Here is a great review of Enviga, the purported “negative calorie” drink from the Coca-Cola company.

• Can Enviga Cause Weight Loss?

I love their evaluation:

“Let’s just say the Enviga is true to it’s word and the increased energy expenditure actually leads to fat burning. According to Nestle you need to drink 3 cans per day. So, to burn 1 pound of fat (3,500 Calories) you would need to drink 105 bottles of Enviga over 35 days. That amounts to $147 (average $1.40 per can).

“Enviga is sweetened with aspartame and ace-k. At 3 cans a day – that’s a lot of aspartame going down the hatch.

“This isn’t a weight loss wonder – but simply a stepping stone in a market where carbonated drink sales have been falling.”

Remember, weight loss is big business and companies think we are stupid. Don’t fall for it. Just because they slap a label on something telling you that it will make you lose weight, doesn’t mean it will or that it’s good for you.
