Timed cold exposure for fat burning from "summary" of The 4-hour Body by Timothy Ferriss
To initiate the process of fat burning, the body must first deplete its glycogen reserves. This can be achieved through timed cold exposure, a method that involves exposing the body to cold temperatures for a specific period. The idea behind this concept is that when the body is exposed to cold temperatures, it activates brown adipose tissue, also known as BAT. BAT is a type of fat tissue that burns calories to generate heat and regulate body temperature. By activating BAT through timed cold exposure, the body increases its energy expenditure, leading to the depletion of glycogen stores. Once the glycogen reserves are depleted, the body begins to burn fat for fuel. This process is known as thermogenesis, where the body generates heat by burning calories from stored fat. Timed cold exposure can be achieved through variou...
