Thank you everyone for your replies. I’ve been leery to try and seems everyone agrees not the way to go. Hope everyone has a good day! 🤗

Gatorade Zero ( NO Sugar ) helps me a lot. Replenishes electrolytes, energy, fluids, and keeps your kidneys flushed out. Along with a lot of good old water.

I would only add: folks seem to be afraid of sugar. So they drink unsugared drinks or foods. Sugar isn't good when overused as in multiple cups of coke or sweets. Sugar is actually very low in calories. And it also relieves food cravings that diet drinks do not. No food cravings. No overeating. I have noticed people use the non sugar message to rationalize their consumption of drinks. I suspect diet drinks are one reason we have so many overweight folks.

Energy drinks are very bad for the heart. A protein drink is much better.

Once in awhile I will drink a Gatorade if I have been working in the garden. If I am really dragging butt I will add a Boost or Ensure as an afternoon snack. Most of the time an apple works to give me energy though. 🥰
