Please Scroll Down to See Forums Below I am trying to burn off some fat permanently and quickly. Does anyone know if it would help if I were to sit in a really cold pool for a half hour? Does the fact that my body would have to heat up lead to effect fat burning? If anyone knows about this style of fat burning, and how long I should do it for, and at what temperature, and how often, that'd be excellent. Thanks!

Do you use leaches when you get sick too? I can't see any reason why that would lead to fat loss. It would temporarily lower your body temp and hence metabolism. Yes you'd heat back up, but only to normal levels.

WTF?

I think drinking alot of cold water may help. I see what you are getting at- your body would need to produce more heat to keep your temp. stable, thus burning calories. But I don't think it's an effective strategy in the long term.

you'd be better off eating a bottle of hot sauce a day or hey why not try some eca ?

Where did you dig up this idea. You have a pretty good imagination don't you. I think it would work, just make sure the water is just above freezing, like 34 degrees, and sit in it until your skin turns blue. When you get out your metabolism should be super fast. I'm going to do it right now.

I remember reading here earlier a similar question for swimmers. The general consensus was that over time, your body adapts to "surviving" in the colder water by actually increasing body fat. The more body fat there is, the better the insulation and less the body will have to work to keep itself warm. The only way to lose significant body fat while swimming is by doing it in water that is hotter than your body, so atleast 99 degress.

I can only say one thing.... hypothermia. The only thing that happens is that your metabolism slows down to save energy and therefore produces less and less body heat.

As I remember the reasearch indicated that the body slows fat metabalism as a defence against the cold.
Compare the BF%'s of Olympic sprinters and swimmers.
Dan Duchaine had the same idea. Don't know if he figured it out before his death.

Before everyone decides to flame this post, he is actually correct. Lots of research shows that cold temps increase metabolism, mainly through induction of thyroid hormone receptor alterations, 5-deiodinase activity, and uncoupling proteins.
Chronic exposure will, unfortunately, increase the deposition of subcutaneous bodyfat to increase insulation.

I can't believe ony one person actually knew about this.
The fact is that staying immersed in cold water for 30min
burns fat more efficiently than cardio.
I STRESS efficiently here. Cardio burns fat/muscle
while Cold-weather induced BAT thermogenesis
burns just FAT.

justin- very few people reading this post will know what the Polar Bear Club is, but i do (being a Jersey boy), and it's a good question. Unfortunately I don't know the answer (although I suspect it has something to do with excessive alcohol being a reqirement for membership).
well,
In the past I have used an hour of swimming excercises to burn off fat, and it works great..
I think swimming burns off a lot of calories, and that fat you use for insulation gets used to generate heat too.
of course if i swam in a heated pool that may be different, but its not,
well this is just me, though i could be wrong
