the body will burn calories raising the water to body temperature.
This amounts to only about 2 pounds less a year. Still it's not too
bad for just drinking water which we need anyway.

Now, if you substitute water for that, let's say, soft drink (about 150 calories) each day, then you will have saved yourself almost 55,000 calories or about 18 pounds on your frame. That is the good news, the bad news is that you still have to watch what goes into your mouth.

    I have substituted any drinks with water unless I don't have other options then I drink soda. I have been happy with my weight because I have lost a few pounds and feel healthier. I like my water icy cold so I am happy to read that it also helps with the weight loss.
