Crystal light

[Blossum]

I am going to start induction but I am afraid I cannot live without Diet Coke or Cystal light. I know now I drink them mostly at night to ward off hunger on all of the low fat diets and semi-diets I have dne.

Do I really have to wean off of Nutrisweet and caffeine to lose weight? Or, is it that they cause hunger pains.

aspartame is really bad for you, you should read up on some of the articles published. Also, diet coke and crystal light are known for causing stalls.

I've only been here for a week and a half, so who knows if I could be losing more, but I lost 5 lbs the first week and so far my second week I am another 5 lbs down. I drink a diet coke with my lunch every day. However, I am going to do extended induction for 2 weeks and limit myself to 1 on Sat and Sun only and if I lose more during that will probably be sold. I know people who have been drinking aspartamme since it existed with no other medical problems, but I'm not one to go for the organic and all natural foods either... I think the caffeine and aspartamme thing is mostly because it causes stalls. A "to each her own" type of thing?
