question about beverages.

ok im wondering if its ok to drink sugar free kool aid on the induction?

I am in the Uk and have absolutely no idea what is in coolade.

Could you post here the ingredients that are used as an artificial sweetener? It depends on which sweeteners are used as to wether it is legal or not.

Personally, however I would always recomend that you only drink water on induction. Thats what I did.

HTH and I look forward to seeing your reply.

SF Koolaid is made with aspartame, which Dr. A says 25% of the people in his care caused stalls. For this reason, we are cautious in recommending anything with it. You could certainly be one it does not affect, but for me personally, it wasnt worth the risk. Another option would be unsweetened KoolAid, and instead of sugar use Splenda instead. You of course would need count any of the sweetener against your daily limit of three, and not against your water intake in the day.

Dont know what kool aid is???? What kind of God fearing American are you... oh wait... nevermind.

If you follow Induction correctly, then given a few days/week you won't be craving the sugary sodas! But yes, water is best for induction. I personally, have experienced no stalls from drinking diet drinks, but some people do. And if you had a choice, would you rather lose the weight that week, or have one bottle of kool-aid?

I am also clueless about Kool Aide. We don't have that downunder.

But if it contains aspartame that I would not recommed anyone consume it at anytime.

I gave up all aspartame 4 days ago (because it gave me headaches & diarrhea) and I've noticed a clarity in my thoughts and possibly some Weight Loss!

Go the H20!!!!! W000t!

Koolaid is a powdered drink mix made of artificial colors, flavors and sweetener ..sugar or as Kent said Aspartame...it leaves you with a flourescent moustache colored tongue and teeth if mixed right... most American kids were raised on it.... that is why IMHO we have so many problems in this country ....instead of breastfeeding babies I have actually seen this in infant bottles ...amazing to me .....

I am sure you guys have something similar?

water really is the best choice

In time you will be ok with water. I used to hate the stuff but now almost find myself craving it!

If it helps, make it ice cold. Much more refreshing that way.
