Answers: is it true that if you drink ALOT of ice cold water, you will burn fat? i heard something like this the other day.

i heard it burns a few calories, only if its cold water.
but i don't know if its proven to be true or not.

pretty unlikely.
you need to regulate your eating habits,
and your habits need to be healthy.
you should keep your fluids up with water though.
but you definately won't burn fat with only water.
excersize and diet will be your best bet.

nope. you will gain water weight and water is good for you.

Fresh fruit and whole gain breads will help you feel full longer. Forget the "all carbs are bad" idea, just lay off white bread/rolls, white rice and non-whole grain pasta. One thing that will help you lose weight is SNACKS! Yes, a piece of fruit or a (low sugar) yogurt or (low sugar) granola type bar mid morning and afternoon will help you not munch on chips and stuff. Don't skip breakfast.
Increasing your water consumption would be good. Go for lean meats and remember that according to the dietitians a "serving" of meat is 4 ounces... about the side of a normal deck of playing cards. So watch your portions and fill up on fruits and vegetables.

u do burn more calories with ice cold water compared to regular water, because your body has to heat the cold to ur body temperature. but its not like the fat is gonna fall off its only a little bit more calories burned with ice cold compared to normal

it doesn't burn fat..ur body just uses more energy to process cold water than room temperature..thereby burning calories..it's not that effective in weightloss though..it only uses 2 or 3 calories..sleeping burns more calories than drinking ice water
