Does Drinking Ice Water Burn Calories?

I’ve heard that drinking ice water will make you lose calories, but is this true?

When drinking ice water, the body must take the cold water and raise the temperature until the water temperature is the same as the rest of the body’s temperature; this requires energy from your body.

So yes, drinking ice water burns calories. A normal glass of ice cold water will burn about 8 calories..not much right? It would take about 435 glasses of ice cold water to take one pound off your body. So, solely drinking ice water is not a practical approach to weight loss. But every little bit helps in weight loss, so I suggest you drink ice cold water with your healthy meals and exercise to insure great results.
