So why isn’t “a long cold bath every day” the trendiest weight loss method??

[-] Wogi@lemmy.world 48 points 1 year ago

This is something fighters do when they're going extreme weight loss before a weight in. I'm addition to dehydrating themselves and eating clean, they have several different cold exposure methods that causes the body to burn more calories.

several different cold exposure methods

"Cough in my face, I need to lose weight!"

Yes, get sick, increase that body temp, increase that thermogenesis , burn those calories. Don’t be weak.

Because it still isn't going to make that extra large pizza disappear.

The ALS Ice Bucket Challenge was wildly successful, raising over $200m and leading to identifying 12 genes that play a critical role in ALS

Im still fuckkng amazed that a social media trend for once actually had a good and measurable effect

[-] DaPorkchop_@lemmy.ml 7 points 1 year ago

because then they wouldn't be able to sell weight loss products and gym memberships

[-] littlecolt@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago

Google "ice bath"

[-] BigBananaDealer@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago

cold plunge is hyped up but idk if its for the weight loss

[-] woobie@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Because it would be too difficult to monetize that trend, maybe?
