Notes

Use only a tiny pinch of baking soda. More baking soda does not improve weight-loss results and may add excess sodium. Do not use this drink as a meal replacement, cleanse, or quick weight-loss trick. It may help only when replacing sugary beverages within a balanced lifestyle. Avoid or consult a healthcare professional before use if you have high blood pressure, kidney disease, heart concerns, reflux, sodium restrictions, pregnancy-related concerns, or take medications that may interact with sodium or stomach acid changes. Best enjoyed when replacing a sugary drink during mid-morning or afternoon hours.
