beautifuldiva 22 Posted May 31, 2012 Hey everyone! I absolutely hate the taste of Water, so i use crystal light. Is it ok to mix it in with my water everyday or should i take breaks from it? If not any advice to make it taste better? Thanks in advance for your support. [= Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kimmy*custis 276 Posted May 31, 2012 If that is what it takes...do it. I only like Water when it is ice cold and it doesnt stay that way when we can only take sips. I have about 10 different flavors of crystal light so I dont get tired of one flavor. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tonibugg 64 Posted May 31, 2012 My doc told me I could use Propel as well.. I HATE crystal light!! I don't like the aspertame flavor or after taste it has. Propel grape is my favorite but all of them are good =) 2 MinaT and rodswife reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RawrrAshleex3 137 Posted May 31, 2012 I hate Water tooooo!!!! and my liquids have to be ice cold, i cant do warm or hot! I use flavoring stuff, or drink low cal G2, 0cal Sobe Lifewater, bai5 (0sugars/carbs/5cal anti oxidant drink from 7-11), etc. throw em in the freezer, or in a blender with some ice to make a slushy, and am going to try putting some in ice cube trays with a tooth pick. Any way you can get your liquids in.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kimmy*custis 276 Posted May 31, 2012 I also only use 1/2 of a packet, it seems too sweet if I use the whole packet. I also have tried the Wal-Mart brand of the packets...they are good too, and cheaper! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I use two packets for my entire 64 oz. I have a big Water bottle that can hold my entire Water intake. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MinaT 669 Posted May 31, 2012 Sobe Lifewater 0 calories still has carbohydrates in it, so I was told not to drink it. Propel Zero has 0 carbohydrates so it's probably a better choice. Black Cherry is pretty good as is Cranberry Lime. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
alliegb3 112 Posted May 31, 2012 It's ok to use crystal light... Unsweetened tea... Propel.... sugar free Gatorade. Just keep it in Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lsereno 2,525 Posted May 31, 2012 When you have to sip slowly. a trick for keeping your Water icy cold or hot is to use a well-insulated travel mug as a pitcher and a teeny cup (shot glass works well) as your drinking cup. Just keep refilling the small cup as you sip. The Contigo cups do a good job of keeping liquids warm/cold. Lynda Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thanks for the tip lynda. You look amazing btw. [= -d'andra Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
3lilrams 37 Posted June 1, 2012 I make a 2 gallon jug of Crystal Light Decaf Tea mixed with the CL Lemonade. I drink 2 glasses of that a day, then I still get in 2-3 bottles of ice Water. I don't get my daily calories in, is my big issue. I am 3.5 months out, and I only get about 500 calories a day, because I simply am never hungry, and I can't force myself to eat. So, I basically live off water, CL, and Unjury.< /p> Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
