Gatorade during famine?
Posted: Sun Jun 27, 2010 7:16 am
We get gatorade like crazy when we are deployed so IF it is ok to drink during famine, do i have to limit myself or can i drink it like water ?
You can drink it but remember 2 things...
1.) It still has calories (4/gram from sugar) and..
2.) You'll likely feel like crap and..
3.) It ain't very satiating...
Doubtful you have access to this but xanthin gum/cellulose soluble fibers like they sell in the supermaket (any Stop and Shop's in Afhanistan?) will accomplish 2 things:
1.) Slow down the GI of the sugars
2.) Provide a fuller feeling, longer
As you can see I'm in numeric mode again this AM...
