Does soda water cause weight gain?

Question

I'm trying to manage my weight, and someone suggested replacing sugary drinks with soda water. But then I read online that soda water might cause weight gain. Can someone clear this up for me?

I actually panicked last year thinking my daily sparkling soda water was making me fat. But then my nutritionist told me that plain soda water has zero calories and doesn't cause weight gain at all. Just make sure you aren't drinking the sugary flavored ones!

At 50, even looking at a samosa makes me gain weight, but thankfully plain soda water is calorie-free! It might cause temporary bloating due to the carbonation gas, but it won't add real fat to your body. Just don't mix it with sweet syrups.

My mother always tells me that cold carbonated water causes weight gain and bad digestion. But when I asked my doctor, she reassured me that plain soda water has zero calories and is perfectly fine for weight management. I still prefer warm water, but soda water is safe.

Hey, don't stress too much about it! Plain soda water is just carbonated water and has absolutely zero calories, so it won't make you gain weight. Enjoy your drink, just make sure there is no hidden sugar in it.

Plain carbonated water won't cause weight gain, but since I have thyroid issues, I have to be extremely careful with my metabolism. If you are experiencing unexplained weight gain, please get your thyroid levels checked and consult your doctor regularly.
