Don't expect to shed pounds solely due to your choice of beverage. The benefits of drinking carbonated water for weight loss are “so small that it is difficult to expect weight loss effects solely from the CO2 in carbonated water,” the study notes.

The body absorbs the carbon in a way that “may support weight loss,” according to a new study, but carbonated drinks are not a “standalone solution”

A new study finds that drinking carbonated or sparkling water may contribute to weight loss via two mechanisms, though it may need other factors to make a significant impact.

According to the report, the carbon dioxide in sparkling water may help to prevent this by stimulating glycolysis, a process the body uses to break down glucose for energy and keep blood sugar levels low. More research is needed to confirm the report’s findings and to understand how bubbly water can best work for weight loss.

The carbon dioxide in seltzer may slightly boost metabolism — but these zero-calorie drinks can also help you feel fuller and cut down snacking.

New research suggests that drinking sparkling water might help with weight loss. However, the effects of sparkling water on weight loss are quite small, meaning most people will still need to eat well and exercise often to maintain a healthy weight.

Drinking sparkling water and fasting now and then could help regulate your metabolism and help you lose weight, according to doctors and scientists behind two recently released studies,In a paper published in the British Medical Journal’s Nutrition Prevention & Health,

Fizzy drink lovers rejoice! Whether you prefer yours still or bubbly, water is beneficial not only for overall health, but for weight loss, too-and recent research suggests carbonated water specifically may promote weight loss by aiding hydration and balancing blood sugar.
