    It doesn't effect weight loss, but I always opt for room temp water because I can drink more of it than icy cold water.

    Yea!! That's true

    I'm the same way. I'd much rather drink cold but I can find myself always drinking more when it's room temp.

    I don't think it makes a difference what the water temperature is for weight loss.
    I prefer drinking cold water and drink it this way all the time. I would drink room temperature water if I had to. Plain warm/hot water would be icky to me and I would drink very little of it.

    Warm water is gross. I like cold water.


    I can drink room temperature soda though, so my husband calls me a nutter when I freak out about room temperature water.

    Boiling.

    You have to drink it boiling. It burns a lot of calories. And by calories, I mean your esophagus and the lining of your stomach. It's really a great way to lose weight, since you won't want to eat anything for a while.

    It can't make enough difference to matter.

    I like mine with ice, in a Tervis tumbler. :)

    Why do people believe this makes any difference at all

    Personally I like my soft drinks room temperature ... but I don't mind cold

    White wine has to be cold though

    And coffee hot .. like my m... oh never mind

    It's the same group that logs "dusting" as exercise.

    Comment guys ... which one is best for faster weight loss..

    Really? ;)

    The temperature of water has zilch to do with weight loss. The only thing relevant to weight loss is eating less food than your total daily energy expenditure.

    Wanna lose 1200 Calories a month? Drink a liter of ice water a day. You burn the energy just raising the water to body temp.

    Doesn't matter. It's more of a preference rather than anything to do with weight loss.

    I think you can burn 100 calories a month drinking ice water or something. Hardly worth the trouble IMO. I like it better at room temperature, personally.

    Reminds me... I bought stuff for S'mores yesterday and still haven't had breakfast because I haven't figured out the macro/calorie cost of a/some S'mores, yet. I guess I should do that.

    1200 calories a month...why the weight's just flying off!

    Does a calorie weigh more or less than muscle?
