If you’re fact-checking the claim “Drink this to lose 70 pounds,” there’s an important red flag: no particular drink has been proven to make someone lose 70 pounds by itself.
Weight loss generally requires a sustained calorie deficit, along with appropriate nutrition and physical activity. The CDC says a gradual loss of about 1–2 pounds per week is more likely to be maintained than rapid weight loss.

Losing 70 pounds at that rate would typically take roughly 9–16 months, although the appropriate pace varies by person. Claims promising dramatically faster results from a tea, juice, spice, or other drink should therefore be treated skeptically.
If you tell me what the drink is (or send the picture/video), I can check its specific ingredients and tell you whether there’s credible evidence that it helps with weight loss.
