    Where does fat go when you are losing weight? You tinkle it out. So drinking plenty of water does help flush out the fat as you are losing it.

    Nope. That's not what happens at all. See the link provided upthread to learn the actual physiology behind weight loss.

    Being hydrated allows you to perform better so therefore burn more calories during exercise as a consequence.
    In terms of the idea of drinking cold water to help burn calories... there is some logic to it, but I doubt it would make any significant difference in a normal environment.
    People use water loading (drinking heaps of water for several days then suddenly stopping) to do weight cuts in sport but the weight lost is artificial and is put back on asap as it is all due to dehydration.
