Cold Prompts Browning of Fat Tissue; Obesity Blunts Response
""Humans seem to respond to falls in temperature by switching on genes that generate heat and convert white fat to beige fat, the first step towards the "browning" of adipose tissue.""

""The cold compress works by triggering the body into turning flabby white fat into calorie burning ‘beige’ fat.
Humans have two types of fat tissue. White fat is the type of fat we associate with chubby stomachs and hips and which circulates in the blood to fuel muscle.
Alternatively, brown fat is used by the body to generate heat. The colder you become, the more brown fat disappears.
Now scientists have discovered that when white fat gets very cold it can turn into a kind of brown fat, which researchers have dubbed ‘beige’
And beige fat can burn away to generate heat.""

I has tried this, it's a bullshit. Not works. No results only suffering and pain. The drinking of cold cold water have little effect, but he is too scanty. I say this based on personal experience.
Oh man you're extreme, to try these rigid methods =)
I seen something like that on dr. Oz, it was a machine or something that you walked into and they put a device on your stomach it was supposed to freeze fat off or something like that, I can't really remember, it was from like last year.
Apologies on my half, I didn't mean my post to come off as potential hyperbole.
Just genuinely curious if anyone has any first hand experience whether that be cold rooms, cold water submersion or simply ice packs
ive read about this myself, multiple studies on it showing its effectivness.
TronIf cold caused you to be skinny then people in Alaska would be anorexic...cold doesn't make you lose fat..diet and exercise does...that theory sounds retarded.
Bro, those people are from alaska, they know how cold it is and when they go outside theyre prepared for it. Theyre not walking outside naked lol. I put my jacket on in the winter and im still cold outside, im sure its the same up there, but i wear a jacket, they were a parka, and under that thermals etc etc. The studies legit, theres many more showing the same results.
