What can I drink?

bennett · 05-17-2005, 09:35 AM

Hi.. new to the board.

I did atkins before and lost 40 in 4 months ( 3 yrs ago)... felt good and swore I'd never gain it back..

Well...I'm back to the same...I started LC a few days ago.. but I quit all soda pop 8 months ago with no change. I'm over my diet coke habit now and only drink water.

What can person drink ?.. we don't have diet rite cola arond here and I don't want to drink cola anyway. What about crystal light or something.

I need somethng to takle the boredom out of just drinking water. Water is great and I love it.. there has to be something else.

thanks

Herbal Iced tea? (I love iced Peppermint, and Green Jasmine tea)...the new flavored waters?

How about ice tea?

DH drinks water, unsweetened iced tea, flavored seltzer water, crystal light lemonade. I stick to water or mostly diet coke.

Also, Diet Coke now has a splenda version.

Tell me please that the crystal light is ok on atkins...

I thought it had aspertame or something similar to replicate sugar..

You can buy the regular suff for around 25cents a packet and sweeten it yourself with splenda instead of sugar.

crystal light is made with aspertame (at least the canadian version is) so it is technically a no-no...in my case, if i drink/eat products containing aspertame i will stall, so i hold off of these until i am at a lower weight and am satisfied with losing at a slower pace or want to hold a plateau (want my body to catch up with the loosening skin!).

i drink diet orange crush, it is made with splenda. with a cold and sorethroat i have caffeine free herbal teas (summer berry by tetley is one of my favorites) and the diet crush because i cannot stand how water tastes when im sick.

Fruit2O(fruit 2 oh) is a flavored water that is sweeten with splenda. It's great and if you are craving water but hate the blah taste you'll love it.
