cold water for fat burning

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.

Sitting on your ass will do nothing for fat loss. Whether hot or cold. Instead, swim a couple laps around the pool. You might be suprised what a little cardio will do for you.
 
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.

Godspeed
 
interesting .. i thought the cold exposure had to be longer than 30 minutes for the fat burning to be very noticable in the long run.
 
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).
