During his study he found that by consuming 8 ounces (240gm) of ice water every day, your fat stores will be utilised to bring its water temperature up from 4°C to 37.5°C (body temperature) , therefore causing extra calorie burn.

And in theory this should support you to lose body fat…

For example to bring just 1gm of water to 10°C, your body will have to use 1 calorie. That means to make 240gm of water water to 37.5°C; you will have to burn 8.04 calories.
