Is Crystal Lite ok to drink with JC? I drink 3 16.9oz plus a diet soda with dinner. Am I getting enough water?

You're supposed to drink 8 oz. glasses of water. No, the diet soda doesn't count as water. So, you need to drink another 16 oz Crystal Lite or another 2 8oz glasses of water or other clear drink (not soda).

Bernice,
The more water, the better. In fact, the more water you drink, the more your body will start to crave it. It's a very healthy cycle! I try and get 100 ounces in a day. Good luck!

Of course Crystal Light is OK to drink on JC and yes, you CAN count it as part of your water. This drink doesn't contain anything that will cause a problem for you. These are the nutrition facts from http://www.kraftfoods.com/crystallight/mai...duct=4300097199
If putting Crystal Light in your water will encourage you to drink more water, put the Crystal Light in your water! It does no harm whatsoever!

Now I also want to encourage you to try to drink some plain water with lemon which will help your body to release water weight. I like to drink Pelligrino sparkling water or Perrier sparkling water. Try to have some sparkling water instead of diet soda with your dinner and I think they will help you break the diet soda habit! But in the end, if you can't, at least drink the equivalent of 8 eight once glasses of water (including the water with the Crystal light) per day.
Wishing you all the best!

Yes on the crystal light and no on getting enough water. You should get a minimum of 64 ounces a day and the more you drink the better!!!!

Thank you all for replying. I started drinking 4 16.9oz of Crytal Lite. That's 67ozes. I'll try to drink more.
Bernice

WOW I didn't know that Crystal light counted for your water!
I've been drinking around 2 16.9 oz, plus 1-2 Diet Pepsi's, Dr. Peppers or Cokes, AND shooting for 64 oz water.
I have a dfficult time sitting through a 3 hour rehearsal with no breaks. The liquid goes right through me!

AstroBarbie...Congrats on your weigh loss

another thing you can do with the crystal light is make popsicles!!! Makes a yummy very very low calorie snack and counts as water!!!!!!

Could you post the recipe for the cystal lite popcicles?
Bernice

Just make the crystal lite as normal and then you can get the popsicle molds. They are usually a tray of about 6-8 and they come in a little tray. Just fill them put the lids on and freeze. You can probably find the molds at walmart or kmart. If not google them. I love the fruit punch and also the lightly lemon in a popsicle.
