Why it helps:
Boosts metabolism slightly (studies show 30% increase in calorie burn after 500ml)
Reduces hunger — sometimes thirst is mistaken for hunger
Zero calories, hydrating, and essential for every bodily function
✅ Tip: Drink a glass before meals to help with portion control.
2. Green Tea
Why it helps:
Contains catechins and caffeine, which may increase fat burning
Linked to modest weight loss in studies (especially around the belly)
Packed with antioxidants
✅ Best choice: Brewed green tea (not sugary bottled versions).
3. Black Coffee (in Moderation)
Why it helps:
Caffeine can boost metabolism and fat oxidation
May improve workout performance
Zero-calorie (if no sugar or cream)
⚠️ Caution: Too much can spike cortisol or disrupt sleep.
4. Herbal Teas (Peppermint, Ginger, Fennel)
Why they help:
Soothe digestion and reduce bloating
Help manage cravings and emotional eating
Caffeine-free and calming
✅ Great for evening sipping.
5. Apple Cider Vinegar (ACV) Drink (Diluted)
Why it may help:
Some studies suggest ACV can increase feelings of fullness and reduce appetite
May help regulate blood sugar after meals
✅ Safe way to drink: 1–2 tsp ACV in 1 cup water, never undiluted
🚫 Not a fat-burner — just a mild support.
