No, it won't make you put on weight. However, I eat ice too and I've been told to stop by my dentist because it's too hard on my teeth. I've also heard if you crave ice it could be a sign that you have low blood iron.

Sodium makes you gain water weight, not water.  Water actually flushes away water weight.  Drinking cold water can help you burn calories, because it takes calories to bring the water up to your body temp, but green tea has antioxidants that help flush away impurities in your body.  I would use both.

Please don't do that. it's sooo unsafe! I'm also 5'5" and I'm 135 lbs. I'm currently trying to lose 10-15 lbs. Anyway, here's what you SHOULD do with water. Drink a minimum of 8 glasses of water a day. If you drink a lot of water it will help you lose water weight. It sounds quite contradicting to our logic but i'll explain why.\n\nOur body is composed of a lot of % of water and stores it anywhere in our body for future use especially if you only drink a little in a day. But if you constantly drink a lot of water everyday, our body will release the water stored in our body because it will think that it'll never run out of it. Therefore releasing what we call "water weight".\n\nAlso, water can be used as an appetite supressant. Try drinking a glass of water before you eat your meal and you won't eat as much. Replace sodas with water. It can do wonders.\n\nAnd here's another thing, did you know that if you drink ICE COLD water it can actually burn calories? :) This is because it can't be used by our body in its cold state. So our body uses energy to bring it to normal temperature. \n\nSo drink up girl! :) Drink a glass of H2O when you wake up, before meals and after meals and before you go to sleep. :)\n\nOh and I have recently discovered that green tea allows you to burn 80 calories a day.\n\nI hope i've been a help.:) Anyway, since you're trying to lose weight as I am, we can both help each other as we reach our goal weights. We can be weight loss buddies through email or yahoo messenger. If you want to of course. :) my yahoo id is michele_mai.\n\nGood luck in trying to lose weight! I sure am gonna need it. ;)

No your not, don't take that stuff... is it worth screwing yourself over in the long run... just gain weight the old fashion way... eat eat eat and when you cant eat any more, EAT... eat every chance you can like eight meals a day... they don't even have to be big... and then if you really wanna gain weight you will because you will stick with it!!

Well, i heard this on oprah.  If you trying to gain weight go on  diet for a little bit and then suddenly stop.  The shock will cause you body to pack on some extra pounds.

You gain weight whenever you eat anything.

No, because it depends on WHAT you eat.  Fats, carbohydrates and proteins all have different caloric values. \n\nYou may be one pound heavier INITIALLY after eating one pound of food but once your body starts breaking down everything the actual contents of the food will dictate weight gain.  Remember that 1 pound is equal to 3500 calories.  So it all depends on what you eat.\n\nOne pound of raw vegetables does not equal one pound of sweets.  The pound of sweets has a much higher caloric value and will contribute to the 3500 threshold needed for weight gain of another pound.  Does that make sense?

The SAFER way to gain weight is to eat slightly larger porportions of the food you eat now. By increasing your calorie intake, you will gain some weight, but not a lot like eating a bunch of junk food and sitting around will do.

No, but it will help you to gain muscle mass.\nThe only way to lose weight is to expend more calories than you take in, and this can only be accomplished with diet and/or exercise.

DONT DO IT!\nYou would lose weight but as soon as you started eating again you would put on every last ounce and more.  The body would store all it could so you would be worse off!

You don't HAVE to gain, but it's common to put on about 10 pounds.  It's not because you quit that you gain, it's usually because you feel the need to have something in your mouth!  Try having a lot of low-cal snacks around, like carrot sticks and celery.  You'll be fine.  Congratulations for quitting!

Only water weight, which means your going to gain it right back as Soon as you drink anything...so no. Sorry. Would be nice though wouldn't it? \nInteresting note that kinda contradicts the whole sauna thing: Drinking cold water burns slightly more calories then drinking warm or room temperture water because your body has to use energy to heat it up and maitain your overall body temperature. That's key, your body has to use more energy then it takes in to loose weight. You aren't using any energy in a suana. Just sweating off water weight.

Just make sure the large amount you drink is not A COLD GLASS OF WATER. They are now saying that cold water causes what you've eaten to solidify! Warm water is now the way to go!

eating ice damages the enamel on your teeth or can break a tooth.  The ice turn into water and doesn't change your body.  There have been some studies suggesting a deficiency of a vitamin or mineral in the body but I think it is mostly habit.

Don't pay too much attention to the advice the previous posters gave you--they're suggesting ways of gaining weight that way is incredibly unhealthy. Sure, fast food and ice cream will make you fatter, but eating those kinds of foods is detrimental to your overall well-being. If you want to gain weight AND stay healthy while doing it, eat bigger portions of calorie-rich and nutritional meals. Exercise less, but don't cut it out of your routine completely. If you snack throughout the day, that's actually causing your metabolism to work more than it would if you ate three separate meals.
