Got a goofier one for you, 21 years ago, I built our stone house, with help of course . Each day at lunch, the stone mason and I would go into town for fast food. I got a Burger King Angus burger and a small fry. Drank water. Gave half the fries to my 2 dogs. In 2 weeks , I put on 5 pounds. I switched to a bowl of ice cream at lunch. In a week, I dropped the 5 pounds.

One winter in upstate NY - probably about 20 years ago now - my FIL was having to shovel his driveway on an almost daily basis. Well, by the time winter was over, he had dropped 10 pounds. Again. No other dietary changes, just a daily dose of physical activity. It made an impression on me. Same thing happened when he took on building a retaining wall in his yard.
The Lent I gave up drinking Coke was probably 20 years ago now and I can't even take a swallow of the stuff now. Once you lose the taste - it's gone.
Just curious, why don't you add ice? My mom doesn't like drinking water at all, but adds lots of ice to everything. I was happy about this because I thought that all the ice would help with hydration, no?
Anything below body temperature requires the body to spend energy to heat the food or liquid. Energy that an be used for better purposes. Been told this, and read this, a number of places.
Yes, true. Many years ago, experts suggested people trying to lose weight put ice in their drinks so as to force them to use more energy to warm it up!

Yup. Same with sugar in coffee. We drink Zero sodas. And don't add ice to anything. Should have mentioned that in the protocols.
