Crystal Light vs Water

**dcarnes3** · 09-25-2007, 05:51 PM

I was reading my box and it does have 5 cal for some reason i thought it didnt have any. I can drink crystal light all day but i have to make myself drink plain water so if anyone knows the difference and if its not good when your on a diet let me know.

After a while, plain water gags me as well ... I can drink it all day no problem, but when evening rolls around, I just gotta have a Diet Rite or Crystal Light or somethin' ... Plain water just don't cut it for me all day long ...

Denise, I think the only concern would be if you were sensitive to the artifical sweeteners like some people are. Ya know some people say too much of it isnt healthy...but who knows.

OK thanks i have been drinking one or two energy and then another flavor. I drink one crystal light then one just water and rotate like that all day. I am drinking at least 5 o 7 bottles all together between both.

Denise, as long as you feel ok about it and the artificial sweeteners dont upset your tummy or something like that then i guess its ok... im not a dietician though. ha ha

I don't have a problem drinking plain water all the time. Although if I neglect drinking enough water and my mouth is dry(ya know that awful side effect of the phen) I get a nasty taste in my mouth and then trying to drink water to get rid of it is tough.
Water with a slice of lemon works well also...that way you're not getting the artificial sweetners and such.
