since these all have zero calories, i.e. zero energy, from a performance perspective I get more benifit from caffiene than from electrolytes. E.g. Coke Zero. If you use electrolytes for cramping, I suggest you have a look at this link: http://itsthenerve.com I carry some pickle onions in a ziplock bag for cramping.

I ain't giving mine though. I use High5 zerocal and it seems to work for me.
Dicky DQ Posted December 22, 2015 Posted December 22, 2015 Sorry I is very doff here... I thought the idea of an energy drink was to get energy and electolites. A low/no carb drink will possibly only have the latter. so drink water and eat some salts etc or mix it in the water. Why pay good money on a marketing scam.

wonduhboy Posted December 22, 2015 Posted December 22, 2015 I take half a highfive zerocal hydration tab, with some rehydrate sport.If I dont have any of that, some pink salt and proper maple syrup.
SimpleDom Posted December 22, 2015 Posted December 22, 2015 Low carb drink on the bike really Depends..... As in, different for every person, and type of ride.... It's complicated. Water. And if you're going long or hard, add a bit of salt.
Firozfx Posted December 22, 2015 Posted December 22, 2015 I bant too. On normal training rides i take water and high 5 zero cal. But when it's balls to the wall race pace, I carry a normal carb drink, pvm and rehidrat.
