We all know that drinking water is good for you, but can it also help you take off the pounds? Yes if it’s ice water. If you drink an eight ounce glass of ice cold water, your body burns up 25 calories to get its temperature back to normal. If you drink only 4 glasses of ice water a day, you’ll lose 12 pounds in a year.
Of course it doesn't have to be ice water, it could be any ice cold liquid that doesn't have any calories. It's best to stay away from beverages with caffeine and sodium as well. If you have a tendency towards bloating limit the amount of carbonated beverages you consume.

Eight ounces is one cup. One quart is equal to four cups or servings. Two easy ways to make sure you drink your allotment is to fill a quart size pitcher to the brim with ice and then fill with water. By the time all the ice melts you'll have consumed the four glasses. Another way is to buy 12 ounce water bottles and keep them in the refrigerator. Finish three of these bottles and you've made your goal. If you work in an office, invest in a thermos or insulated pitcher, you can fill with ice and water and keep on your desk.
An extra advantage of drinking water is that it flushes toxins from your system.
