    Hey I was just googling for how many caloris in lemsip ( Lemsip Max breatheasy, lemon and menthl for any one interested its the fist one I've had and its fabulous!) and people get SERIOUSLY worked up about it! I still don't know how many calories and have stopped looking....too much fury over people calorie counting and too much obcession from those counting. I'm going to guess. :)

    Well each sachet weighs 7.2g and 6g of sugar is 23 calories so worst case it must be say 25 calories.

    I never gave up sugar in my coffee and used to count it.

    Have you lost say 4-7lbs a month for 2 to 3 months in a row?
    If so and your feeling "drained" it might simply be your body needs a little break, might have hit a plateaux and you might benefit from bring up the calorie in take to maintain weight for a couples of weeks or so.
    Just a thought.
