Does Crystal Light count as water?

[Maurdan 2]

I love Crystal Light and drink it more than I drink Water. Is this ok? Or should I stick to plain water?

[edieparks 2]

Yes. Or it did for me. For some reason I lost my love affair for Water after banding. I drank only flavored water. I bet I could count on both hands how many glasses of H 2 O I have had this past year.

Yew betcha it does!! And thank goodness for that. I never drank Water before and now I drink 64 oz. a day. Lemonade is my favorite. I put it in the freezer and let it get all slushy. What a treat!!

ahyup! Some folks simply will not drink Water, I see this in the ER all the time. Crystal light or your store brand added to water counts as water input. I think Crystal light makes a super hydration mix now...

Thank Goodness it counts because I also lost my taste for h20. I love the Crystal Lite peach iced tea!

My favorite is the grape - YUMMY, makes me feel like a kid again!

I've discovered that Crystal Light (and lots of other brands) are way too sweet for me. So for a long time I didn't drink them. But now they have those "single serving" envelopes, and when I add them to 32 oz of Water it's PERFECT. My favorite is the Wild strawberry with added caffeine. :eyebrows:

The new fruit Punch flavor is great - but it is a little sweet. I add a bit more Water to tone it down. Good stuff though. And the Sunrise "Classic Orange" crystal light tastes like Tang to me. Good for an AM pick-me-up.

I love the fruit punch, but when I drink it a lot I get a headache.

[juliegeraci 7]

You know I was drinking a lot of the fruit punch too and was getting a lot of headaches. I stopped drinking so much of it and the headaches are gone. I wonder what it is about the fruit punch?

[Maurdan 2]

I haven't researched it, but I was thinking maybe it was the red dye?

Its probably the Artificial sweetener in it .

I cant drink any of the crystal light type drinks or anything similar to it.

Even sweet tea or anything w/ splenda, ect , I have chronic Migraines and the artificial sweeteners are horrid on my head. There is a sweetener my nutritionist told me about called Stevia . I have not tried it yet but I plan to its all natural and is suppose to work well . So i plan on getting it my next trip to the store. You might want to try that. Someone told me to try squeezing lemons and using stevia to make lemonade. The artificial stuff i just cant handle. Hope that helps
