I did a bulk from November thought to February and put a few kg of fat on. When I was ready to start cutting, I had an accident – came off my bike I was using for cardio. I injured my ankle pretty bad and so couldnt exercise, and pigged out for a couple of months on beer and crap food, and ended up putting on in total about 10kg of fat. Come early May I was disguseted with myself and thinking how I could have looked if I had lost my fat – I was still working upper body but lower and cardio was out of the window, then I came up with the method that meant I lost 20lb of fat in 6 weeks by replacing a meal and snacks with Ice.Everyone is overcomplicating weight loss. I kept seeing people arguing about calories, macros, meal timing, fasting and a load of other bollocks, so I tried something revolutionary:I replaced one meal a day and all my snacks with ice. Not ice cream/sorbet/frozen yoghurt or anything like that. Actual ice.The logic is simple:1. Ice has zero calories, so it stops me eating calorie-containing food.2. Your body has to warm the ice back up to body temperature, meaning you burn extra energy just by eating it.I calculated it:15lb of ice per day = about 6.8kgHeating ice from 0°C to body temperature requires:Melting the ice: ~334 kJ/kgWarming the water to 37°C: ~155 kJ/kgTotal: ~489 kJ/kgThat is about 117 calories per kg of ice.
6.8kg × 117 calories = around 800 calories burned per day just from eating iceOver 6 weeks:800 × 42 days = 33,600 caloriesSince 1lb of fat is roughly 3,500 calories:33,600 ÷ 3,500 = about 9.5lb of fat lost from the ice aloneThen add in the fact that I replaced a meal and snacks, saving another ~700–900 calories per day:Another 30,000+ calories saved.Total deficit:≈ 65,000–70,000 caloriesThat works out at roughly 10kg of fat lost in 6 weeks.People are spending hundreds on supplements when the answer has been sitting in their freezer all along.The future of fat loss is not intermittent fasting. It is intermittent freezing.
So you're eating normally but just having a load of ice water?
>>77397522Checked. No - one meal a day less and 15lb of crushed ice, not water. You wouldnt use as many calories drinking water, and with the ice, even when its crushed you still chew it so it feels like you are eating.
>>77397530>15lb of crushed iceAutism like this is why I keep coming to /fit/
>>77397530Should you not be adding in some electrolytes at least? You're basically ice water fasting? I guess the thermic effect of ice contributes to increased weight loss but what's your current and goal weigjt?
>>77397515>>77397517Sounds like a good way to kill yourself.
>>77397609I am at 96kg probably get down to 93kg, injury pretty much healed and working out legs again.
>>77397609agree on electrolytes, if removing an entire meal and adding 6.8 liters (1.8 gallons) of water to piss em out. it's probably not water poisoning level, just should at least be wary of it>>77397530are you worried about teeth issues from chewing all this ice? i don't know if it's really as bad as my mom and childhood dentist made it out to be, but this is just a fuckton of it to do
>>77397515The math seems to check out, but you could just like walk a mile and not eat a kilo of ice.

>>77397515>>77397517Eating 15 pounds of ice per day would require a strenuous amount of effort. The amount of chewing alone that this would require would be far in excess of a typical person's ability to tolerate. Even at a rate of eating 1 pound of solid ice per hour, it would take 15 hours of nonstop chewing to get through the entire 15 pounds. Assuming you were making the ice through ice trays, it would require consuming 60-100 trays of ice per day.Just to make and store the ice would be a considerable logistical challenge. Even if you bought the ice from a store, you would not be able to economically store it for long periods of time. Not to mention that either method would result in a not insignificant amount of money or energy spent, either through making the ice at home or buying it from a retailer. Eating this volume of ice would likely cause considerable damage to the teeth, especially to the enamel. It would quickly become uncomfortable due to the temperature difference between the frozen ice and the normal temperature of your mouth. You could not simply wait for the ice to melt either, because melted ice requires significantly fewer calories for your body to heat up in comparison to solid ice, which would make the process significantly less efficient for weight loss. Consuming such a large volume of water would significantly reduce the number of electrolytes in your body, as well as causing excessive urination. You would spend the entire waking day chewing ice, and a large percentage of the day urinating.Finally, such a large and excessive amount of ice would displace most of the necessary nutrients in your diet, resulting in a large amount of hunger with little nutritional value, making it unsustainable for consistent weight loss.A much more practical routine would simply swap out added calories from drinks (average 500 calories saved per day) plus a 60 minute brisk walk (closer to 30 minutes for a jog or run).
