    And next we'll be reading about how you can speed it up even more with thumb screws and get rid of excess water weight by whipping your own back with a knotted cord while crying.

    Don't knock it. Whenever I take a cold shower, I shrink.

    Fact: There are zero calories in a cold shower

    Also Fact: There are a lot of calories in the hot chocolate with marshmallows I would need to recover from said shower.

    Hahaha. THIS!

    Cold showers seem a little silly, but there is something to cold weather and the conversion of white fat to brown fat.

    Better off taking a brisk walk in the cold weather. I did that today for an hour and thoroughly enjoyed it.

    Actually, there's something to the theory as all those other linked articles explained. I get the best burns at the pool--I work hard but I think the cold water (not really cold--about 79-82 degrees) has been shown to burn extra calories. :smile:

    I do cold showers for weight loss too, and reallOr you could just do y hot showers help lose water weight. Also read that doing super hot then super cold showers can help flush your body.

    I have a tiny/half-sized water heater, so EVERY shower is super hot and then super cold.

    I win. ;)

    Seriously? Are moderation and a bit of exercise really so difficult? Its bad enough that quacks have people throwing millions down the drain, but cold showers? FFS! Eat a little less and move a little more.

    As a person who pretty much takes cold showers all winter, this is one of the silliest things I've ever heard, because were it the case, I'd be a heck of a lot thinner by now.

    I'll file this under "not worth it." I hope it works out for you though, OP.

    Inuit or First Nations, and clearly you've not seen many.

    It was more like 36 degrees outside when I was walking today. I love to walk on cold, sunny days... and that's the day I had today. Enjoy what little of the sun that I can, even if its just above freezing. :)
