Default Crystal Light?
okay guys I have a question; so I know that water is a very important part of any healthy living regimine BUT I seem to have a little trouble getting all my water in. I've bought some of those crystal light packets that you stick in water bottles and my question is if you add something like that to the water does it still count towards daily water intake? These packets are sweetened without sugar and have 5 or 10 calories apiece.

I count them as my water when I have them I usually dilute them to a 24oz bottle of water (I think each packet is two servings anyway)

I hate water! I like my water with sugar and flavor and that's kool-aid! So crystal light is a great substitute (cuz I'm sure kool-aid isn't on anybody's it plan!)

also keep in mind that most foods can count at least partly towards your water for the day up to about 20%. drinking too much water can actually be detrimental as it dilutes your body chemistry and electrolytes. just make sure you arent thirsty. once youre thirsty, youre dehydrated
