Help, I miss my Crystal Light!!!

[TitianWasp]

Ok, so I cut out the Crystal Light (and diet coke, diet fresca, diet whatever) because of the freaky dizzy headaches I was getting. 6 weeks into it I could no longer attribute those to Atkins Flu. I suspect that they were aspartame flu.

I don't much care for water. I drink my requirement begrudgingly. Please, is there a splenda-sweetened lemonade or iced tea anywhere? Or a splenda soda?

Thanks, all, in advance.

The answer is yes.

Diet Rite soda is sweetened with Splenda and is caffeine free. Waist Watchers is too.

Pre-made/bottled Crystal Lite is sweetened with splenda - but the powdered stuff, as you know, is made with aspartame. ( Doesn't make sense, does it?!)

Pepsi One is also Splenda sweetened as is Diet Cheerwine (if you can get it in MA).

If I remember correctly, though, you need to get all your water plain, not as part of a drink, so make sure you're still drinking all the water. Also, daily Splenda intake is limited, so be careful with how much you have.

I know here that Diet Orange Crush and Crush Cream soda are sweetened with Splenda. also I think Nestea diet iced tea is as well.

also I noticed recently that walmarts generic brand of pops, Great Value it's called here, are now sweetneed with a blend of ace-k and sucralose (splenda)

Just watch out for unwanted ingredients on the labels - Validrouge found that her iced tea had the dreaded high fructose cane sugar in it!!

Re: Help, I miss my Crystal Light!!!

Got this from some other site, not sure if these are all still made or where to buy them other then online. I've never tried the Sobe Lean teas but I've seen them around so you could probably find them pretty easily. I've had the various Hansen flavors and they are pretty decent, though my personal favorite is the Diet Rite tangerine. As a former Diet Coke addict I find the Diet Rite Cola pretty nasty, though perhaps thats because my tongue still has the idea of Diet Coke as being what a cola should taste like =)

Re: Help, I miss my Crystal Light!!!

Omigosh - thanks everyone! I picked up some grapefruit diet waist watchers last night, though haven't tried it yet. I have half a case of diet fresca in my fridge and it kills me to waste it, so I have been having one per day, but it still makes me feel funny.

It seems like everything affects you more on low carb. Alcohol, advil and especially aspartame.
