Your metabolic rate can be several times higher in a pool or other body of water than it is on land without any exercise at all. Body heat is lost at a much higher rate when you are submerged in water and your body will burn more fuel to maintain core temperature.
This is something fighters do when they’re going extreme weight loss before a weight in. I’m addition to dehydrating themselves and eating clean, they have several different cold exposure methods that causes the body to burn more calories.

So why isn’t “a long cold bath every day” the trendiest weight loss method??

“Cough in my face, I need to lose weight!”
Yes, get sick, increase that body temp, increase that thermogenesis , burn those calories. Don’t be weak.
Because it still isn’t going to make that extra large pizza disappear.
well, it cures ALS at least…
The ALS Ice Bucket Challenge was wildly successful, raising over $200m and leading to identifying 12 genes that play a critical role in ALS

yes, that is indeed what i was referring to
Im still fuckkng amazed that a social media trend for once actually had a good and measurable effect
because then they wouldn’t be able to sell weight loss products and gym memberships
cold plunge is hyped up but idk if its for the weight loss
Google “ice bath”
Because it would be too difficult to monetize that trend, maybe?
Thanks. I’ve had that theory for years, but you just articulated it much better than I could.
