PITTSBURGH -- Everybody is looking for that magic pill or diet that will help take off pounds quickly and easily. Now there is a new kind of water hitting the market that says you can sip away the pounds. Does it work? Channel 11 decided to put it to the test.

We handed out water to our two volunteers, Carrie and Kristin. We removed the labels so neither knew which water she had.

One got regular, 89-cent bottled water. The other got Evamor Artesian Water at a cost of $1.79 a liter.

Evamor said the secret of its water lies in the pH. It says it is 100 times more alkaline than regular water. Because of that, the company claims it neutralizes acids and helps burn fat more efficiently.

We asked Carrie and Kristin to drink 2 liters of water a day for two weeks and not change their diets.

Registered dietician Leslie Bonci said pH has little to do with losing weight.

"If somebody is drinking water, maybe they're not eating so they may be cutting calories. Secondly, if someone has a large glass of water, especially right before a meal, they may feel a little bit more full and then not eat as much," Bonci said.

Two weeks later, our two volunteers weighed in. Carrie lost about 3 pounds; Kristin 1.5 pounds.

So who had the diet water? Carrie had the regular water and Kristin had the diet water.

The cost of Carrie's water was about $25; Kristin's diet water cost almost $50 for the two-week period.

Carrie said, "You don't have to spend the extra money for diet water."

Kristin added, "One dollar 70 cents a bottle? Not worth it!"

The company said Evamor water is naturally alkaline and rich in calcium bicarbonate.

Evamor said that suppresses a hormone instrumental in growing new fat cells, which helps in weight loss.
