I drink crystal light all day I really don't like plain water. I was just curious if anyone else has been drinking this too.

I've been drinking tons for years, no problems thus far.0

OMg, that stuff makes my tummy ROLLLLLLLLLL...........as in...BAD roll.....lol....but hey, if it doesnt bother you, get it in however you see fit!0

I drink that and other zero cal, no sugar, water flavorings. Can't see that it is harming a thing and actually I wouldn't be drinking as much water if it wasn't for those!!0

I drink Crystal Light and Mio liquid both--I have no problems. When I was going to the gym (once upon a time) my trainer told me that it was ok to drink if it meant I was getting in all my water for the day!0

Not a fan of crystal light but I love 4c light to go no sodium or calories.
They come in Iced tea, pink lemonade & Lemonade,..I love them so good!
I have about 2 a day.0 -
I also don't drink plain water and never have. Crystal Light helps me make sure I'm getting all the fluids my body needs.0

I like crystal lite and definitey use it to punch up water, but PLEASE keep in mind that an 8 oz glass has 5 calories in it. While that doesn't seem like so much, it makes a full 16.9 oz water bottle add ten calories, and depending on how many of THOSE you consume in a day, it could add a small chunk of calories to your diet.
Other really awesome alternatives are snapples and ocean spray water-bottle-to-go! Try them, the flavors are really good.
I am in LOVE with unsweetened teas, by the way. They add virtually no calories. And if I really need a good caffeine boost, I DO grab a diet soda once in a while, but I try to stay away because I don't want the dehydrating effects, especially on a heavy work out day. Also, Crystal Lite makes an "energy boost" product with Wild Strawberry flavor. That's pretty good and gives me a little added kick in the morning without going overboard in caffeine like diet sodas!
Hope the info helps!0 -
I drink about a quart and a half of Crystal Light Green Tea with Raspberry every day.0

My friend that's a dietitian said generally speaking as long as it doesn't have caffeine it's okay.0

I drink Crystal lite, but not in the place of 8 glasses of water. Mainly with dinner.0

I drink them too, I try to have one packet with 32 oz (one jug) of water then I have one or two jugs of just water. I like them. They have such great flavours now.0

If you like crystal lite you might want to try MIO its has made my transition to drinking nothing but water so easy.0

I drink diet soda all day and I haven't croaked yet.
:laugh: I think I would croak if I didn't drink diet soda.0 -
I used to do the crystal light thing because I too cannot drink plain water....then I discovered Nestea (not sue if just in Canada or not) with sucralose and OMG are they good...lemon green tea is my favourite.....after drinking them for awhile, I found a package of crystal light and thought I may as well use it and holy cow was it ever sweet compared to the Nestea ones.....I had to dump it out.....0

We don't have Crystal Light or Kool Aid in Australia but when I lived in America I tried both. I got INCREDIBLY sick every time I tried it.0
-
I think all of you are the lucky ones.....so far I have lost weight without any artificial sweetners. I can't have them as they give me massive migraines. But if not for that I would probably be having crystal light too!!!!!0

I like the Crystal Light PURE line. There's only a few flavors but they aren't sweetened with splenda or aspartame and don't have artificial colors.0
-
mio is awesome!0
-
I'm drinking those right now, but I am trying to get off the artificial sweeteners. So after these are gone I was just going to get some of the regular sugar low calorie drinks.0
