> Gatorade does not come sugar free -- that would kinda defeat the purpose, since glucose is part of what it replaces. Keeping in mind that this is coming from an anorexic, it's still very, very low calorie, and it really does make a difference. It's very dangerous to get your electrolytes out of balance -- not only in the sense that it's dangerous for your health, but take it from me: it's very, very frightening to get into that state. I collapsed about a year ago from just that, and couldn't move. I was conscious, and terrified, but could not control my body or move my muscles for several hours. I cannot tell you how scary it was.
I can't even imagine what that must have felt like for you. It sounds awful. But that wouldn't happen to me (voice of denial, right?).
I'm going to take your advise & pick up some Gatorade if I'm restricting too much. But pdoc gave me a stern lecture today and provoked me into eating a healthy, protein-filled lunch. Of course, now I feel gross.
