Can Cold Help You Lose Weight?
It is no secret that weight loss is a commonly discussed topic. While the industry is saturated with theories, people have recently paid to expose themselves to freezing temperatures. With winter being in full swing, hosts Vince and Erica could not think of a better time to answer this question: can the cold really help you lose weight?
Since our bodies are designed to respond to stress, one of the best ways we can add stress to our lives is through the cold. Not only does it reduce inflammation, but research shows that the cold helps our bodies process glucose, which can lead to a reduction of fat. According to Vince, exposure to the cold is not the solution to weight loss, but it can certainly be a positive agent for fat loss. So rather than using the cold as a primary method, it is more effective to integrate it into your routine.
Tune into this week’s episode to learn more about the process of hormesis, the three types of fat, and the benefits cold temperatures can have on your body physically and mentally.
Quotes
• “You won't see the benefits right away, it's a compliance thing.” (13:33-13:38 | Erica)
• “We definitely know that there are significant medicinal benefits of the cold-related to the reduction of inflammation.” (13:48-13:54 | Vince)
• “Sometimes people think just because they lose fat cells that means they are going to lose fat permanently, but that's not necessarily true. You still have to keep it and maintain a healthy diet and lifestyle in order to maintain those results.” (17:12-17:24 | Vince)
• “Does cold therapy cause weight loss? And the answer is actually no. It's not a big weight loss ingredient, but it is a fat loss agent.” (31:57-32:14 | Vince)
• “Cold Therapy can actually help you process glucose better.” (35:37-35:39 | Vince)
• “If you expose yourself to more cold on a consistent basis, you will burn more of your white fat and improve glucose levels.” (37:25-37:35 | Vince)
• “Research shows that if you expose yourself to cold on a consistent basis, your mood and dopamine levels tend to be higher than individuals who don't.” (44:51-45:01 | Vince)
