I need your opinion girls!

I LOVE Crystal light!! I like water too but Crystal light iced tea is awesome! I know there's not a lot of calories in 1 glass but do you think that I shouldn't buy any since it is soooo tempting...? Should I just drink plain water?

Thank you!

It seems like there are a lot of other things we could drink that'd be a lot worse than Crystal Light, so I'd tend to say it's fine! I love it, too--especially the Raspberry Iced Tea and the Peach Iced Tea. However, I drink a lot of water too, and have Crystal Light more occasionally. I wouldn't drink the CL exclusively, but in my opinion it doesn't hurt anything!

I also like crystal light. I used to be hooked on it. I think plain water is always better then anything else, but I agree with Jen that there are a lot of other things that are worse then CL like soda or sugary juices.

Hey, girls. I was wondering... can you count any other beverages as water? For example, iced tea? It consists mainly of water, and I don't add any sugar or sweetners to it. I was just curious. I still drink my fair share of water...

I've always been tempted by Crystal Light, too. Never bought any, but it sounds great. Sacha, I'm like the rest, I think you could make a much worse choice!

Take care,
Jina

I love Crystal Light also, but sometimes I am too lazy to make it...sad, huh? I usually drink Turkey Hill Diet Ice Tea (i think it's a Pennsylvania thing) which has zero calories.

Jina - On weight watchers you can count diet caffenine free soda, juice and milk as a water. I guess you can count ice tea.

I don't know whether Cystal Light counts as water or not. I stopped bringing any drinks into the house in an attempt to drink more water. At first it was a struggle but after a couple weeks I stopped missing diet drinks and such. Now all I drink at home is ice water. However, if you need some flavor variety, I would think Crystal Light would be a good choice compared to the alternatives.
