Crystal Light

[littletexloser]

I'm on the 1st phase right now. Actually I started on it Tue. and cheated Thur. but am back full force. My question though is, can I have Crystal Light?? I usually put 2 of the tubs in a pitcher, fill it up with water and drink it as the days goes by. How many carbs would you count a 20 oz. glass for??

Thanks.

Re: Crystal Light

I'm looking at a bottle of Crystal Light made with Splenda. 0 carbs and 0 sugars. Is this still okay? I've held off on drinking anything but water and green tea and will continue unless Crystal Light is fair game...

Re: Crystal Light

Personally, I stay away from it. The powdered form of Crystal Light contains maltodextrin & aspartame. Both can stall your weight loss.

Re: Crystal Light

The bottled Crystal Light, which are sweetened with splenda are OK. However, keep in mind your 3 per day sweetener limit. Also, remember that Crystal Light doesn't replace water, only water counts as water when figuring your daily water intake.
