crystal lite while dieting

[BeasterUSN]

wylers is just as good and way cheaper. Just some food for thought.

. Actually the sodas are worse than crystal lite because of the carbonation.

why is that sassy? is there something detrimental about carbonation?

carbonation is bad for you it takes place of oxygen in your blood makes you more tired.

so essentially does carbonated water (pelligrino) have the same effect?

There's argument about the phosphates interfering w/ your body's ability to process protein too.

Its crazy.

Here's another way to think of stuff in water when you are dieting, esp for competition. Your body can use water as is, correct? Coffee, soda, crystal lite, all are water-based but your body has to do some processing on them to handle the stuff you mixed in, so not optimal. My trainer actually calls anything a "meal" that requires processing to assimilate it. This is not optimal when you are trying to get yourself down to famine-dry for a competitoin.

if it wasn't for crystal lite i would be dehydrated. i can't put down two gallons of water but i can of rasperry iced tea. its got 15 cals per quart no sugar, its like drinking water essentially

although a newbie on here, i too have found over the long haul that you need to avoid sodas, and drinks from concentrate in order to cut up....and that being said i found that the crystal light lemonade made it much easier to avoid the other drinks as it gave me another option as opposed to flavourless water everytime you need a drink.

Is there any web site or place that I can order Crystal Lite from that would ship to UK/Ireland?
