I heard that the aspartame in crystal light stores body fat, in which making you gain weight.
I drink about 4 bottles of it a day so I can get my water I need. Also, I'm dieting and exercising. I'm attempting to lose about 10 lbs.
Is drinking Crystal Light sabotaging my weight loss goals?

yea the whole advertising campaign for crystal light is that it has low calories...I think 5 per serving, so it's like drinking flavored water. But what they don't tell you (as you found out) is that some of their products do contain aspartame. The crystal light bottles, however, do not have aspartame, instead it uses splenda. So you may want to use that instead.

Yes. Aspartame is not good for you. Drink water if you need hydration. Limit your calorie intake to just a little less than your exercise regime needs and look at the KIND of carbs you are taking in. Slow release ones are better for you than quick.

i can't say for certain but i believe it possible. aspartame also does a number of other bad things to you that would make weight gain seem minor. if you want flavored water, add some lemon or lime juice. pretty boring i know but it's better than having aspartame in your system.
While it is well-known that aspartame contains phenylalanine and is unsafe for those born with phenylketonuria, research has also indicated more recently that aspartame can be implicated in other public health issues and holds serious health risks.

I have even heard that Aspertame makes you eat more. It causes the mouth to dry out, and then a person has a tendency to not only drink to prevent the dryness, but eat as well. I am dieting as well, and staying away from artificial sweeteners when I can. I know I can't get away from them completely. Good luck with your diet.

man made sugars are much extra durable for you physique to digest by using fact they're man made. Aspartame is know to reason a chemical reaction on your physique forming formaldehyde, that's embalming fluid and is then saved on your liver. it rather is rather undesirable for you and could make you benefit weight rather than lose. you're extra suited off eating a lot of water, it rather is going to help suppress your urge for foodstuff and in simple terms attempt to consume extra end result and vegetables as a replace of alternative intense calorie snack meals.

No, Crystal Light has no calories. You may want to look at the other times you're consuming for caloric intake, fats, carb..etc.
