Water is water whether or not you dump some flavoring in it. What's the
difference between eating a spoonful of CS power and drinking a glass of water and stirring that spoonful into the glass of water and drinking it? None once it hits your stomach.

Louise 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. Becky P. |

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. |

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. -- Regards, Evelyn (to reply to me personally, remove 'sox") |

announced in front of God and everybody: damn!! lol I have a hard time drinking water....so I was buying the singles packages and just dumping it into a bottle of water. Guess I will cut back. I was drinking 6 of these and about 2 bottles of just plain ole water. I drink a decent amount of water, but I supplement it with Crystal Light as well. Despite what some people like to say, water is water no matter what form it takes -- caffeine will stilmulate the bladder and make you urinate more often and yes, your kidneys will have to filter whatever sweeteners/flavorings, etc. are in your beverages. But water is water, and you're still hydrating. I can't stand to drink Crystal Light at full strength anymore, though -- it's just too damn sweet and too strong. I mix the Pink Lemonade flavor at 2/3 or even half strength and drink that. It's more cost effective that way, less cloying flavor-wise, and it helps me get plenty of water in during the day. Dawn |

Dawn Wow, I thought I was the only one who did that! The way they tell you to mix it, it IS too strong. I always make it much weaker and find it tastes better that way. -- Regards, Evelyn (to reply to me personally, remove 'sox") |
