Crystal Light is actually not great for you either. Low calorie sweeteners like splenda and aspartame trick your body into thinking it's getting sugar and releasing insulin. When that insulin is released, it doesn't actually have anything to work on, so it goes to work on whatever's available in your blood, making your blood sugar drop dramatically and increasing your cravings for sugar.

There's also research to suggest that sustained use of diet drinks may actually be responsible for insulin insensitivity that contributes to type 2 diabetes, though so far I'm not sure how well it's supported, despite being an intuitive outcome.

Stay away from those things. If you must flavour your water, do it by adding a little bit of real fruit juice (cranberry, lemon and grapefruit all tend to work well in my experience).

D: :( I hate how water tastes. Guess I will have to find a fruit alternative.

Just give it time. Your palate will become accustomed to less sugary food as you keep eating well, eventually you will find out that the taste of water is the best thing there is after a workout.

A lot of people dislike water because they're used to sweet beverages. Like the other comment said, give it time and your palate will get used to it. Try adding a squeeze of lime or lemon.

But avoid fruit juice, it's full of sugar.

Pure fructose might not be good for you either. There seem to be a correlation between people getting pancreatic cancer and the high amount of distilled fructose they consume as a food additive. Stick to brown sugar or honey or syrup as sweetners, I say.

DA-brown sugar is white sugar with molasses added back in. Basically, all forms of concentrated sugar should be consumed sparingly. It's no more healthy to guzzle maple syrup or honey than corn syrup. Maybe some trace minerals, and raw local honey may help people avoid allergies to local plant pollen, but that's about it. (Don't remember if agave syrup actually has more sweetening power for fewer calories, I think so, but it's still not calorie free or anything.)
