crystal lite while dieting

[lund]

I am 8 weeks out for a show and the person doing my diet said I can have crystal lite or diet coke untill I am 6 weeks out. I have been dieting for the last 5 weeks and have been only drinking water. My question is should I just stick to water or can I have the crystal lite.

It all depends how your body will react to it

why not just buy a couple lemons, some nutrasweet, and mix it in some ice water? there is something disturbing about crystal lite. maybe because it sounds like crystal meth. pure crap.

I take a single pack and mix it with 3/4 gallon of water.

I drink crystal light year round I got turned on to it when I did my very first show back in 97. I usaually drink it up till two weeks out then I switch to just distilled water the last two weeks. Crystal lite has no carbs Bro.

Isn't that essentially what it is?? Nutrasweet is a little suspicious to me. Though I still consume some seriousl amounts of diet coke. Crystal Lite is now w/ splenda.

Generally any of that stuff, up until 6-8 weeks out, is ok as long as you are flushing out your system w/ lots of water. Actually the sodas are worse than crystal lite because of the carbonation.

Diet Sodas also have alot of sodium in them, not good.

I killed that shit the whole time I dieted. I would sit down and drink a 2 liter bottle of diet rite at one time. I would help me feel full because of the carbonation. Not only that, it was sweet, and that was beautiful.
