This is the reason why Michael Phelps can eat 12,000 calories a day and not gain any body fat. Losing weight through exposure to cold weather has been researched and scientifically proven by the military, NASA and recent experiments in the medical field.
I am not going to get into the exact science behind how it works in this post, however if you are interested I will gladly provide all of the documentation and studies done on the effects of Cold Weather and Weight Loss.
I want to show you how you can utilize this Sneaky method to accelerate your progress and reach your fitness goals as FAST as Possible!
Cold Exposure Strategies from the most difficult to the easiest
(Add them into your lifestyle as often as you can)
1. Lie in a tub filled with water and ice- 20 mins a day
2. Take a cold shower – 15 mins Twice a day
3. Sit with Ice pack or frozen veggies around your neck for 2-3 hours a day

One of the best ways to improve your body composition is by increasing lean muscle tone.
Each pound of muscle burns up 50 calories per day, so by adding muscle tone- you are essentially burning fat while doing nothing!
When it comes to increasing muscle tone resistance exercise is the absolute best!
It’s well-known that people who challenge their bodies with resistance exercises have more muscle than those that do cardio alone.
And, depending on the diet and other daily activities, these people often have less body fat.
Challenging resistance exercise improves your body composition by stimulating muscle protein synthesis pathways and enhancing fat oxidation (fat burning) for several hours after your exercise session is over.
Scientific studies have shown us that certain foods can enhance the amount of fat burned for energy several hours after the weight lifting session is over, and increase the amount of muscle synthesized.
Specifically, a high protein meal has been shown in many different scientific studies to increase muscle tone when consumed after any resistance exercise.
The best time to eat a high protein meal for this effect is 30 minutes after you workout.
Recently, researchers from Michigan State University showed that when a high protein meal was taken after an exercise session, resting energy expenditure (REE) was significantly elevated for 24 hours compared to a carbohydrate-only diet.
REE is an important measure of the amount of calories you burn in one day and accounts for about 60-75% of your total daily energy expenditure.
Thus, if you have a higher REE, you will burn more calories in the day and store less of them as body fat. Enjoy a high protein meal within 30 minutes after exercise for the best effect and watch those fat cells run away in fear.
