FNBADAZ06 Posted April 25, 2011 Share Posted April 25, 2011 Last year I started kicking the caffiene habit by switching to non-caffienated diet versions of Coke products and nixing the Monster energy drink consumption. Now, I'm trying to stop the consumption of any soda (regardless of form), or at least cut WAY back, and start drinking more water (which is BORING). Found this new product called Mio Liquid Water Enhancer which is used to add flavor to water. D@MN...this stuff is really good !!!! A squirt or two into a 44 oz of water is enough to give the water the flavor I like but you can add or remove the amount you use to suite your own taste. HIGHLY RECOMMENED to those whose wish to drink water but want a splash of taste added. I keep a bottle of it in my car to use when I eat out as well...the bottle is small at only 1.6 fluid ounces. I found it at my local Fry's grocery store, but being a new product you might find it difficult to locate initially. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve@LPM Posted April 25, 2011 Share Posted April 25, 2011 looks interesting. You find it similar to crystal light? How is it priced? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FNBADAZ06 Posted April 25, 2011 Author Share Posted April 25, 2011 looks interesting. You find it similar to crystal light? How is it priced? Way better then Crystal Light IMHO, and much easier to use as it's in liquid form. You can add or subtract the amount you add to your water to suite your taste. I think it was 2.99 at the Fry's as a new product promotional. One 1.6 ounce bottle has lasted me over a month now There's a printable coupon for $1.00 off at Target's.

Shifty Posted April 25, 2011 Share Posted April 25, 2011 I drink all diet soda, and a fair amount of it too, I kicked it a couple years ago, but got really bored of teh vitamin water...this just might be teh answer... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Z06_Mir Posted April 25, 2011 Share Posted April 25, 2011 I used to drink ridiculous amounts of soda, never diet. I got a SodaStream and it has helped tremendously. I drink a lot more water now, but when I do want a soda I make some at home. It's cheap, almost the same as normal soda and the non-diet flavors are only about 40 calories per "can" size! I probably drink 1-2 liters of that stuff per week and only 1 real soda once a week. The diet flavors are all 0 calories.. they even have "Red Bull" flavor.

Desertdawg Posted April 25, 2011 Share Posted April 25, 2011 I drink a 12oz coke zero a day, unsweetened tea, and lots of water, no weight loss though. I got cheated... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve@LPM Posted April 25, 2011 Share Posted April 25, 2011 I think diet soda gets a bad rap. I drank a ton while prepping for my last show and it had zero affect on my progress. It definitely helped curb my cravings. A lot of people think its bad for you from all the artificial ingredients/sweeteners, but if your going to worry about that you might as well avoid all food/drinks. You have no control on what is put in food. Even if you decide to go as far as growing your own fruits/veggies how do you know theres not chemicals in the dirt. I try not to worry about the little things and focus on the big picture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
c7speed Posted April 25, 2011 Share Posted April 25, 2011 Emergen - C is really good. I also drink the VitaRain from Costco. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FNBADAZ06 Posted April 25, 2011 Author Share Posted April 25, 2011 Emergen - C is really good. I also drink the VitaRain from Costco. MiO mixed with water taste very similar to VitaRain, or any of the other similar style water drinks except you can flavor to your liking. The MiO doesn't have the added vitamin content but is considerably cheaper. Give it a try and tell me what you think.....I like the taste and simplicity of use a lot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bigfoot Posted April 25, 2011 Share Posted April 25, 2011 I still drink soads...no caffeine ones that is. Been caffeine free since June, probably the best thing I've done in a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wickedfastvette Posted April 26, 2011 Share Posted April 26, 2011 No caffeine for me, and no sugar, now if I drink a soda it makes me sick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
L8RDAYS Posted April 26, 2011 Share Posted April 26, 2011 Be careful with this stuff. The sweetener, acesulfame potassium (aka acesulfame k), is not the safest stuff out there. And if you're trying to lose a few or more pounds, the fake sweeteners found in things like MiO and diet sodas will actually cause you to gain weight. Just sayin'.... Check this link out too!!
