I have a hard time getting my water in everyday but since I've started adding Crystal Light I easily go over the recommended amount everyday. Is it bad that I'm not drinking any plain water or does it make a difference?

    Personally I don't like the stuff. But just a warning that it can be really harmful to anyone prone to headaches or migraines.

    I drink it all the time. Helps me get in my water and then some. But I do drink regular water too. Whatever works is what I say.

    Since I started my weight loss journey in Jan 2011, the only way I can get my water down is by having Crystal Light. Had no problems otherwise. And happy to say I lost over 100lbs. So I say go for it!!:drinker:

    Just today I started adding CL to my water and it has made all the difference. I am drinking far more than I was, peeing quite a bit and very happy with myself.
    I am using the Crystal Light Pure Fitness strawberry kiwi and it is very tasty. The benifit of drinking enough water compared to the nominal calories that are added as opposed to plain water really make it worthwhile.
  • Thanks for the replies. It's such a chore for me to drink even one glass of water so I'm going to stick to the Crystal Light.

    My urologist told me that drinking lemonade flavored CL changes the PH of your urine and helps to cleanse out the kidneys.

    I drink it everyday.

    Don't bother with the Margarita flavored CL. It is horrible, otherwise I use other flavors occasionally. Not all the time because I do like water.
