hi,

Some people react negatively to artificial sweeteners especially aspartame. I was addicted to it for a long time before and I know that any time I have even a little bit it can cause cravings for me. I would personally stay away from it.

Default Hi

I drink it here and there, but I've noticed if I spend days having it I have some pretty awful headaches. Trying to just stay away from it now.

I drink it too, and I've had no craving problems at all. In fact, I find the lemonades to be appetite supressing. It almost seems... thick? Hard to explain. "The drink that eats like a meal." Heh heh.

You could try avoiding artificial sweeteners for a while, then try them and see if it makes you feel any different. Chances are it won't. Even if they do cause some craving, I think it's better to have something tasty and *enjoy* it if it will help you "stick to the program." Water and decaf gets pretty d~mn boring.

Cheers!

Personally I haven't had a problem with it. Crystal Light is okay - but I really prefer diet Dr. Pepper.

I avoid aspartame. I've just heard too much negative about it. I prefer to use Splenda and if I'd want a lemonade, I may choose to drink Kool Ade with splenda.
