Re: crystal light question

Crystal light (the powder) is made with aspartame. Crystal light the premade drinks in the bottles is made with splenda. The better choice is the premade in the bottle with splenda. If you want though, Walmart sells a brand 4C Totally Light that is a powder made with Splenda.

ONLY drink it after you've gotten the rest of your water down. Use it as a treat and count the sweetners PER SERVING (which is usually about a cup)

Re: crystal light question

I just wanted to highlight why Aspartame is not recommended or cautioned against. In Dr. Atkins patients, he noted that it caused weightloss stalls in 25% of them, and it can cause a cephalic insulin reaction as well. It's just something to be aware of when searching for diet products. I don't think your Induction period is messed or that you have to start over.

Like ValidRouge says, just make sure you get your water (64+ oz) before you start drinking something else.
