Do you need some dieting inspiration? You are going to see me go from fat and ugly to trim, fit and sexy as inn as little as 90 days. I’m going to post a video every Saturday to track my weight loss progress. I am on the Atkins diet and eating basically no carbs, it sucks! I lost 50 lbs in 3 months doing this same diet back in 1998. I started this diet on July 17th of 2008 and this video was filmed on July 19th. Good luck to me! Leave me a comment if you want.

In this third video of my exercise series, I detail one of the more important questions to those who exercise on the Atkins Diet — how to stay hydrated while exercise. The easy answer is drink water, but on a hot day while sweating that is not always the best answer as one loses key minerals, like Sodium, Potassium, and other electrolytes. Non-low carbers have it easy as they can turn to any readily available Electrolyte replacement drink, like Gatorade or Powerade. Even those that recognize the need for protein like Accelerade, combine with 4x as much carbohydrates than protein.
Here is the home-made low carb Gatorade recipe:
Artificial Sweetener equivalent of 10 tbs. sugar (5/8 cups or 120 grams)
3/4ths tsp Morton Lite salt (4.2 grams)
1 package of unsweetened Koolade mix for flavor
2 liters Water
Commercial Low Carb Electrolyte Replacements:
Tablets:

Drinks
Ultima Replenisher – Ultima Replenisher is a natural sports drink with zero sugar. It contains a full complement of electrolytes, not just a ton of sodium. Ultima also contains complex carbs for energy, water-soluble vitamins and vitamin enhancers for day-to-day health maintenance, and antioxidants to protect body systems from free radicals (toxins).

Dr Stephen Phinney noted the importance of Sodium and Potassium in his study. (http://www.nutritionandmetabolism.com/content/1/1/2)
Note: photos from my running of the 2007 Des Moines Marathon are at the conclusion of the video. I used Ultima Replenisher as my electrolyte replacement during that race.

Here is one of my favourite healthy treat recipes High protein ice cream!
Ill mix the following in the blender:
1 cup of egg whites
10-20 frozen strawberries depending on the size (you can also add in other frozen fruit of your choice)
2-3 scoops of vanilla whey protein
2 tablespoonfuls of Splenda
Blend it up until it has a consistency like frozen yoghurt. Youll most likely have to stop and stir up the frozen fruit a couple times to get it to mix well because it is so thick.
Give it a try and then post a comment to let me know how you like it.
