Room temperature water?!

[popsicle1289]

Can anyone explain what room temperature water is please? Is it different from mineral/pure water? I'm quite confused. Any response would be appreciated. Thanks

room temperature water is any water that has not been heated or cooled down (say for tea *heated* or put in the fridge/freezer *cooled*).

Is there a reason why the water must be room temperature?

I enjoy drinking water, but I really prefer it chilled and have a hard time drinking it at room temp. I filter all my water through a Brita pitcher I keep in my fridge as well, so it's kind of chilled by default.

I'm curious as if drinking it room temp helps in weight loss at all.

There's no official explanation, but our guess is that the purpose of the water is functional, minimal hydration, plus helping you to avoid choking on the banana.

Drinking, of water or anything else in this diet, is not supposed to be enjoyable. In the U.S. giant beverages are the norm, and people use them to "wash down" their food. Just watch the annual Nathan's contest for an extreme example. If you need to wash down your food, you're trying to eat too much of it, and you should probably stop eating.

If you like cold water, you can drink it between meals.
