Short answer: kinda. Long answer: don’t bet your health on it.
This whole “ice diet” idea came from Dr. Brian Weiner, who said eating ice forces your body to burn extra energy to heat it up. And technically, yeah—it does. A kilo of ice might burn ~117 calories. But let’s be real: that’s like one cookie.
What the ice diet does do:
Gives you a sense of fullness.
Helps you avoid snacking (sometimes).
Adds a quirky twist to staying hydrated.
What it doesn’t do:
Replace proper nutrition.
Build muscle.
Provide long-term results.
Experts say it might be helpful as a tiny supplement, but not a real weight loss plan. Want a better route? Cut junk food, eat real meals, move your body, repeat.
Bonus tip: If you still wanna nibble on something cold, get a nugget ice maker—chewy, satisfying, and easier on your teeth.
