What is the reasoning behind zero calorie drinks?

I dropped a "zero" tablet into my water bottle today (I got it with a wiggle order; would have preferred Haribo).

You must have some suction power to get those fizzy crocodiles through the spout of your bidon

The purpose of such products is to replace fluid and electrolytes without taking in additional calories where they arent required. It is quite simple.

As for training before you have eaten, that would only burn more fat than carbs while you are running low on carbs having not eaten, it is common practice to do this to help with weight loss BUT it won't train the body to be selective in its fuel source at other times. When carbs are there, the body will use them, if they arent, it wont!

I don't see the sense for any "normal" person to train on an empty stomach. That's just crazy in my opinion.

("normal" = someone who isn't a pro or semi pro athlete).
