Crystal Lite, good or bad?

I have a difficult time drinking enough water, even more so when it's plain. Is Crystal Light good, bad? I use the little water bottle size packets, which I believe are 5 calories/each, but even then, if I can manage to drink 5-6 bottles a water through out the day, it's still LESS calories than drinking soft drinks.

    I love Crystal Light! Can't drink plain water.... I get the smart water the 33.8 fl OZ and then put the crystal light in it and it calms dow the strongness of the crystal light. Try the Green Tea Rasberry, Green Tea Peach Mango, and the Wild strawberry is good. I make a pitcher of Peach green tea at home, and drink in it instead of lemonade and cokes at home... I also think the more water your drinking with it, the less the calories seem.

    I drink Crystal Light all the time. It's how I meet my daily water goals. I usually drink 2-3 bottles a day though. Crystal Light also has a flavor called Hunger Satisfaction. It's strawberry banana and it keeps me full. I'd say it's a good idea, but i'm not an expert.

    I think you will find mixed reviews on this.... I personally, use CL all the time, as I don't like plain water... and I can get all my water in if I put CL in it!

    However, make sure you read the package carefully, because it's misleading when it says 5 calories when it's really 5 calories for 1/2 a packet!

    I loooove Crystal Lite but I hate the junk in it so I weaned myself off of it a few years ago. Now I put a dash of lemon or lime in my H2O instead. It's up to you....It tastes great and if you don't mind drinking what's in it, go for it.
