With all due respect that makes zero sense. Any act of eating or drinking regardless of temperature uses calories. Water, cold, hot, luke warm doesn't matter has zero calories, you are expending calories (albeit minimal calories) to drink it technically creating (a very tiny) deficit. If anything it would have a positive effect especially if you are constantly drinking water. I'm not a math genius but the idea that is slows your metabolism is ridiculous.
This is what I've heard.
It would stand to reason that ICE cream burns calories too, no?
I HATE iced water, not because it makes me cold, but because I just find it very unpleasant to drink.Actually, I only drink water lukewarm/room temperature to slightly warm. I know I am a freak! Drinking cold water makes me so cold. Anyone else?
I always drink room temp water. However, if I put any flavoring in it, it must be very cold...the colder, the better. 
This is why I actually like drinking cold, cold diet root beer...there's something about root beer that always makes me feel way more full than water or even regular diet soda. Maybe it has bigger fizzies. 
The body processes thirst as hunger, and therefore you think you are hungry, when you may be only thirsty.
In the doctors defense, my mother claims her doctor tells her all kinds of insane things. Like she is to only eat bacon for breakfast. Yeah, a woman who has had a sextuple bypass is only to eat bacon for breakfast I'll believe your doctor told you that.
Setting aside the fact that my mother is a socipathic liar it's more likely the doctor told her it was okay to eat bacon at breakfast every once in awhile and she translated that to suit what she wanted to do.In the doctors defense, my mother claims her doctor tells her all kinds of insane things.

I'm thinking maybe the same may have happened with the OP's mother. (but rather a misunderstanding then choosing to hear what she wants to hear)
Doctor:"It looks like you've put on a couple of pounds."
Patient:"You know I filled up on ice water on the way over here."
Doctor: "Well, that could do it."
Translation for doctor=Filling up on water before being weighed could show up as a couple pounds.
Translation for patient=Drinking ice water makes you gain weight!
Of course I have no idea if that's what happened but I wouldn't call a doctor incompetent if I didn't hear him say it myself.
My mom is always coming up with some crazy stuff the doctor told her. I know she just misunderstands things. She does it with other people too. 
No, in order for our mothers to be the same person she would have to make it up or twist it her way not just misunderstand.I think we have the same mother.
My mom is a whole 'nother thread all on her own, trust me.
What was the name of the Indian doctor/therapist that used to be on Oprah years ago?
I saw a show with him where he said it was healthier to drink room temp beverages, because your body wastes too much energy getting very cold or very warm liquids to body temperature.I thought it was crazy then, and I still think it is crazy!
OP- I think it is time for your mom to look for a new doctor (and I use that term loosely!)...

Well I'm sitting here eating some bacon and drinking ice water, I'm thinking maybe they will balance each other out. You know the ice water will burn all the calories of the bacon I'm eating. It's worth a shot!
Actually, I only drink water lukewarm/room temperature to slightly warm. I know I am a freak! Drinking cold water makes me so cold. Anyone else?
