During the week of Feb. 5, a joint venture between the Coca-Cola Company and Nestle, Beverage Partners Worldwide, launched a new product, Enviga. This sparkling green tea beverage is a canned, caffeinated drink that has been proven to burn calories. It comes in green tea, berry and peach flavors and is sold individually as well as in packs of six and 12. According to a company press release, people are looking to fit more health and wellness into their routines, so a healthier drink option is likely to be successful among consumers.
The ingredients in the new drink combine to create a caloring-burning effect, the release said. The drink contains caffeine and green tea extract, which is high in EGCG. These ingredients kickstart the body's metabolism, which means the body burns more energy in the form of calories. According to the release, a lean- to average-bodied person can burn 60 to 100 more calories after drinking three cans of Enviga.
I find this to be highly intriguing. It is interesting to think that a drink made by a soda company can actually burn calories, but I can't help but wonder if it actually works. Even though it is made by a partnership between Coke and Nestle, the drink still seems like one of those questionable diet drink or pill ads one would see on TV. Does anyone have any comments on this?
On a final note, I haven't tried the drink yet, but I think I might. If it tastes good, what harm can it do by burning a few extra calories?

I have always been skeptical about things that are too good to be true. Enviga seems to make promises that everyone dreams of. Does it really work? Are there side effects? I believe that there aren’t any secrets to losing weight. Weight loss is achievable by maintaining a low-calorie diet and exercising. Special drinks and pills will not do the trick.
For example, Hydroxycut, a weight-loss supplement, was recalled due to its dangerous side effects. Many people were experiencing heart attacks and loss of sleep while taking the supplement. Studies later found that high amounts of caffeine were placed in the product to increase metabolism speed.
I personally would not drink Enviga. I believe that people rely on these special drinks and pills for a fast and easy way to lose weight; however, this is not always the healthiest way to do it. The best ways to prevent unwanted side effects, while getting the body you want, is to join a gym and start eating healthy.
