Crystal light contains artificial sweetener. Although artificial sweetener doesn't contain glucose, in some folks the sweet taste stimulates their bodies to produce insulin, which in turn stimulates their appetite. I'd stay away from it even if you are fasting for weight loss only.

Ohmygosh---all your cells are reaching for nutrition and you are only giving them aspartame, which is 100% brain-tumor causing? PLEASE just switch to The Master Cleanser if you want like a zero-calorie pick me up!!! Chemicals are still substances, and NOT a water-fast. It won't give you energy like the MC, either. You can fast longer on the Master-Cleanse as a result, girl.

Crystal light is poison. The Aspartame is an excitotoxin that can cause brain damage, seizures, attention deficient disorders and a host of other problems. Diet Coke helped kill my Dad, believe me, you may think nothing really matters except being thin. But being healthy is far more important. Crystal Light will give you taste, but that is it. You can dilute fruit juices to get some taste but less calories, try juicing melons, they are very low calorie, but nutricious. I agree with the poster who suggested the Master Cleanse, you can reduce the amount of syrup if you need to, but you will be getting some minerals and avoiding poison.

Hi, how long have you been on it? I want to start a water/crystal light fast alot, but I'm so afraid of passing out. I have this fear that something will happen while I'm sleeping.. I know I'm weird haha. I'm fasting for weight loss as well :] but I add juices and sometimes milk to my intake. I'd like to know more about the water/crystal light fasting, it seems like a good idea. Do you feel ok on it?
