Becky replies,

That depends on you. I drink Diet Coke and it doesn't stall me. I drank
water (only) the first two weeks..but added back in the "fun stuff" later,
just to give myself a treat....it didn't hurt me, but it may you. Try it
out and see.

Try a week without...a week with and see if nothing happens when you drink
it. If not, don't worry about it. Atkins says not to use Equal...he didn't
like it and said it causes stalls and reactions in some people.

I've tried Crystal Light before, some flavors I do like. I buy it in powder
form, like the ones you mix yourself. Makes more, lasts longer. It does have
aspartame in it.

I was having allergies, then also stalled out on weightloss. So I dropped it
from my diet for a couple weeks, along with other food items. I added in one by
one the food and drink items I thought was causing a problem. I did add in
Crystal Light a week ago. So far, no problem, still losing weight. I drink 2
glasses of it a day. I like the Orange/Bananna/Strawberry flavored the best.

Also some of them have citric acid added to the drinks, adds the tartness to
it. I have read here that citric acid can also cause weight stalls.

So, just add it in for a few days, monitor what happens. It affects everyone
differently. I still cannot tolerate caffeine in any form. It causes sugar
cravings. I tried adding it back in, had some problems. So, caffeine to me is a
problem, to others not a problem at all.

I like crystal light a lot. Non carbonated, no caffeine, no sugar. Thats
the best combo for me! I can handle only the caffeine in tea and then only
during early daytime. After 4 pm I switch to decaf.

Instead of your daily water quota? No. In addition to your
daily water quota? Yes.

Or will it stall me?


The premixed bottles use splenda. Very low risk. The
powder uses aspartame. Medium risk.
