Sports drinks should only be consumed to replace electrolytes (from sweating) and energy stores in muscles.<\/p><\/div>\n

Sports drinks<\/em> are designed to refuel and replenish an athlete\u2019s body after intense physical activity. These drinks are filled with the calories and sugars needed to fill exhausted muscles with new energy, which is fantastic for the track star who only has 40 minutes of recovery between competitive events.<\/p>\n

HOWEVER for the fitness enthusiast in pursuit of fat loss, the sugars and calories found in these sports drinks can undo all of the hard work that you just did in your workout! Yes, these drinks taste good and are marketed to fit, active people, but always be aware of the calorie and sugar count before deciding if you should include it in your diet.<\/p>\n

As we learned above, water is your most effective drink for reaching your fitness and fat loss goals.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
