I have never had Crystal Light before, but today I noticed that they had a pink lemonade version, so I picked some up.

Here's my question. If I drink some of this, how should I drink water in conjunction.

I usually drink 120 oz. of water per day, so I am not sure whether I should subtract the Crystal Light from the total amount I should drink (i.e. if I drink 16oz of crystal light, should I only have 104 oz of water)?

I know that the rule is you should have it in addition to you 64oz. of water, but I am always well above that level. I don't want to have TOO many liquids.

I think you probably drink so much that I wouldn't worry about using Crystal Light for some of it.

I agree with Robin. I would count it as part of your 120 ounces. I drink anywhere from 100 - 128 ounces of water a day and I just recently discovered the peach tea crystal light and have a 20 ounce bottle of it as one of my waters - just to change it up a bit.

Enjoy!

Hey Manly ~ I would subtract it from the 120 oz. I doubt your body actually needs more than that.

Keep in mind Crystal Light has aspartame, which isn't that helpful for weight loss. I drink the CL Sunrise, but only on a limited basis.

There's a brand out there called 4C that has lemonade (I just bought it a couple days ago), they sweeten with splenda.

Well, it's not something that I drink that often. Maybe once every day or two.

Crystal Light in the ready to drink bottles contain Splenda. Just thought you'd like to know.

I drink the Walmart brand that you plop right into your 16oz bottle of water, and I drink like 5 a day. I WISH it was sweetened with splenda, but it does not. I would not drink enough water otherwise- and somewhere I read NON CALORIC bev., so that is just me.

How are you Manly?

[falisamarie]

Non caloric beverages are fine and they do keep you hydrated while on Medifast but they do not aid in weight loss like plain water does. I think that a couple a day is fine.
