Is Metabolism-Boosting Drinks Good or Bad for Weight Loss?

While certain ingredients like caffeine and EGCG in green tea can cause a small, temporary increase in metabolic rate (estimated 50-100 extra calories burned daily at best), their impact on significant weight loss is largely negligible. Many commercially marketed 'metabolism-boosting' drinks contain high amounts of added sugars, which can easily negate any minor calorie-burning benefits and contribute to weight gain. Sustained weight loss comes from consistent dietary changes and increased physical activity.
