10 Glasses of Water = 300 Burned Calories?

Question

if you drink 10 big glasses of water a day... will it really make you burn 300 calories? it was in a movie i saw called thirteen i didnt know if it was true.

Answer 1

That doesnt sound true but water can make you feel full if you drink enough, so you wont want to eat as much.

Answer 2

This is kind of a tricky question, but here goes.
All matter has a property called its specific heat, the amount of energy it takes to raise one gram of the substance by one degree Celsius. If you drink a liter of ice water, with a lot of ice so that its temp is around freezing, your body will have to expend energy to heat that water up to body temperature. This means the water has to go from 0 degrees Celsius to 37 degrees Celsius. To change the temp of 1000 grams of water ( a liter) your body will have to burn a few dozen calories (thirty-seven to be exact). So if you drank ten big glasses of water a day,and that water was really cold, you could burn three hundred calories from simply drinking the water.
Just be careful not to drink so much that you start messing with your body's electrolyte balance. Not the most effective way to lose weight, though, more of an interesting scientific fact.

Don't worry about the variables in this equation, just know that it is simple scientific fact that your body has to give up heat to the water. When you lose heat, you have to replace it by burning calories. So whatever the variables are, just take it that you will burn calories by drinking cold water.

Answer 3

The proposition is absurd.

Eat only when hungry and eat/drink only three times a day. Only exception is for diabetics. Water can of course be taken. Chew each morsel 32 times so that ur brain gets signal that u have had enough. Take regular exercises and brisk walks. U will loose/gain gracefully and attain the required weight in reasonable time period.

Answer 4

not at all, there are far to many variables in the equation.
