I’m intermittent fasting and I can tell you, at night I’m drinking about 1.5 liters of Perrier and I don’t feel hungry at all. So to me the bubbles are a good way to stay on the right track.

Doing 18 hour intermittent fasting and an almost zero carb diet I'm finding the exact opposite in my case for sparkling water. It's the perfect little treat for me, more for mental satisfaction than anything else. Normally in the past a couple beers or a bag of chips would be that treat.

The answer is no. If it has no sugar and no calories how can you gain weight ?

Sparkling water helped me lose 20lbs! It keeps me full and less hungry during my daily 24hr fast

I used to drink a lot of soda. I have switched to speaking water... I have lost 54lbs from kicking my sugar addiction.
AHA is the brand I drink. Hydrates like still water.

Ok so it makes you hungry? Not fat though

[tiamarie]

I quit pop for about 2 years and then I started treating myself to pops every so often. Now I get a craving once a day and flavored sparkling water does the trick.

Hunger is just a lust, anyone trying to loose weight and feel like they’re always constantly hungry try meditating to get rid of the thought of hunger and to help build self control

Its mostly pertaining to aspartame sweetened kinds.

[redbeardedt]

It's the artificial sweeteners that can cause your body to hold on to fat and disrupt your gut microbiome. A few brands, like Bubly, Spindrift, LaCroix, Perrier, Zevia, etc, don't use artificial sweeteners.

I drink carbonated water, it fills me up and I have lost weight. I have not gained any weight. I'm confused.

[randomrazr]

why would carbonated water be acidic? its just water with c02 in it. unless there adding flavors and sugar

the doc thought that was real glasses???

[valeriaguelo]

Hey if you get anxious or hungry or whatever, snack on something healthy and drink some water with lemon 🍋 trust me you will never gain weight ❤️

[paulsteel]

The first sign of a narcissist is someone who calls themselves a "better person".

[DaltonP]

I like it as replacement to soda and also drink with vodka when I’m cutting

[footballinvestorsclub]

Sparkling water does not make me hungry at all. All you have to do is get your body used to intermittent fasting as standard practice, put a slice of lemon in your water and add some MSM once or twice a day. It is perfectly healthy.

I've noticed something like this..

[SuperEman]

Right, that’s why Andrew Tate is on “My 600 lb life”

[smokingbeetles]

Soda is equally carbonated but with a Lotta bad stuff
