    If it has zero calories, then it will have zero direct affect on your weight.


    If it replaces something with calories you would have consumed otherwise, it can help you to stay in a deficit and lose weight.

    If it makes you snacky, it can make it harder for you to stay in a deficit and lose weight.

    Whether it does either of those things is going to be different for everyone. :drinker:

    There is no such thing as a food that is good or bad for weight loss.

    There are foods that fit your calorie goals, and foods that don’t. If a food is zero calorie, then it has zero impact on your calorie goals.

    Fat loss is 100% about being in a calorie deficit and it does not matter what specific foods you eat.

    It's neither good nor bad for weight loss...no particular food is good or bad for weight loss. Weight management by and large comes down to calories. A zero calorie beverage cannot make you gain weight. If your total calories exceed your maintenance needs you gain weight.

    I drink it all the time. Makes a good alternative to water. So in the respect that you will be hydrated if you drink lots of it, and hydration is better than dehydration for anything, then I guess it helps with weight loss.

    But it won't directly have any influence on your weight. Even if that's all you drink.
