Can seltzer cause weight gain?

Plain carbonated water doesn't have calories, but some research says carbonation can trigger hunger hormones in some people. I always stick to natural lime juice in plain water. Watch your overall diet pattern to be absolutely safe.

Physiologically, pure seltzer water is just carbonated water and doesn't cause weight gain. However, the gas might cause temporary bloating which feels like weight gain. If you are struggling with persistent weight issues, consulting a clinical nutritionist is your best bet.

Why spend so much on fancy seltzer cans anyway? Normal water with a squeeze of fresh lemon is the best zero-calorie drink you can get. It is cheap, safe, and definitely won't make you fat.

I used to drink three cans a day and kept worrying why my stomach looked bigger. Honestly, it was just bloating from the gas bubbles, not real fat. Still, I cut down because the constant anxiety was driving me crazy.

When I went to Max Hospital for my annual physical, I asked the doctor about my sparkling water habit. He said plain unsweetened seltzer is totally fine and doesn't cause weight gain. Please ask your doctor if you have other metabolic issues.
