I just left Wal-Mart where I was comparing Crystal Light and the Wal-Mart "Great Value" Brand. I did not realize that Crystal Light has 5 calories in it! Good news the other is zero calories. I have been drinking Crystal Light off and on throughout the last few months not realizing it is not on the plan.

Just a warning/reminder

Crystal Light is allowed, according to the Quick Start Guide.

In the Quick Start guide, it does mention “non caloric beverages" (i.e.) crystal light. So I was also a little confused about it as well. My health advisor said that it was okay, but I guess it’s a little contradicting to the book. So I don't really know. But I know its yummy!

Crystal light, although not totally non caloric, is very low caloric. It is allowed, but remember, you want to have as much of your water as pure water.
As we lose weight, our fat cells shrink and as they do, they release all of the garbage that they have stored up. Pure water is the best thing to take in to rinse these impurities away. When we add more stuff to our bodies (like artificial sweeteners), it slows this cleasing process.
So, yes, feel free to have some crystal light, just try to make sure you get as much pure water in as you can. I try for at least 64 oz of pure a day and then flavored water or coffee after that. The more pure water, the better.

I tried both brands, Walmart and also Crystal Lite, and I go with the zero everything across the board product, as well. Why not?!
