Re: Crystal Lite
I hope it's okay- that's the only way I can get my water in! I seem to be doing fine with it.

Re: Crystal Lite
Generally, WW says you can drink decaffinated beverages for 1/2 or your water requirement for the day. So, I would say if you are shooting for 8 glasses a day, 4 could be crystal light, but 4 should be straight water.
However, IMO, if you are not going to get the plain water in, then keep drinking the Crystal light. Try watering some of it down - some of the members in my meeting say they add a tiny bit, just to give the water a little bit of flavor.

Re: Crystal Lite
Try this new stuff called True Lemon. I posted about it on another thread. It's a good way to get lemon or lime flavored water without the sweetners and calories.

Re: Crystal Lite
be careful with CL- I used to drink tons of it and I was getting these really bad stomach aches- from too much fake sugar
I switched to water - and the same day my stomaches went away

Artificial sweeteners dehydrate you - so basically, drinking CL does the OPPOSITE of drinking water!

Yeah, and if you really want to freak yourself out, google artifcial sweeteners and dehydration together! 
They're just really bad for you
