For anyone trying to lose weight, this question is an exciting one! If you simply want to know if your body burns calories warming up the water, the answer is yes. But if you want to know if drinking a lot of ice water can help you lose weight, or keep weight off, this yes needs to be qualified with some calculations.

First of all, calories are case-sensitive. There are calories and then there are Calories. Calories with a big c are the ones used to describe the amount of energy contained in foods. A calorie with a little c is defined as the amount of energy it takes to raise the temperature of 1 gram of water 1 degree Celsius. What most people think of as a Calorie is actually a kilo-calorie: It takes one Calorie to raise the temperature of 1 kilogram of water 1 degree Celsius. So when you drink a 140-Calorie can of cola, you are ingesting 140,000 calories. There is no cause for alarm, because the conversion applies across the board. When you burn 100 Calories jogging a mile, you are burning 100,000 calories.

So, considering that the definition of a calorie is based on raising the temperature of water, it is safe to say that your body burns calories when it has to raise the temperature of ice water to your body temperature. And unless your urine is coming out ice cold, your body must be raising the temperature of the water. So calories are being burned.

Let's figure out exactly what you're burning when you drink a 16-ounce (0.5 liter) glass of ice water:

* The temperature of ice water can be estimated at zero degrees Celsius.
* Body temperature can be estimated at 37 degrees Celsius.
* It takes 1 calorie to raise 1 gram of water 1 degree Celsius.
* There are 473.18 grams in 16 fluid ounces of water.

So in the case of a 16-ounce glass of ice water, your body must raise the temperature of 473.18 grams of water from zero to 37 degrees C. In doing so, your body burns 17,508 calories. But that's calories with a little c. Your body only burns 17.5 Calories, and in the grand scheme of a 2,000-Calorie diet, that 17.5 isn't very significant.

But let's say you adhere to the eight 8-ounce glasses of water a day nutritional recommendation. In 64 ounces of water, there are 1,892.72 grams. So to warm up all that water in the course of a day, your body burns 70,030 calories, or 70 Calories. And over time, that 70 Calories a day adds up. So, while you definitely shouldn't depend on ice water consumption to replace exercise or a healthy diet, drinking cold water instead of warm water does, in fact, burn some extra Calories!
You certainly can.

Water has 0 calories and can be filling.

If you drink at least 8 cups a day, you will eat less!
Yes, on condition of from the no eating the fried food .
Not by drinking water alone or substituting water for meals. Yes drinking ice cold water can boost your metabolism. Make sure to get your daily reccomended water amount. You will know you are getting enough water if you pee isn't yellow or like apple juice color.. (sounds gross but true) Also, it can be a health risk to over drink water as well. Typically it is 8 glasses of water a day... Also, the drink a glass of water before you eat trick or keep drinking water every other bite doesn't work entirely.. sure it will make you feel fuller faster, but you need to incorporate saliva into your food to properly digest, actually taking the time to properly chew your food is better than taking it with gulps of water... And also if you are doing cardio exercising or running, it is best to add some salt to the water you drink and not to drink soo much while exercising... it can give you a headache or feel light headed or sick if you intake more than you are sweating out.
with a proper diet, yes
