I've seen you post this so many times on the forums... where's the study backing this claim up? lol.
It's common sense aka Physics 101.
After a grueling work out, you drink a liter
(1kg) of cold water (0 C). How many
Calories does it take for your body to raise
the water up to body temperature of 37 C?
(Specific Heat of water is 1 calorie/gram C)
1) 37 2) 370 3) 3,700 4) 37,000
1 liter = 1,000 grams of H20
1000 g x 1 calorie/(gram degree) x (37 degree) = 37,000 calories
37,000 calories = 37 Calories!
How does burning 37 calories boost one's metabolism? How do you define "boosting metabolism"?0 -
Why drink coffee before a workout if you don't like it? You don't gain anything from it in a training session.
Caffeine has been shown to give a slight boost prior to a competition, there is no benefit to that slight boost when training.0 -

That's IF your body is specifically working to heat the water. But most reactions in the body are exothermic (hence the reason we're "warm blooded") our basic metabolic reactions produce heat (cellular respiration which makes ATP) and the water will be heated by the heat expelled during those reactions. If you want to use cold to "increase your metabolism" go sit in a walk in freezer or dunk yourself in an ice bath. Then your body will do work to heat itself back to the appropriate temperature (like shivering).0 -

Any second now there should be a thread about how many calories you burn by sitting in the sauna.0 -

OH SNAP! I just had a great idea, dip your body into hot ice - it's hot so ur body gotta cool u down and its cold so ur body gotta warm u up = 200% more calories burned

I'd question that as just the natural heat dissipation would heat up the water. Hold a sip of cold water in your mouth, and you notice it heat up. You could probably do an experiment and measure the temp of the water in your mouth for 10secs, 30secs, 60secs and I bet it would be body temperature. I don't think this is requiring any calorie expenditure. If that was the case Americans would be thin because we prefer cold beverages unlike the rest of the world which generally chooses hot beverage.0 -
Go to Trader Joe's if you're near one, they have loads of different kinds.

ETA: What I'm really saying is that the quality, roast and flavor of the coffee can make a very big difference.

I have used the C4 before I just wasn't sure if the PWO was something different. it works but it didn't sustain on the longs runs. I have been on the Cardio Igniter for about 4 months and I am trying to cycle off of it so maybe i can feel it again. But I will keep looking

Gotcha. I will look into some better roasts. I am sure that will help with flavor.0 -

How does burning 37 calories boost one's metabolism? How do you define "boosting metabolism"?[/quote]
I define boosting metabolism as reactions that occur in living organisms. I think everyone is missing the point that while 37 calories seems small add it up over a year. I drink over a gallon per day so around 3.7 liters thats over 120 calories i burn per day or 46,000 calories per year.
A study published in the Journal of Clinical Endocrinology and Metabolism found that drinking water (about 17oz) increases metabolic rate by 30 percent in healthy men and women.0
