I drink TONS of water...I agree I eat a little too many LC products, but I am on the go all day basically. I am at school from 9 to 3, and I work from 4 to 9, putting me away from my house and a proper fridge from 8 am to 9:30 pm. I have a little cooler, but it's hard to fit both lunch and dinner in there. When I am at home I never eat LC bars. I thought about celery ticks with cream cheese, but they are hard to tote around. They are messy. And I usually only have one or two diet rites per day. They don't have sodium, aspartame, or caffeine. They only thing in them that might be bad for LCing is the citric acid?
