I was alarmed by how much Crystal Light I was drinking...close to a gallon a day. I realized that is a LOT of aspartame. I'm down to one cup per day (strictly so I can get Miralax down). I am down 2 more lbs without changing anything else in my die****er day and night now.

There is something called "Crystal Lite Pure" that has no artificial sweeteners. That's what I drink when I drink Crystal Lite.

Beware of that. I was drinking that, and then I realized it was 30 calories per serving! I about died.

That is sweetened with sugar. What is the calorie count on it and how much do you drink?

I really want to do this. I'm at about 40 oz a day of CL. That leaves about 60 oz of plain water. For some reasone plain water makes me kinda queezy. And if it's not ice cold, forget it. I also know that's too much CL, but right now that's a battle I'll postpone for later.

Have you tried using the crystal lite squeezes? For me regular water kills my stomach, but just a few drops of the squeeze changes the water enough. It takes me weeks to get through one of those bottles.

I've tried the Mio stuff and didn't like the taste. That was a while back when it first came out. I'll give the CL drops a shot, thanks.

I'm not a fan of most flavors. But, the Berry Sangria is great.
