lose 10.7 lbs just by drinking ice-cold water

Hi guys.
A proper hydration is essential to everyone, and the best supplement to stay hydrated whether you are trying to lose weight or just keep it off is water '' the most under appreciated fluid '' but if you drink ice-cold water you can add another beneficial role : lose extra weight and stay hydrated. actually if the body wants to use that ice-cold water it must be body temperature so it use energy to get it warm, that energy is approximately 100c per day, 705 per week, 2850 per month, 33,023 per year that's 10,7 lbs per year.isn't that wonderful two birds with one stone.

100 calories or Calories (KCalories in other parts of the world)? If it's the former, that would be 1/10th of what we know as a Calorie.

1 Calorie is the energy required to increase the temperature of 1 liter of water by 1° C. Assuming ice-cold water is about 4°C cold, getting it to body temperature at 37°C would take 33 Calories. You'd have to drink 3 liters of ice water to burn 100 Calories. But that's not counting that if you don't do that you would still have to drink something and no matter what it is it needs energy to heat up.

Nope does not work like that or all of us would be thin

takinchi

actually it does, of course it depends on your BMR '' basal metabolic rate''

it is approximately 11g loss per 100 cal, but i think it is kcal but we commonly use calories instead of kilo calories

The thing is, it's factored into calorie targets...all TEF is.

indeed, scientifically speaking our Body burn calories during rest to build tissues and also digestion and it is 10%of the total caloric intake

I call BS all those years I drank ice water and never lost anything additional while drinking it. I dont drink it iced now and lost weight @ the same rate as when I did drink it. I drank a lot of ice water too.

Actually it's less than that if you based it on 8 eight ounce glasses of water a day. So about 70 calories. It still adds up if done over a year and no other overage happens, but I'm sure many blow that calorie burn by the time the holidays roll around.

Great! I'll reach my goal weight by the fall of 2023.

This study says 1/2 liter of ice water burned 4 calories.

Cooling the water before drinking only stimulated a small thermogenic response, well below the theoretical energy cost of warming the water to body temperature.
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/16822824

That's probably because the body's first response to cold isn't to generate new heat (which is costly) but to conserve the heat it already has (by reducing blood flow to the skin & extremities.
