Boire de l’eau avec un sirop fait grossir : mythe ou réalité ?

Does drinking water with syrup make you gain weight: myth or reality?

With the arrival of warmer weather and the desire to refresh oneself, many people choose to flavor their water with syrup. A question that often arises is: does drinking water with syrup make you gain weight? The answer isn't as simple as a yes or no. It really depends on the amount of sugar and calories in the syrup you add to your water.

One liter of syrup is the equivalent of a Big Mac

On average, a 220ml glass of flavored water with a classic syrup contains 40 to 50 calories . This may seem insignificant at first glance. But by consuming multiple glasses throughout the day, the impact quickly becomes significant: a one-liter bottle, or about five glasses, provides nearly 250 calories . That's almost the energy equivalent of a Big Mac (257 calories) or a large chocolate bar. Over a whole week, this represents more than 1,700 extra calories , the equivalent of several full meals! In the long term, these "liquid" calories accumulate in the energy balance and can contribute to insidious weight gain.

So, while flavoring your water is a great way to drink more , it's essential to pay attention to the type of syrup you choose. Not all syrups are created equal, and that's where a lighter, more balanced alternative comes in.

Antésite: a delicious solution without excess calories

For those who want to enjoy flavored water guilt-free , Antésite offers a unique alternative. Unlike traditional syrups, our formulas are designed to provide taste and freshness without excess sugar or unnecessary calories .

Just a few drops are enough to transform water into a delicious drink. A 20 cl glass prepared with this concentrate contains 0 calories and 0 g of sugar . This is made possible thanks to licorice root , which naturally provides sweetness and flavor, without any added sugar or artificial sweeteners. The result: a light, refreshing drink suitable for the whole family, even those watching their diet.

Made using only the sugars naturally present in plants , they offer a fruity and authentic flavor, with only 6 to 8 kcal per 20 cl glass and less than 2 g of sugar. This is significantly less than traditional syrups, which often contain around 10 to 15 g of sugar per glass.

In comparison, a single 33cl can of soda contains approximately 140 calories and over 30g of sugar , the equivalent of 6 to 7 sugar cubes. Antésite products therefore allow you to combine pleasure and balance, without sacrificing taste.

Flavoring your water with Antésite can help you drink more throughout the day, promoting hydration, guilt-free and without the risk of weight gain.

With Antésite ultra concentrated or our organic fruit concentrates , you can enjoy a tasty, healthy and low-calorie drink, ideal for those who want to stay hydrated without compromising their nutritional balance.
