The girl I sit next to at work has stated that apparently hot water helps you trim down? Especially if you're feeling bloated after a heavy carb meal (her words were that it "burns" away the fats)? Anyone confirm whether this is true?

That'd be news to me.

You are the first person I have ever heard this from. Nice theory but probably crap. Drinking ice old water can help you burn calories if you are into doing every possible little thing you can do burn every last calorie you can without exercise.

I have heard (from where? who cares) that drinking COLD water will actually help you burn calories as your body needs to warm it up to body temperature and this of course burns (marginal amounts of) calories.

I do exercise, was just feeling bloated after a jacket potato and she said hot water, I advised her she was talking out of her arse and it seems I confirmed it aswell, thanks.

Another idea? Perhaps have 1/2 of the potato and cut the issue off at the pass? So to speak.

:D

I have heard that supposedly drinking hot water (or tea) when it is hot out makes your body have to work harder to cool the water, and that drinking very cold water when it is cold out makes your body work harder to warm the water... both would be to bring the water to body temperature... but I have no idea how many calories you'd actually burn putting this into practice... probably not many :rolleyes: :p

Probably burns as many calories as it took to type out this reply :p

That may be -- I guess it depends on how fast you type? Does your VO2 max apply to typing?
