I found this at Yahoo! Answers!
SUGAR-FREE “SPORTS DRINK”
1 packet or container sugar-free drink mix (to make 2 qts)
1/4 tsp table salt
4 potassium tablets (99 mg each)
2 quarts water
Take about 1/4 cup of the water and put in a cup with the potassium tablets. Heat in the microwave until the water gets close to boiling. Stir to dissolve the tablets. Add the salt and stir.
Put the drink mix in a pitcher, add water, and stir until the drink mix is dissolved. Add the salt/potassium solution and mix thoroughly. Chill.
Per 8-oz serving: 5 cal, about 75 mg sodium, 50 mg potassium. ZERO POINTS.
If you’d like less sodium, use a 1/8-tsp measure, and do one level measure plus 1/2 of another. This will cut the sodium to about 55 mg/serving instead of 75. (FYI, 1/4 tsp of salt contains 590 mg sodium.)
This drink tastes just fine… it has the characteristic slight saltiness that one associates with the commercial sports drinks, but it’s not objectionable at all.

I would speak to my doctor because sorts drinks are high in sodium and are suppose to replace electrolyte levels and too much could cause heart problems. We do those drink mixes that are sugar free they are individually packaged and you just add them to a bottle of water. My son uses them 4 wheeling

I know of a product that is called Em-Pact. This pre-workout sports supplement is designed to help you increase your workout intensity and duration. It supports oxygen uptake, hydrates and reduces blood lactate levels, supplying nutrients to effectively use your stored carbohydrates and fats. Provides beneficial medium-chain triglycerides (MCTs) and fuel to let your body produce maximum energy. (This is different than glucose) The product is low glycemic, and does not cause an increase of glucose in the blood.
Please go to www.getyouwell.net, click on the flag of the country that you are from, under shop click on retail products, Em-Pact is on the bottom under sports supplements. There is a product information sheet in PDF format if you wish to read what is in the product.
I have taken this product, and workouts are great. It also reduces soreness. The taste is like lemon-lime Gatorade.
Please let me know if you would like to discuss this product.
