so. calories in toothpaste? I am worried that I accidentally swallow some, and the calories are concerning me a little.
and -- is it worth having cold baths and showers so that I burn more calories when heating my body back up?

cheers!

    If you swallow more toothpaste, it's actually a great source of roughage. I recommend that. Also, the colder shower, the better. You should probably wait until a lake freezes over and then only bathe in that. Breaking through the ice with a pick with just burn more calories!

    nope- if I just take a super hot shower- I start sweating immediately- which is obviously the answer more sweat = more calories burned.

    More importantly, if you take a hot shower, you might get some hot water in your mouth. A calorie is a measure of heat, so hot water is pure calories and will definitely make you fat.

    And cold water actually slows your metabolism down. What do walruses, penguins, and seals have in common? They all live in cold water and they are all fat.
