You might have seen people mixing baking soda with water and claiming it helps burn belly fat fast. But does it really work… or is it just another internet trend?
In this video, I explain the truth. There’s no magic drink that melts fat overnight, but this simple recipe can still be part of a basic daily routine when used properly. I also show how to make it step-by-step using ingredients you already have at home.
Real results always come from consistency, better food choices, and staying active.

“Based preloads can be a practical tool for bariatric patients who struggle with portion control,” says Sean Thompson, a Northampton-based dietitian with a 4.99-star rating across 385+ reviews. “But I always tell clients: the foundation is still protein-first meals and mindful eating. Think of the gelatin trick as training wheels, not the whole bike. And if you have kidney concerns, check with your doctor — excessive gelatin can be protein overkill.”
Sean specializes in accessible, evidence-based nutrition for individuals with disabilities and those navigating post-surgical diets. She holds dual master's degrees from Tufts University and approaches care without a weight-centric lens.
