“Drink This to Lose 70 Pounds” — What You Should Know

There is no drink that can safely or reliably make someone lose 70 pounds on its own. Claims that a single beverage “melts fat,” “burns belly fat,” or causes dramatic weight loss are usually exaggerated.

However, some drinks can support weight loss by helping with hydration, appetite control, or replacing higher-calorie beverages.

Drinks That Can Support Healthy Weight Loss

1. Water

Water is one of the simplest tools for weight management.

Benefits:

No calories
Helps prevent confusing thirst with hunger
Can replace sugary drinks

2. Unsweetened Tea

Green tea, black tea, or herbal teas can be good choices because they are:

Low in calories
Hydrating
A healthier alternative to sweetened drinks

Green tea contains compounds that may have a small effect on metabolism, but the effect is not large enough to cause major weight loss by itself.

3. Protein-Rich Drinks

A balanced protein smoothie can help some people feel fuller.

Example:

Greek yoghurt or a protein source
Berries
A small amount of oats
Water or unsweetened milk

Be mindful of portions—smoothies can become high in calories if they contain lots of sweeteners, juices, or large amounts of nuts and fruit.

4. Drinks With Fibre (When Appropriate)

Some people find that fibre-rich options help with fullness, such as:

Adding psyllium fibre as directed on the product label
Eating fibre-rich foods alongside meals

Increase fibre gradually and drink enough fluids.

What Actually Helps With Losing a Large Amount of Weight

A loss of 70 pounds (about 32 kg) usually requires a long-term approach:

✅ A sustainable calorie deficit
✅ Regular movement and strength training
✅ Enough protein and fibre
✅ Good sleep
✅ Managing stress
✅ Support from healthcare professionals when needed

A safe rate of weight loss for many people is often around 0.5–1 kg (1–2 pounds) per week, though individual results vary.
