Crystal light

[Blossum]

I am going to start induction but I am afraid I cannot live without Diet Coke or Cystal light. I know now I drink them mostly at night to ward off hunger on all of the low fat diets and semi-diets I have dne.

Do I really have to wean off of Nutrisweet and caffeine to lose weight? Or, is it that they cause hunger pains.

Re: Crystal light

aspartame is really bad for you, you should read up on some of the articles published. Also, diet coke and crystal light are known for causing stalls.

Re: Crystal light

I've only been here for a week and a half, so who knows if I could be losing more, but I lost 5 lbs the first week and so far my second week I am another 5 lbs down. I drink a diet coke with my lunch every day. However, I am going to do extended induction for 2 weeks and limit myself to 1 on Sat and Sun only and if I lose more during that will probably be sold. I know people who have been drinking aspartamme since it existed with no other medical problems, but I'm not one to go for the organic and all natural foods either... I think the caffeine and aspartamme thing is mostly because it causes stalls. A "to each her own" type of thing?
