Does anyone know if you can get lucosade diet/light? I've found a light sports one but wondered if you can get the regular?

Isn't the idea of Lucozade to give you energy when you're ill?

I always associate Lucozade with being ill

It was when we were young. Now the adverts would have you believe you're WonderWoman if you drink it.

late seventies used to be advertised as Lucozade Aids Recovery, then Aids hit and that was quickly dropped

Lucozade is sugar and water. And some chemical flavourings. It is never going to be healthy.

There are two basic 'kinds' - Lucozde "energy" is fairly high cal, glucose based drink to aid sports recovery/fuel performance.

Lucozade "sport" is isotonic for when you need to replace fluids quickly - i.e. when you might become dehydrated.

I used to drink the latter a lot when I first had my ileostomy as it is a darn sight nicer than Dioralyte. I find now that I drink enough liquid not to really need it.

They are both have their purposes and are probably only 'unhealthy' if, like anything you over consume.

I prefer to boost my glucose post workout with sweets made of glucose - my current favourites are 'sour loops'. There is some research which suggests that spiking ones glucose post resistance training aids in muscle building/recovery, and it has also been suggested that this metabolic pathway aids fat burning (when in a calorific deficit, obviously). Hence the popularity of Harbos with muscle-types.

I didn't know haribos were popular with muscle types. Maybe that's why Shag loves them, apart from cola bottle one's taste.

There is only really cloudy lemonade, in lower sugar version, the average calorie count is 210 per 380ml bottle.

I used to drink lucozade original in a glass bottle with the orange plastic film wrapped around it.

It was originally formulated as a medicinal remedy, but now its a sports drink.

The name comes from 'glucose-ade' , the label specifically says 'not for replacing fluids lost by an upset stomach'.

There aren't any vitamins in any of these drinks. Sugar, glucose, co2, flavoring

Be better off with sugar free squash and a box of Centrum.. General vitamins, women's ones or age related ones..

Even the Vitamin waters brand aren't much good, and expensive!

After a good long walk or log chopping session I have milk .

When I used to play rugby they banned sports drinks , too much sugar and test have proved milk hydrates you quicker and has all the salts and vitamins you need

I have all those anyway, just fancied something else, anyway got the sports one, 50 calories a bottle and did what I wanted it to, not like I'm going to be living on the stuff, and anyway a little sugar occasionally does me good
