Can sucking ice cubes make you gain weight?

Question

I have been told that sucking ice cubes make you gain weight around the stomach area. Recently I have notice that my stomach is always bloated. Many times, I promised myself to stop, but this last one or two days then I back at it again.

Answer 1

water has no calories......ice is frozen water.  Unless you have something caloric in the water (juice, etc) it is impossible to gain weight from eating ice cubes.  

Answer 2

If the ice cube happens to be made with Crisco then maybe...

Answer 3

if sucking ice cubes makes you gain weight then drinking water must too

so no i dont think they can

Answer 4

no its a myth........

Answer 5

Well I wouldn't think so, because ice cubes are made out of water so it wouldn't really be any different than drinking water.

Answer 6

No it cant make you gain weight but i think it may be yourf stomache is bloated with air because of the sucking.

Answer 7

Not unless you eat about 5 lbs of them,, then you's gain water weight but that's it.  Ice is water and cannot make fat

Answer 8

no actully somebody [a grown up] said that drinking water makes you loose weight and ice is just frozen water

Answer 9

Answer 10

Lets see water has 0 fat 0 calories0 , and it makes you fat because? Its water that is frozen?

Answer 11

No -- sucking ice cubes cannot, and will not make you gain wait ........unless you've done something to the ice cubes, like freeze fruit juice or sweet water or tea rather than just plain ol ice.

Water typically reduces bloating, and helps curve appetite -- so it should actually help you *loose* wait -- though, if you have a high sodium diet, that causes you to pretty much turn into a sponge - so if you have high sodium diet + the extra water/ice it could make you bloat..........but bloating isn't weight gain, it's water retention, which usually happens from dehydration (even if you dont feel thirsty)

Try cutting back on salty foods and see if that helps any --- if it doesnt, try adding more water  (actually DRINKING it, not sucking on it frozen lol)  and see if that helps a bit.  

if neither of those is the case, you can go to any grocery/drug store and pick you up a simple diuretic that should help cut down on the bloat.  

Answer 12

Huh?  Unless your sucking on ice cubes made of sugar water how would/could you possibly gain weight from frozen water?  That'ss a pretty funny myth though.

Answer 13

Absolutely not. Water has no calories, and drinking lots of water gets rid of bloating.

Answer 14

Water has no calories, so no

Answer 15

Think about what you just asked. If you burn calories, flipping through the channels on tv and water has no calories.

dont you thinking working your mouth mussels while cause you to lose more calories?
