When it comes to weight loss, experts agree that it is 30% exercise and 70% diet. So, why not push your diet that extra mile with some, dare we say, baking soda? Now, some of you may be wondering how plain old baking soda could have an impact on anything else other than, well, baking. But studies show that this wondrous white powder can not only help you win the war against fat, but also contribute in relieving upset stomachs, heartburn, and neutralizing any excess acid from your tummy (1)!
It would be remiss of us, however, if we didn’t provide a word of caution. Though baking soda has plenty of benefits, it’s best advised to use it in small amounts. Anything above 5-10 grams could negatively impact your blood pH levels.
If you happen to suffer from any kidney or heart-related disease, chronic illness, diabetes or high blood pressure, please consult your doctor before you try this.
The last disclaimer: Consuming baking soda on an empty stomach is fine. However, avoid its consumption right after a meal since the carbon dioxide produced could hurt the digestive organs (2).
Read on to find out how baking soda can fight that fat.
1. Make A Baking Soda Drink
Your daily sports drink is probably doing you more harm than you’d imagine (3). Persistent consumption is reportedly associated with the development of type II diabetes.
Opt for a baking soda drink as an alternative. Not only can this healthier option easily supersede those sugar-loaded drinks, but it can also boost your physical performance (4). In fact, if you happen to be performing a high-intensity workout, baking soda produces even more beneficial results (5).
How To Make It
For making a power-packed baking soda drink, you will need the following:
- ¼ cup honey
- ¼ tbsp baking soda

On a low flame, heat the coconut water and add baking soda. After it has dissolved, mix in the rest of the ingredients and then pour the final product into your sports bottle.
2. Baking Soda And Lemon Juice
Lemon juice can boost your metabolism (6). And studies will back us up when we say that combining the wonders of baking soda, lemon juice, and water can definitely improve your chances of getting rid of the fat (7).

3. Baking Soda And Green Tea Drink
We have all heard about the endless benefits of green tea to the point of wondering if we could make it any better. Yes, we can. Green tea not only boosts brain functioning but also notably reduces your risk for type II diabetes, enhances dental health, and, most impressively, burns your fat (8). Combining the metabolism increasing powers of green tea along with the fat busting properties of baking soda could help you improve your chances of losing weight and burning fat significantly.
