Your metabolic rate can be several times higher in a pool or other body of water than it is on land without any exercise at all. Body heat is lost at a much higher rate when you are submerged in water and your body will burn more fuel to maintain core temperature.

So why isn’t “a long cold bath every day” the trendiest weight loss method??
Wogi@lemmy.world 10 months 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.

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

cold plunge is hyped up but idk if its for the weight loss
woobie@lemmy.world 10 months ago
Because it would be too difficult to monetize that trend, maybe?
