    Sounds like ppl should just answer her question if they can and get off their high horses about her health..

    Looks like some people should check the date, this thread is 7 years old.

    And welcome to MFP. It's a terrible place where people care about other's health and not just their confined questions.

    This cheered up my morning. We need a zombie emoji! :lol::lol::lol:

    swimmers are thin and muscular due to the fact they eat right and exercise :/ it has nothing to do with water temperateure.

    what a load of bollucks.

    OP - taking a cold bath wont do anything other than make you cold.

    I have been sleeping about 18-20 hours a day for the last few days. Been sick for over a week (I naturally get sick a lot and have other health conditions so I know I don't have to see a doc). Also have asthma so... going for a walk right now is out. I walked down the stairs, looked around, and thought... nope. Not happened today.

    I read to hear and thought are you fecking kidding?

    you are already ill and have asthma, sitting in a cold bath for any period of time is a completely stupid idea.
    all thats gonna happen is you will probably get worse and maybe cause yourself an asthma attack.

    I have asthma too and dont get why you would want to risk either of the above for the sake of burning barely any extra calories.

    Just stop! you dont NEED to work out to lose weight, but you do need to rest and take care of yourself whilst ill and I take it you understand just how serious an asthma attack can be? so why risk it.

    go to bed, eat what you can and get back to it once you are better

    i think youd of burned ALOT of calories if you were still in said ice bath 7 years later, But not because of the ice bath xD

    At least she's skinny if she's still in the bathtub!
    But she's definitely got more problems than the common cold.

    Doesn't the body go into fat storing mode when it's cold? I would recommend focusing on getting better, you won't be sick too much longer.

    Let's hope that cold won't last more than 7 years.

    she asked a simple question whether or not if you can burn calories from cold temperatures i found my answers from the site i posted if you don't like the answer then take it up with the website, btw i have seen on doctor oz that you can burn calories from a cold ice pack for 20 mins. on the lower neck and shoulders no it obviously isn't as much as if you exercise but it does help kick your metabolism in gear, think about it your body is cold so your body has to work extra hard to warm you up which will get the blood pumping and then result in burning "some" calories. and no i dont think you should do this if you are still sick it will only make you worse... good luck and hope you are better

    Bingo!

    I'm not sure if it would take more energy to keep your body cool in a hot one vs warm in a cold. I think a 10 minute walk to your mailbox might be better personally lol
