Drinking ice-cold water makes your body burn calories. When you drink ice water, your body burns calories by raising the temperature of the water to your body temperature.

Drinking an 8-ounce cup of ice-cold water burns 8 calories. That’s not much, but if you drink 8 glasses of ice water a day, it adds up. 8 glasses of ice water at 8 calories each = 64 extra calories burned per day!

If you don’t mind drinking ice water, it’s a very easy way to burn those 64 extra calories! Over a year, 64 calories burned per day equal 6.5 lbs of lost fat! Yes, you can lose 6.5 lbs per year just by drinking ice water!

Calories Burned By Walking

Filed under: Burning Calories — @ 7:30 am on November 15, 2005

How many calories you burn by walking depends on your walking speed and your weight. The faster you walk, the more calories you burn. Also, the more you weigh, the more calories you burn.

Many treadmills and charts display the averages of calories burned (the averages are usually based on a person who weighs 150 lbs). If you weigh more than 150 lbs, you will burn more calories than displayed value, if you weigh less, you will burn less.

Some exercise machines are smart enough to account for your weight when displaying the calories, but those are few and far between.

Here’s the chart displaying the number of calories burned by walking 1 mile based on your walking speed and your weight (source: About.com):

Weight in Pounds
Speed	Pounds	100	120	140	160	180	200	220
	2.0 mph	65	80	93	105	120	133	145
	2.5 mph	62	74	88	100	112	124	138
	3.0 mph	60	72	83	95	108	120	132
	3.5 mph	59	71	83	93	107	119	130
	4.0 mph	59	70	81	94	105	118	129
	4.5 mph	69	82	97	110	122	138	151
	5.0 mph	77	92	108	123	138	154	169
	6.0 mph	86	99	114	130	147	167	190
	7.0 mph	96	111	128	146	165	187	212
