Default Drinking ice cold water to lose weight?

Someone told me today that as part of their fitness regime, they drink a couple of litres of ice cold water each day as it lowers your body temperature so you expend calories in warming yourself back up again. Has anyone heard of this before?
Sorry, this should probably have been put in diet forum

yeah I have actually heard of that and it sort of makes sense. But I have also found out that if I make sure to drink a big glass of water before every meal I end up eating less because I am full faster.

Ice cold beverages do burn calories while the body is trying to warm up, but I don't think it's in any real significant amount

I heard the opposite, I heard that ice water allows you to put on weight because of the reaction it has on the cells, it kinda prevent them from being as active as they should

Yes, I have heard that supermodels drink ice cold water to help their slimming regime! I drink water whenever I feel hungry, and a lot of the time it actually stops me wanting food!

that is a good trick, fluids can certainly make you feel full and eliminate the desire to eat food

Sometime ago, I was taking a diet pill where I was instructed to drink two cups of water before lunch, I followed the instructions keenly, I didn't lose weight, in fact I think I gained a few pounds. I have never rtied the ice water bit though.

I have never heard of the ice cold water but I have heard that if you drink a big glass of water before eating you will fill up faster. Water for some reason tends to make me nauseous though.

What about sucking on ice cubes? I've heard of people doing this to lose weight as well.

I've heard that it helps and that it does burn calories and just drinking water in general helps you lose weight. So yeah I would say it would be a sufficent amount of calories would be lost by drinking ice cold water.
