Hey /fit/ I'm a chubbyfag eating 1500 calories a day and drinking only water + exercising to lose weight, and it's working. Boring shit. Anyway I'm curious how people feel about "water enhancer" shit like Mio.
When I started out I used it in all of my water cus zero calories so why not. I read some shit that says sucralose has been linked to weight gain so I stopped cold turkey to see if there was any difference, after about a month I'm losing weight at exactly the same rate I was before (2.5 lbs per week) so I'm curious if anyone else here has experience with sucralose in general, or water drops, and what their policy on it is.

If it doesnt have calories it won't affect your weightloss. Sucralose doesn't magically negate calories in/calories out.
The only thing is that some people have anything sweet (so even artificial sweeteners) and then it makes them more prone to overeating and other stuff like that, the way actual sugar/sweet stuff does, so its YMMV kind of thing. If you're losing weight the same rate with or without it, there's really no need to deprive yourself of something good, plus it's a good substitute for juice and soda and whatnot

"Diet" beverages and stuff like that CANNOT cause you to gain weight if they have zero calories. When those studies talk about people gaining weight they're talking about how drinking diet sodas makes you more likely to say "I had a diet coke/mio/whatever so I'm fine with having a big mac and large fries, piece of cheesecake, an extra piece of pizza etc."
That's not to say there aren't plenty of reasons to cut that shit from your diet, just that weight loss isn't one of them.
no the studies said that people who drank sucralose had their insulin levels fucked with while people who drank water didn't but there are other studies that didn't show this and it's quite inconclusive.
I'm probably just going to have 1-2 glasses of flavoured water per day and the rest plain water, now that I'm used to the taste of plain water there's no sense in going back.

No. Drinks with no calories don't make you gain weight.

These insulin studies show a very low insulin response also. It's not something that should be taken into account when choosing diet drinks over water.
I've even heard arguments that diet drinks are better for your than water because the sodium and electrolytes improve the bodies ability to rehydrate.
