Cold water diet?

Thumbing through a very tabloid-ish magazine the other day, I came across an spread promising to reveal the secret behind Mel B’s weight loss. Here’s the deal: Ex-Spice Girl Mel gave birth a mere few months ago to Eddie Murphy’s baby, got married to someone else a short while later and is now competing on Dancing with the Stars looking very fit and in-shape.

So how did she do it? She claims to hate ‘dieting’, and swears that drinking cold water gave her the body of her dreams, considering your body burns calories trying to warm the water up. that sounds a bit hokey whether you ask me. Celebrity Diet Doctor recently looked into her so-called diet trick, and he insists that while theoretically, that additional calorie burn does happen when you have your water ice-cold,

it would only really lead to a 2 or 3 pound weight loss per year at best.

Still, drinking water is urgent, so whether you want to drink it ice-cold, go for it. However, I will stick to water at a room temperature in the interest of my sensitive teeth.
