The phrase “Drink this to lose 70 pounds” is a common weight-loss clickbait claim. There is no single drink that can reliably make someone lose 70 pounds on its own. Large, lasting weight loss usually comes from a sustained calorie deficit combined with healthy eating, physical activity, sleep, and other lifestyle factors.
Some drinks can support weight management by replacing higher-calorie options:
- Water: Helps with hydration and can reduce the urge to drink sugary beverages.
- Unsweetened tea or coffee: Low-calorie options that may help some people manage appetite.
- Protein shakes (when appropriate): Can help increase protein intake and support fullness, especially when used as part of a balanced diet.
- Low-calorie, high-protein drinks: May be useful for some people, but they are not “fat-burning” solutions.
Be cautious with drinks marketed as:
- “Fat burners”
- “Detox cleanses”
- “Belly fat melting” drinks
- “Lose 10 pounds in a week” formulas
These claims are often exaggerated, and some products may contain ingredients that are ineffective or unsafe.
If you mean a specific drink from a video or article, tell me the ingredients or name, and I can help evaluate whether it actually has evidence behind it.
