A different way to think about calories.
A different way to think about calories.
Ice doesn't stay frozen for long once you've ingested it.
Your body supplies the heat needed to melt it.
That takes energy.
That energy has to come from somewhere.

As a gastroenterologist, Dr. Weiner spent decades treating patients with obesity and digestive disorders.
One evening, while enjoying an Italian ice, he noticed something that didn't seem quite right.
The nutrition label accounted for the calories in the ingredients.
It didn't account for the energy required to melt the ice.
That simple observation became the foundation of The Ice Diet.
Decades spent treating patients with obesity and digestive disorders inspired the question that became the Ice Diet.
Dr. Weiner's original observation was published in the Annals of Internal Medicine in 2010.
National speaker, clinical professor, and author/editor of more than 300 scholarly medical publications.
