try this trick

As far as the actual ice concept. I switch from mountain dew to
ice
water 2 years ago. You would think I would have lost weight since
the
mountain dew was high in calories and sugar. But I didn't really
see
any weight loss. A few pounds initially, but that was it.

I also find that puzzling. Not that I've much experience with
sugared sodas.

I find that with 45 minutes of daily vigorous exercise, I lose weight
pretty easily too (2lb a week without a change in diet).

However, losing weight *without* the 45 minute daily vigor can be a
challenge (not impossible, but takes much more effort and attention to
diet).

I have an active life style (probably walk about about 40-60 minutes a
day) but many people, like myself, just aren't willing to add another
hour on top of that (though I do also strength train 2-3 times per
week)

My personal reasons (for not wanting to add more exercise) a
1) I'd rather spend the time doing something else
2) I'm not sure it's sustainable for most people in the long run
3) increased free radical production

I know your tip isn't meant to take the emphasis off of diet, but I
just wanted to make the extra point that IMHO, exercise is not a 'get
out of jail free' card for poor eating habits.

I work very hard to stay this way. Excersise daily (and I'm talking breaking
sweat and at least 45 minutes) I try to eat healty during the week. Weekends
all bets are off. Do this it helps. Drink water lots of it and alway add ice
cubes. Your body burns 300 calories a day to metabolize 64 oz of ice water.
The water had to be brought down to the right tempeture for digestion and this
burns calories. So remember the ice. It also speeds of the metabolisiom win
win situation. Good luck.

Yes, in my case it's true.
