Call it an old wives' tale but does citric acid aid in losing weight? For the first time in about 40 lbs, I've been able to lose 2 lbs a day, or 5 lbs in the past week. I'm no beginner to weight loss but the last time I had this success was four years ago, when I was drinking a lot of Fresca!

Weird, i drank alot of fresca my first time doing atkins......hmmm

Hmmmm Thinking I am gonna have to see if they have Fresca in England

What the heck is fresca???? I'm asking cuz I have no clue what yall talking about!!

Grapefruit Soda,very good.

hmm actually ive heard the opposite that it can actually STALL weight loss?

If this was true, it would be fantastic! I love Fresca but haven't been letting myself have it because I was afraid it would stall me.

Yes, I heard the same thing. That citrus acid stalls your weightloss. Which I have also heard too that they aide in weightloss. But, I had and have been drinking the flavored water with splenda and citrus acid in it for awhile, and I don't believe that it has anything to do with the lack of the weight going down. Most of the SF sodas and SF drinks out there have citrus acid, and a lot of the foods have it too.
All you can do is try the drinks and foods and see if it stalls you, if so don't drink them and eat them. If you find you do not stall, drink and eat the foods with the citrus acids!
I also heard that drinking lemon juice aides in weightloss.
Wonder if that is so?
Good Luck!
