Doctor Rocio Salas-Whalen confirmed that water can have a positive effect on your metabolism in an interview with PopSugar. Salas-Whalen says in the interview that drinking cold water acts as a thermogenic to increase your metabolism, temporarily.
There is another great simple drink you can easily brew at home to aid weight loss if you’re looking for something a bit more flavorful than plain water.
In an interview with Southern Living, Amy Gorin, MS, RDN, says that green tea may help you lose weight.
“This is because green tea may help boost your metabolism--and likely also because of the water (which is filling) that tea provides when it is brewed. Studies show that people regularly drinking green tea for 12 weeks may lose up to 7.7 pounds more than control groups,” Gorin says.
You’ll be on your way to successful weight loss in little to no time with some help from drinking lots of water and green tea,
