Crystal light: good or bad?

AmyMahan2016

So what is you guys opinions on crystal light? I bought popsicle maker from the dollar store and started making crystal light popsicles. They are 4 oz. popsicles so they are only 2.5 calories a piece.

some will say there's no worries, and they regularly transfuse crystal light into their blood because it helps weight loss and the package doesn't say not to, and other will say that anything that you can't grow or kill on your own is the devil and must be shunned.

most folks take the reasoned approach that anything is okay in moderation, and as long as you're not taking in 32 of your 4 oz popsicles in a day, it's all good. I drink 32-48 ounces of crystal light-like drink mixes, and I seem do do okay with it. as long as you're not taking away from more nutrient-rich foods and are making your macros and micros, it's just fine to have your popsicles.

Anything is moderation is fine, but I'm not a fan of the fake sweeteners, so I avoid things like that.

Anything that helps you reach your goals is good.

I'm in the "everything in moderation" camp. I try to steer clear of packaged foods and eat a whole foods diet, but low/no calorie drinks are my weakness. I limit them to 1 per day and I'm fine with that.

Crystal Light is great its only 5 calories if I want lemonade instead of water. It also doesn't have a funny after taste that some other artificial sweeteners do.

I don't like artificial sweeteners.
I don't use it.
Bloated me and made me crave sugar when I did use it.
Thats just my opinion.

Try it.

If you survive you're good to go.

If not, well, it's not really going to matter.

Its the only one I can drink! Things like propel zero give me headaches but crystal light doesn't.
