Hey guys, I'm workin' it! But I have a question. Is Crystal Lite okay? If you don't know what it is, it is a kool-aid type of drink mix sweetened with aspertame. There is another one with Splenda. Both have 0 cals and 1 carb per glass.

By the way, I think I GAINED 1 pound since starting, but I'm not freaking out. :tongue:

I use crystal lite all the time--I like to make a protein shake with the " classic orange" plus protein powder ( and water! lol) tastes like and orange julius. I WISH i could get the one with splenda!!!! use that if you can get it. I have the to go packs at work--the little tubes you can add to bottled water, and portein powder to make up a snack shake if I feel peckish in the afternoon! very convenient

I also use koolaid--the unsweetened kind--plus splenda. ( this also makes a nice jello--use the koolaid, splenda, Plus unsweetened gelatin--another way to avoid aspartame which you should whenever possible) check out and see if your stores are carrying the new splenda packs--the ones meant to add to "koolaid" cuts back on the carbs!
