A new analysis published in BMJ Nutrition Prevention & Health suggests that fizzy water may help with weight loss by boosting blood glucose uptake and metabolism. However, the effects are small and drinking it alone is not a reliable solution. Regular physical activity and a healthy diet remain crucial for sustainable weight management.
BMJ GroupJan 21 2025 Fizzy water might aid weight loss by boosting blood glucose uptake and metabolism-the rate at which the body uses and converts energy-but the effects are so small, drinking it can't be relied on alone to shed the pounds, concludes a brief analysis published in the open access journal BMJ Nutrition Prevention & Health .
But it's not clear exactly how carbonated water might reduce blood glucose or how this might contribute to weight management, points out the author. Clinical observations during haemodialysis show that blood glucose levels fall as blood passes through the dialyser, despite a higher glucose level in the dialysate solution to start with, he adds.
"Given this minimal glucose reduction, the impact of CO₂ in carbonated water is not a standalone solution for weight loss. A balanced diet and regular physical activity remain crucial components of sustainable weight management," he insists.
