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.2

sorta kinda...but not really...17 -

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.8 -
Nope does not work like that or all of us would be thin8

actually it does, of course it depends on your BMR '' basal metabolic rate''23

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.5

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.Hi guys.

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.

This isn’t true. As someone who drinks 60-80oz of water a day, usually iced, I feel confident saying that. I have had to count calories and work for every pound lost.4

I've heard the claim before, so I worked out the math.
1 small "c" calorie is the energy required to raise 1 g of water 1 degree C.
Let's assume that the water is at 0 C and that body temperature is 40 C.
Luckily, water is 1 g/ml, so we'll work with the fairly easy quantity of 1 liter, weighing 1 kg.
Warming 1 kg of water from 0 to 40 C requires (1000 g)*(40 C)*(1 cal/(g-C))=40,000 cal = 40 kcal or 40 Cal.
So in short, drinking 1 liter of ice water will require approximately 40 kcal. This is great, to be sure, but it's going to be in the noise for almost everyone. Most of us already drink cold drinks, so we would have to up our consumption considerably to get any noticeable benefit.
I think the link @Cherimoose is interesting. I didn't dig into it, but I do wonder how the authors claim that the beverages were in fact heated to room temperature? Are they implying that other energy expenses were reduced to provide the energy to maintain body temperature?2 -

So my ice cold beer(Sierra Nevada’s Tropical Torpedo) in which I am drinking at this moment could be considered a light beer. Awesome!12 -
That sounds good on paper. In reality, there are many other variables which makes such an outcome virtually impossible.1

Maybe we should just ice all of our food and eat it super cold too, to lose more weight! Yeah, that's the ticket.3

This process is already part of the BMR calculation (the function that the BMR calculation tries to emulate). It is not something extra that you would gain benefit from.
If you tried to drink extra water above the recommended amount, this is what they call majoring in the minors. You are not getting any significant benefit from doing this and your time would be better spent doing other things.
The OP is also off by an order of magnitude.2 -
But think of all the calories you get from walking to and from the bathroom constantly!5

Lol, you'd honestly burn more calories just carrying it around all day.
