water drink thingy

So, since the first of the year I haven't had pop and like high sugar drinks/juices. But I've been having water with those packets of like flavor stuff. So, question, is that like cheating on the no pop/drinks/etc or perfectly within the realms of healthier?

packets of flavor stuff? Like crystal light? It's not healthy either, but I do have them on occasion.

like Mio? or the powdered stuff??

If they have aspartame they are bad for you. Aspartame has been linked to cancer.

However is it cheating? I would leave that up to you to decide since it is not really high in sugar but it can still be unhealthy for you.

depends on what you're trying to avoid. If you are drinking the 0 calorie ones then you are drinking all of those artifical sweeteners that so many people are against. If you are drinking the regular ones then you are still drinking sugar. What was your goal when switching to water?

They're just walmart generic powder packets. Some for like, energy boosts and extra vitamins, etc. They're like the 10 calories and 2 gr sugar a packet things.

I switched cause wanting weighted and I found myself being more and more addicted to caffeine and pop. Didn't like that.

Well if you are trying to cut down the caffiene then the energy one probably is cheating...cheater cheater pumpkin eater!

I wondered what that taste was. Haha. ;) Guess I'll be stopping cause I just checked the box and it has that aspartame stuff. I don't mind plain water, just picky with the temp. Has to be really cold and it doesn't get very cold in my apartment. The flavor would distract from the temperature.

Add some fresh lemon or lime to the water.
