Question:
I can only get in 64 oz of water daily if I drink it in the form of Crystal Light ...

I absolutely love Crystal Light Peach Tea, but now I'm getting worried because it's not caffeine free. Anyone else drinking this and still losing?    — [Anonymous] (posted on February 17, 2002)

I love CL's peach tea too, have you tried Snapple's? Yum! I have been drinking both :) almost from the begining and am still loosing. My doc at BTC told me to wait two weeks after my surgery and be sure to get in 64 ounces of liquid daily until then.

I started out a light weight so i knew my wieght would come off slower, i dont think it has anything to do with the crystal light. e-mail me if you want to know any more. [email protected]

I think I have seen this before, and I do believe that the amount of caffiene is very, very small- and I think that information is on their website (check database cause I am not 100% sure). Also, I do know that it does have calories- so be sure to add that in if you are tracking on fitday.com. I am only concerned (for myself specifically) of the aspartame. I drank a lo-cal, generic, non- carbonated orange flavored drink, sweetened with aspartame from day 1- for my first entire year out and I truly believe that it increases my appetite. I have been on water (I keep it in the fridge, just like a mixed drink so it is really cold) for year two and I tend to think I get more "satisfied" on it. Just my two cents... be aware of it and see if it happens for you.
