Crystal Light drinkers
 
Do you count your bottles of Crystal Light as part of your water intake? I just got the small individual packets & dump it into my 1L. I could easily drink 5 of those a day :)

I think it counts as water. I'm addicted!

But, then again, I easily drink 100+ ounces of plain water daily, too, so I'm not concerned about double-counting my drinks. I visit the ladies' room at LEAST every 40 minutes. I have a problem.

I love CL...but it does not love me :(
I loathe plain water....trying to find ways to spice it up.

I count it as my water intake. I love CL :0)

You could try plain iced tea, too. I love Lipton Cold Brew!

Yes, I count it as my water intake, CL is the only way I can drink water on a regular basis without gaging. I try to drink at least 8oz of plain water a day, usually when I'm working out, to try and train myself to like the flavor. Yet, I couldn't get all my water intake in each day if I didn't have CL. Hope this helps. :)

Yes, I count it as part of my water intake, but I do add those calories to my count.

LoveTamara 01-23-2011 05:16 PM

Me too, Count the calories and drink up :)

Mickeypnd 01-23-2011 05:55 PM

i don't drink CL but i do drink propel which is basically like CL but it goes in clear to your water.
but i do count it as my water intake, and i also drink plain water when i workout.
I just couldn't drink as much water without it....too plain. I think of it this way, at least im not downing diet coke like i used too. :D

ArcticFrogs 01-23-2011 05:57 PM

We tend to spike ours with vodka, so that's probably a fail >.<

However, I do drink at least 2L of plain water almost every day...

jab91864 01-23-2011 06:15 PM

I love CL but it doesn't love me... gas :(

I would count it toward my water...

jenn33082 01-24-2011 08:42 AM

I just bought some CL this weekend. On my first glass now..YUM!

Sum-another thing to try is adding some lemon juice and a packet of splenda to your water. Instant, calorie free lemonade!

I'll totally count it as water intake. I go through spurts where I just can't stand to drink plain water unless working out and then I start drinking too many diet cokes so CL and the above mentioned lemonade should get me through my current water strike.

mmel3283 01-24-2011 10:10 AM

I count it.


I'm addicted to the Raspberry Lemonade.

luposlipaphobia87 01-24-2011 10:38 AM

I love Crystal Light. I count it towards my water intake. I'm also one of those people who hates drinking water unless I'm exercising. CL is helping me break my Diet Pepsi habit.

Jenn, I really like the calorie free lemonade idea. I <3 Simply Lemonade, but there are a ton of calories in it for a small amount. I'll have to try it with splenda

Thanks everyone!! I got 4 bottles in yesterday - 3 CLs & 1 plain during working out.

Marianne - that is my FAVORITE flavor!

I drink Crystal Light in place of diet coke and I count it as water. But I am really trying to get away from flavoured water and train myself to just drink it plain.

i would like to start drinking more plain water but as of right now i dont see that happening. :)

You can by "water infusers" from food stores and from amazon. You put fruit or veggies in them and put them in a glass or pitcher of water for an hour or so. I've been wanting to get one. If you want to cut back on the fake sugars and stuff, this might be good for you. It's all natural!

drinkypants 01-25-2011 12:53 PM

I love CL raspberry lemon aid! My doctor suggested it as a way to get more water, so I personally count it as water intake.

surrendertolis 01-25-2011 10:30 PM

I love CL! Well, I drink generic versions. Haha, but yes I count it as water! I drink two pitchers of it a day. It's really the only way I get my water in every day. The tap water here isn't very good and I don't want to buy packs and packs of bottled water.

junebug41 01-26-2011 09:19 AM

I drink generic CL with club soda and defiitely count it towards my water intake. I only drink it at night and it has helped me cut back my soda intake overall, which is a big positive change for me.
