The latest social media-driven weight loss trend among Gen Z girls is “tadpole water.” As reported by the New York Post, this trend involves mixing warm water with chia seeds and a squeeze of fresh lemon, resulting in a drink that resembles baby frogs in a pond.
Teenagers and young adults are praising this homemade concoction for its purported benefits, including fat loss, reduced bloating, and improved gut health. An 18-year-old TikTok user, Mariah Padilla, claimed that the drink helped her lose a “pound a day” over three days, affirming its effectiveness for weight loss despite describing its taste as “funky” and difficult to swallow.

Another influencer, Ambria Streicher, also reported weight loss but criticized the drink’s taste, stating, “(To be honest) this stuff is NOT good.” Meanwhile, lifestyle influencer Rosita humorously expressed her hopes to achieve a slimmer figure by Thursday with her tadpole water.
A cautionary note from a health enthusiast emphasized the importance of soaking chia seeds before consumption to avoid digestive issues, such as blockages and constipation, caused by the seeds expanding in the stomach.
Chia seeds, a popular superfood, are recognized for their health benefits, including high fiber, protein, omega-3 fatty acids, antioxidants, and essential vitamins and minerals. Harvard Health reports that chia seeds can enhance feelings of fullness and support weight management by forming a gel-like substance in the stomach that reduces appetite and calorie intake.
