A member asked:

Will kombucha tea help promote weight loss?

Dr. Heidi Fowler answered

Specializes in Psychiatry

Kombucha: Just as with green tea, any weight loss benefits with Kombucha would be minimal. Drinking Kombucha without eating a healthy diet & exercising, will likely not lead to significant weight loss. The rule still applies that calories burned must exceed calories in to lose weight.
