Keeping cold to lose weight?

Question:

I am need to lose 7 more lbs before wrestling season (about 2 and a half weeks) and I am already eating right and cutting down portion sizes. I started to wear less layers and turn down my heat to burn more calories, hoping this could get me to my destination just a little faster, but I know that animals tend to store more fat during the winter for insulation. If I stay too cold will i just store fat and gain weight rather than lose it? Or will this not happen because I am already eating low fats and excercizing(running 20-25 miles a week)

Answers:
The body needs energy to keep warm. Before winter, many animals go on eating binges to get fat for winter. But you are maintaining a lean diet.

Diet and aerobic exercise will get you to your weight goal. Keeping a little cold will help, but not much. Don't do anything extreme that may induce hypothermia.

I have heard that when you are cold you burn calories. When your are cold your body uses energy to try to raise your body temp.
I did hear on a radio show a year ago that when you drink cold drinks, you burn cal. because of the body regulation. so try adding cold water instead of juice or other drinks. water is calorie free.

No. You want to warm up to loose weight especially if you are a male. Look into Ayurveda or Chinese Medicine for in depth details.

You will burn calories to heat up a cold body, but you will burn far more by keeping your thermostat up.

But even in terms of Western Biology, the term metabolism signifies the "burning" of calories (heat). Aerobic exercise literally burns calories by the movement and warming up of the body. But many other things affect metabolism other than just excersize.

Hot spices like pepper and garlic being added to your food will also really pick up your metabolism. On the other hand watch it because they will also increase your hunger and need to eat more. But if you just use a little more spices than usual and keep your body covered and warm you will burn more calories. In the East, Japan in particular they actually wear waist wraps in the winter to keep their organs warm and away from cold and thus healthy.

*Also guy's can take more heat than females, females must stay cooler or they can get VERY off balance and sick from an increase in to much Yang.

excures (get a dog so you can walk it) that is an excures.

If you are serious about losing weight, the
caloriesin the food you eat should be less
than the energy you use. You will have to
increase your metabolic rate now, and plan
your diet carefully.Formulate your own weight
loss plan and you will lose weight faster. More
