I have a hard time drinking water. I love Crystal Light though so I mixed some up to drink while at work. I knocked out 2 qts. in no time flat. I want to know if that goes towards my "water" consumption.

Tink~~I would like to answer you, but I honestly am not sure myself. I guess I will await the answer with you.

Tink,

Yes, I believe it does go towards your water consumption. It does add a few calories though........and, while I can't prove it.........I don't believe it has the same "cleansing affect" as pure water.

I hate plain water myself.......and, once in a while I will add some crystal light to my water. I have learned to drink gobs of plain water, and while it will never be my favorite drink, I know that is what is best for me.

Thanks Dean! I just wasn't real sure about how to count it. I did manage to drink 64 oz. of plain water today which was a real feat for me. I did manage to knock out 64 oz. of crystal light also so I am full up to here with liquid! Anywho thanks for replying and I am going to try to keep up the plain water consumption even though it is very hard!

Wow! I am impressed with you to have slurped down 64 ounces of wa-wa. Great GOing...

Yes, Crystal Light will count towards your water requirement.

Plain old water is ideal - it's the best for our body but for many of us, it is something we are not accustomed to drinking. I had to make it a HABIT to drink water. As time goes by, we begin to realize the benefits of drinking water and eventually it becomes our beverage of choice.

It's interesting to note that often times when people have a 'hunger' for something and they try to satisfy that 'hunger' by eating different foods – salty, sweet, savory, etc., it often turns out that we are just thirsty.

Caffeine is dehydrating so if you drink coffee or diet colas, be sure to drink some extra water – as general rule, for each cuppa coffee, have a cuppa wa-wa.
