                                Following a carnivore diet leads to a significant decrease in carbohydrate intake, which causes the body to excrete more water and essential minerals. As a result, commercial sports drinks, including their sugar-free varieties, are generally incompatible with a carnivore diet due to their non-animal-based ingredients like sugars, artificial sweeteners, and additives. This guide explores why traditional sports drinks are not suitable and presents carnivore-compliant options for maintaining electrolyte balance and staying hydrated.
