As far as crystal light, I was ADDICTED to the stuff back in 2007. Seriously, addicted. I probably drank three of those little single serving packets a day... I am now totally sick of them. I can't even look at them any more. Not sure why, I guess I just OD'd. Anyway, I have to credit them with making me drink LOTS of water throughout the day and keeping cravings a bay. I would normally use half a packet for each water, I found an entire packet was way too strong...
Anyway, I'm now kind of weary of crystal light, I'm sure they're not good for you. If you can avoid them, I would probably do so.

Same experience here. When i started my weight loss journey two years ago and changed ordinary Coke with Coke Zero i was ADDICTED to the stuff.
Cut out all artificial sweeteners and sugar alcohols the past month or so, If I eat them now my body let's me know it dosen't agree with my choice - naussea, diarrea, stomach cramps etc.... on the bright side I don't crave them anymore either.
I usually just make some green tea, fill it on bottles and throw them in the fridge. Excellent craving knocker for me
