Good?

Bad?


I'm thinking of replacing it with diet coke, maybe buying some propel as well.......of course with some plain water too.........


I was wondering about propel too, I think it would be healthier than driking 12 diet cokes a day....I mean damn I think I'm addicted to the stuff...

Crystal light contains aspartame, as does diet soda.
Propel has sucrose, which I believe is better than aspartame.

Either way, they're both artificial, but I'd go with Propel. Has added vitamins... whoopie.

I'd be more concerned with the 1200g of sodium you're taking in each day than artificial sweetners. But thats just me.

I drink the crystal light all the time.(actually I like the Wal-mart generics better, very literally the only reason i visit that store once a month). Its great for having the taste something sweet with no calories.

A lot of people like Jeremy Likeness and others around here will tell you - getting off the sodas will make you feel like a new person. They're fine in moderation (I think I might have a couple per week these days) but 12 per day is probably dragging you down and making you feel like crap.

Never tried propel. I get vitamins from foods and a daily supplement - I dont need it in my water. :cool:

Crystal Lite is a staple for me in masking the taste of certain supp's (like CEE for example).

Like it has been stated, soda in moderation won't harm progress much. I know that I used to drink probably 2-4 diet sodas a day (while at work, easiest thing to drink), but haven't worked in 3 weeks. I am starting back today, and hope to be able to drink only water. Since new years eve(including new years eve) , I have had 1 shot of tequila, 1 cranberry and vodka, and a half a can of diet coke, and the rest has been nothing but good ole H20. I can't say for sure that I notice a difference from when I was drinking soda, but I don't mind the taste of water at all, so I can drink it all day
