Social media often features dramatic before-and-after photos with claims like, “I drank one glass a day and lost 25 kilos before my wedding.” While drinks made with ingredients such as chia seeds, flaxseeds, lemon, or herbs can be a healthy addition to your diet, no single drink can cause such significant weight loss on its own.
Losing 25 kg (55 lb) requires a sustained calorie deficit, regular physical activity, healthy eating habits, and time.
