Low-carb thirst quenchers

In her latest "Low-Carb for Life" column, Dana Carpender provides some smart choices for low-carb rehydration: water, diet soda, sparkling water, Crystal Light, and herbal tea.

"Long before I went low-carb, I established a rule that continues to serve me well: Nothing that I drink to quench my thirst has calories," Carpender writes. "This meant that I didn't drink anything with carbs in it, either--so even when I was loading up on other carbs, I was spared the sugar in soda and juice. I shudder to think how much bigger I would have become had I been drinking carbs as well as eating them."
