Help! Sports drinks?

Howdy to all


My DH and I are about 6 weeks into SBD and on phase II for the last 4 weeks.  DH has lost 26# and I have lost 13# woooohooooo! We are thrilled to be learning how to eat well and retrain our bodies to what is healthy and what is not.  We have made mistakes along the way, but this is a forgiving program and easy to correct when we goof!


We even traveled for over a week and ate in restaurants and both lost another pound while doing that so we are truly excited!  No sense of deprivation at all!


Question:  DH plays golf daily and we live in rural AZ where is it still in triple digits so he sweats a lot!  He used to drink gatorade on the golf course to replenish his electrolytes but gatorade is loaded with corn syrup so that is out.  We did find Fruit2o which has no sugar and claims to be a hydration liquid with electrolytes .  No fat either. Does anyone have any suggestions as to what he can use to replace lost electrolytes while on the golf course?


Many thanks and good luck to all

Sports drinks are not allowed on any phase due to added sugars.

Crystal Light makes a "Hydration" formula that has electrolytes and is sugar-free. It comes in the To Go packets that you mix into bottles of water and it comes in Lemon and Berry. I like the Lemon best and use it almost every day when I go to the gym (or to help rehydrate on Sunday mornings after a few too many glasses of wine on Sat night LOL!) Here's what it looks like:
