Is eating ice good for weight loss?

Question

When I'm stressed or bored, I sometimes chew on ice cubes. My friend joked it's a great way to 'eat' without calories for weight loss. Is eating ice good for weight loss, or can it be harmful?

I completely understand why you might ask this because we get desperate to try anything when trying to lose weight. But please don't do this, eating ice doesn't burn calories and it will only hurt your teeth and throat.

I barely get four hours of sleep, and reading this made me rub my eyes twice. Eating ice for weight loss? Save your teeth, buddy, and just drink regular water instead.

As someone managing high blood pressure, I have learned that real weight loss only comes from diet control and regular walking. Strange habits like chewing ice won't help and might indicate nutritional deficiencies. Please get your regular health checkup done.

I know how exhausting the pressure to lose weight can be, making us consider even strange ideas. But chewing ice won't help you burn fat and might actually mean you are deficient in iron. Take care of yourself.

I go to Apollo Hospital for my checkups, and my doctor told me that extreme cravings for chewing ice usually point to severe anemia. Please get your blood counts checked by a doctor instead of trying this.

Rahul Verma · Answer

No, eating ice does not help with weight loss at all. It is just a myth and can harm your teeth.

I have tried every weight loss trick in the book, from jeera water to fasting. Eating ice is definitely not a solution and it can cause severe sensitivity in your gums. Stick to warm water with lemon instead.
