Weight loss drinks that are overrated

Rapid weight loss is not possible

There is no drink that can trigger rapid weight loss. In fact, in some cases, drinks are more calorie-dense than food and thus defeating the purpose.

​Some drinks can surely support the process, but no drink alone can help you lose weight. ​

Here are six such popular drinks that will not help with weight loss

Ginger, honey and lemon water

The drink is nutritious, keeps you hydrated and boosts your immunity. But it cannot do any magic that can help you lose weight.

​Apple Cider Vinegar (ACV)

ACV has various health benefits, but when it comes to weight loss, it hardly helps. It can make you fuller for longer but cannot change your body mass index.

​Green tea

Green is super healthy, but drinking a glass in the morning cannot help you shed kilos. It can raise your metabolic rate, but only when you have too much, which is not safe.

​Smoothies

When made properly, smoothies are great for health. But they can even turn into a sugar bomb, which can hamper your weight loss plans.

​Energy drinks

Energy drinks are sodas with more caffeine and energy-boosting ingredients. It can contain as much sugar as a can of soda.

​Juice

Juice strips away the fibre of the fruit and vegetable. Cold-pressed ones can also spike blood sugar levels.
