Which of these would you be willing to do to burn more fat: A – suffer 1-2 hours in a frigid bath filled with 2 pounds of rock-solid ice? B – submerge your face in ice-cold water until your cheeks are numb? C – lug around a vest filled with bone-chilling icepacks that can “burn” your skin? I’ll bet NONE of those sound fun to you… …yet that’s the latest rage on popular Paleo and “bio-hacking” blogs. Not only is this completely insane, new studies show it may backfire and skyrocket your appetite! So I don’t recommend it for anyone… unless you love being freezing cold and very hungry However, there IS something crucially important we can learn from this insanity: It’s a “metabolic recipe” that CAN skyrocket the rate at which your body burns fat calories. That’s important because the average person carries 135,000 of pure fat, much of it “diet resistant”. It’s completely safe, doesn’t require you to freeze yourself and actually controls hunger. First… Why People Try to Freeze Themselves Thin: They do this to stimulate a special “fat-burning” fat called brown fat. Brown fat was created when you were younger so you could generate heat and keep warm. However, brown fat stops working as you age. You lose its calorie-burning power. And you get fat. Freezing your body is one painful way to re-activate it. It warms you up by burning fat calories for heat. This process is known as cold thermogenesis. However, its effects are only temporary… And Here’s the Bigger Problem (and the Better Solution): Even if you’re desperate enough to try this, you tap into only a fraction of your FULL fat-burning potential… Fat, including brown fat, burns just 4.1% of your total daily calories. What about the other 95.9%? What would happen if you could fully-activate the calorie-burning potential of THAT? Well, scientists recently discovered a fascinating way of doing that… without getting frostbite. For example, here’s how much the rest of your body can burn when fully-activated:
- Your Brain: 20.4%
- Your Heart: 7.3%
- Your Liver: 21.8%
- Your Kidneys: 7.3%
- Your Bone and Other Tissues: 16.9%
