FAT LOSS: BETTER IN a HEATED OR A COLD ENVIRONMENT?

Tip of the day: I love to read about new studies and research done on fat loss. What do we know about fat loss? Most of us rely on heat to lose weight but what if a mild cold was the key to success? In the 80's Weider Int'l published an article on Saunas and fat loss.Then a colleague of mine with Bachelors in Kinesiology told me that to burn fat you have to be in an aerobic state(in presence of oxygen!).So a sauna would be useless! Well ever heard of Brown fat cells? Its what happens when your sick and your body turns your body to a human inferno. As humans we have brown fat cells and this study demonstrated that our metabolism increases by 80% in a slightly cold environment.Its a fun article and if you are like me, it will have you wondering about the whole process.
