Crystal Light

[LissyinTX 1]

I keep seeing people commenting on always drinking lots of crystal light. When I was growing up, I drank it all the time. I found that the more I drank, the more I ate. It gave me the munchies bad. Are there any other drink mixes that would work as well as crystal light but without the munchie attacks?

I'm not a big Gatorade fan, but they have a powdered mix - maybe that would be better?

thanks! I will look into that. I have never had a problem with gatorade, so it is def an idea.

I drink sugar-free kool-aid b/c Crystal Light gave me headaches. You might try this also.

Crystal Light is too sweet for me! I like Vitamin Water Zero and Decafanted Ice Tea.

Coolio, thanks everyone. I have been going over everything. I had taken myself off of everything to drink except Water with some tea thrown in back in October, but I don't want to solely rely on water afterwards.

My current favorite beverage is Diet, Caffeine Free Arizona Iced Tea. It comes in gallon sized containers that are typically 2 for $5 at the grocery store.

I recommend 2 different ones. I regularly use Propel packets but I also carry a couple of little MiO bottles with me. With the MiO you squeeze a shot into the Water so you can control your flavor better.

A friend of mine who had the bypass a few years ago swears in the MiO. I might just have to go get one. She loves it and you are the 2nd on to mention it to me. Thanks!

I am like you, but I've recently discovered Crystal Light "hunger satisfaction" (strawberry-banana) flavor... I've been pleasantly surprised in how non-munchie I feel!

I drink Lipton Diet Green Tea Citrus and it doesn't give me the munchies, but then I don't think Crystal Light ever did either.

The sweet taste triggers your body to release insulin which when the "sugar" never comes it triggers a need to eat to regulate your levels. You can try diluting it or add fresh squeeze lemons to their lemonade or grapefruit to their grapefruit flavor or orange juice in orange.

The propel flavors are pretty good, and Crystal Light has a raspberry flavor that has Fiber added. Its more on the tart side, and its the only flavor that I like. Target also has a raspberry lemonade in their brand that is really good, not too sweet at all!

Have you ever tried liquid Stevia? I have several different flavors I use. I use the lemon and orange the most for my Water. Just a dropper full and my water taste great. You can get it online or I've seen it at Whole Foods. I also have the rootbeer and vanilla cream too. I'm thinking of trying the chocolate raspberry on a vanilla Protein Shake to see how it will taste.

I use a splash of no sugar added juice to my Water - 8:1 ratio (8 parts Water to 1 part juice). My favorite so far is Ocean Spray No Sugar Added Grape juice.< /p>
