At work, one of my coworkers was sipping on hot water. I asked why. She said she was on a "diet" and that warm/hot water was supposed to contract her stomach muscles so she couldn't eat as much..Is this bogus or what?

It's bogus.

Other Answers:
well i drink hot water early in morning for two reasons
1) its light on throat .
2) it washes off all in ur stomach and makes pressure

The warm water will only give a fuller feeling at meal times. When a large amount of warm water is taken in the morning, it can have a cleansing effect.

Ice water will cause the stomach to contract so that it can not hold as much.

Self control is the best diet agent. If you drink hot or warm water, it reduces your food intake, because it fills your stomach. Your body thinks that you have eaten food and stops hunger pangs. That is the way it helps loose weight not by contracting stomach muscles.
There is also a theory that, if your drink hot water or warm water, your sweat and loose water that way and weight. It is of course a "theory".

Its bogus, water is the same whether you drink it hot, cold or luke warm.
