Not when it is sweetened with aspartame and has fruit solids in it. You would also be going over your sweetener allowance for the day. Crystal light is a known staller.

Sorry but Sunny is right. Not only is Crystal Light not recommended but the only thing that counts as water is water. http://www.atkinsdietbulletinboard.c...nts-water.html (It's Official: What counts as water)

There are so many things that I never thought I could omit in my daily diet, for example anything "sweet", or diet soda. But since starting Atkins almost a month ago, I feel so fantastic and not even an ounce deprived because I decided to take full advantage of the benefits of this way of eating. I know that to each his own, but I just wanted to share that I have gone 27 days without anything sweet at all, not even a splenda-sweetened, caffeine free diet soda, and I couldn't care less. The truth is, it's like a boot camp for your taste buds desires. I'm discovering that I can drink water and water alone instead of diet soda (which I was heavily addicted to) or even those sugar free hawaiian punch or crystal light packages that I used to think were "okay". All I'm saying is, I have rid myself of things I was certain I couldn't do without, and If I can do it, anyone can.

Good point Desert Rain! I used to be a huge diet soda and crystal light junkie and never drank water. It just seemed so unappealing and now I am addicted to the stuff! I pretty much drink only water and occasionally I will have sparkling water or flavored seltzer as a treat.

Finally gave up the Crystal Light and the Diet Coke. I finally broke the plateau thanks to all who gave me advice. I must admit I was upset and did not want to hear it at first but I stuck to only water and finally broke my plateau.
