I have recently read that some people have had a problem with MIO perhaps getting in the way of weight loss? I was so happy to find such a good additive to plain water. Can a few just weigh in on what they think on this idea that maybe I should avoid it totally. I was just desperate for something other that water. Any input appreciated.!!

I used to drink it in my water all the time. I started using it in only one 32oz cup each day (out of at least 4) and then the less I used it, the less I liked it. the chemical aftertaste isn't worth it so I drink my water plain or with lemon wedges. I didn't have any trouble with my losses when I drank it. You may find you do but you may find you don't. Remember everyone is different.

Propel Zero and Powerade Zero are something I started drinking last week and I had a tiny loss. I was going to quit it altogether but I have allowed myself 1/2 a bottle a day and I'm doing just fine. It's such a treat. I know others can't have that either so I was worried that's what my low loss was last week but I'm thinking otherwise now. Just because it made someone else stall doesn't mean I will too.

It's all trial and err. Good luck!

I've never tried it but I chuckle every time I see it. I grew up in a very small town named Mio, MI.

Every body is different and we all react differently to anything. I know FOR ME, the less "fake stuff" I have, the better my losses. Even before IP I noticed that I am very intolerant to fake sugar, so it is no surprise to me to know that Mio and Walden Farms slow down my losses. Sometimes I have a little just because it is a treat, but I try to stay away from it.

If you have been using it and haven't noticed any stalls, then do not worry about it.

Canadian here....what is MIO?

I have only been doing IP for about a week. I have never liked the taste of plain water. This diet however requires lots of water and I thought it was going to be my main challenge. I use MIO with all my water, not very much but enough to give it flavor. I have lost 9 lbs in 6 days so I'd say its ok, so far!!!

Mio is a water flavourer...Its like a liquid water sweetner made with splenda..its like crystal light only made with splenda and in a liquid form..They do have it in canada in walmart apparently..but i prefer to use nestea Zero stix cause i find them in the store easily.

I really appreciate the input... How great to have you all! Thanks for taking the time to answer me.

I've given up on Mio but have recently started putting cucumber in my water! What a nice change!

Now that is something different, may have to try this one

Do you mind my asking why you had given up on mio?

i <3 Mio!!! I only have it a few times a week but its delicious! My favorites are Sweet Tea and Berry Pomegranate!
