Water…the Secret Calorie Burner!

Water specifically is not a calorie burner. However, COLD WATER is! Cold water has to be heated to body temperature to be absorbed into the cells of the body. The body has to expend calories to heat the water. This is the definition of what a calorie is in the first place. This translates into a few things.

1. Water has no calories, so you do not have to do any extra work or exercise to burn it off.

2. Cold water has a net increase in calorie burn which results in loss of weight.

Keep in mind that this does not replace eating properly. The amount of calories burned is not much, but can result in 3-5 pounds per year if done consistently.

So if you want to loose a few extra pounds this year, start drinking COLD water.
