This may sound like a stupid question but I haven't been feeling well the last few days and when I'm sick I love to have a Neo-Citron before I crawl into bed. It just occured to me after I had one last night that they must be packed with sugar! It really is the one thing that makes me feel better when I'm not well though, do you think it will have much of an effect on my weight loss efforts?

    I've been drinking a cup of neo citron every night for the past couple nights cos i don't feel great. I'm sure there's lots of sugar, but right now, I'm more concerned with feeling better and getting a good night sleep. I'm still eating well, and I'll get back into it when I feel better! :drinker:

    Thanks, I'm glad to know I'm not the only one feeling this way right now. It's funny I know I could take a pill and not have the same worries about the sugar but there is something so comforting about a cup of neo-citron....

    a neo-citron is a medicated hot lemon drink for when you have a cold, knocks me right out and it's very soothing.

    aha! It's like a Thera-Flu (which tastes nasty, but knocks you into the middle of next week)

    FYI.
    Neo Citran can have between 50-80 calories.

    One site I saw mentioned they contain 20 grams of sugar which times 4 = 80 calories of sugar .

    the most amazing hot drink in the world. you are only so lucky to get sick and get to drink it. i like their lemon better than their cherry, but i could drink both all day, it clears you right up and makes your chest feel all warm and amazing.

    Thanks for the info, I know it's a lot of sugar but with very few calories is it going to make a huge differnce in my efforts? If I count it in my calories?
