Is Gatorade a good diet drink?

NO!! Gatorade (developed by the University of Florida) is only a mineral supplement used to replenish substances lost through sweat glands when you exercise. So unless you're exercising and you want a drink to help get you through your workout it's bad. Water, however is still the best alternative.

gatorade is mostly a mixed solution of salt(s) and sugar in water.  the salts include ordinary table salt NaCl and probably some potassium salt KCl or something.  there are also some small amounts of food coloring (organic dyes) and flavoring (probably aromatic compounds) and maybe some citric acid for flavor.  basically, it's a complex mixture, not a pure substance, so it doesn't have a simple formula or molecular structure.

If it is the only option for hydration, then it is necessary.  If you have other options, you should ingest them as caffiene is diuretic which facilitates the movement of water through the boby quicker.  This leads to less use of the water in your body and more urination.  Water with a small amount of electrolytes (or 1 part Gatorade/Sport Drink cut with 2 parts water) is still the best for hydration.

Yes you may need to take 5 minute brakes and drink Gatorade or Powerade. The thing to avoid is drinking,Red Bull,Monsters or any other type of energy drink like that.  This is because the red bull will only give you a moments burst of energy while gatorade will keep you powered up for quite sometime and keep you hydrated.

In oral rehydration therapy, electrolyte drinks containing sodium and potassium salts are used to replenish the body's water and electrolyte levels after dehydration caused by exercise, diaphoresis, diarrhea, vomiting or starvation. So to answer your question yes, bulimia can cause in the depleation of your electrolyte count. Sports drinks such as Gatorade or Lucozade are electrolyte drinks with large amounts of added carbohydrates, such as glucose, to provide energy. Without sufficient levels of these key electrolytes, muscle weakness or severe muscle contractions may occur. However, Serious electrolyte disturbances, such as dehydration and overhydration, may lead to cardiac and neurological complications, and unless they are rapidly resolved will result in a medical emergency. Electrolytes keep you hydrated. This does not mean you need to drink Gatorade all the time. This only means that when your electrolytes are depleted it is a good idea to consume some, these are only in extreme circumstances that they are needed , exercising in extreme conditions over 5 or 6 hours (an Ironman or ultramarathon, for example) you will need to add a complex sports drink with electrolytes.

Gatorade and Powerade and effective at replacing potassium and other minerals.  I would go as far to say they are the only two drinks out there that do the right job.

Actually both, when dieting it's better to get as much liquid( especially water) as possible in your diet.

Drinking is good for you as it helps digestion and recovers the loss of fluid in your body that you lose each day. Just make sure you are drinking plenty of water as opposed to flavoured drinks. Flavoured drinks are high in calories and sugar and hence increase weight. \n\nTry to avoid drinking anything that is not natural. Soft drinks have a bad impact on your body whether it is diet or not. Juices are really high in carbs and calories so unless you have one freshly made vegie juice try to avoid fruit juices. Milk drinks should be limited to one per day and skim is the preferred option. \n\nI tend to drink green tea after main meals as it is good for your metabolism and reduces feeling bloated.  \n\nOverall, if you exercise you need to replace fluid in your body so try to drink 3 litres of water.

yes, ice tea does have caffeine and isn't good to drink when you work out, it's also a dehydrator, which means when you go to the bathroom after drinking it, it also take out with it many nutrients and vitamins that your body needs.  \n   Gatorade is for extreme athletes, if you'll be working out 3 hrs. or more, water is the best, and you can't drink too much of it.  You'll also feel better drinking water, as your thirst will be satisfied.  If you're thirsty you're already dehydrated. \n If your urine is yellow, you're dehydrated, it should be clear.

It has antioxidents that will make you less likely to get cancer and wil increase your immune system. They're a natural laxative, and compared to coke, they're a good diet replacement, but not any different from water in a weight sense.\n\nThe fastest way to lose weight is to elevate your heart rate as many times and and as high as you can safely elevate it. Eat small portions of meals many times a day instead of really big portions only a few times a day. Jump rope rules. Anything running or sprinting will burn a super amount of calories, incomparable to weight lost just dieting.\n\nhttp://www.jimmyr.com/lose_weight.php

I am a full-time teacher and full-time graduate student, so I understand!!  I recommend protein like peanuts or peanut butter, lunch meat, etc. Not too many carbs and very little sugar.  If you prefer caffeine, try the new Diet MDX (I think that's what it's called.) It a new highly caffeinated soda drink from Mountain Dew, or if you don't mind the sugar, Mountain Dew also makes an energy drink called AMP, it tastes much better than Red Bull or Monster (at least I think so.)  Hope that helps!!

Gatorade contains sugars and electrolytes that help keep you hydrated and energied for periods of longer activity.  You should only drink Gatorade if you are participating in an acitivity for an hour or longer, otherwise, water will suffice.  As a general rule of thumb you should drink 20 oz. of fluid one hour in advance of any strenous activity and 20 oz. for every hour of activity you participate in.  Afterwards, you should drink another 20 oz.

well from my understand gatorade provides you with electrolytes that your body uses up during workouts. It supposed to allow the athlete to workout even longer than when drinking just water.
