      The Cold War on Fat - Wayne Hayes

      Our Mission

      We want to spread the word that burning calories doesn’t have to require time-consuming gym visits, sweaty exercise, crazy calorie-restricted diet fads, or taking untested, questionable supplements with unknown side effects. Instead, we advocate that a healthy lifestyle must contain not only a healthy diet and moderate exercise, but also a regular dose of mild cold exposure.

      A Scientific Breakthrough
      in Fat Loss

      The lifeblood of a democracy lies in your ability to understand and act upon a problem once the facts are presented to you... and then you, as individuals and citizens of a democracy, must take action.

      U.S. Surgeon General Dr. Thomas Parran, 1946

      ––––––––

      Drug therapy for obesity has hit the skids. It seems incredible that in the face of the relative lack of efficacy of lifestyle interventions, the ever-expanding knowledge of the physiology of energy balance, and a veritable gold mine for successful candidates, most pharmaceutical companies have closed their obesity research programs.

      Authors’ Preface

      Congratulations, you’ve bought this book (or opened it at a bookstore or friend’s house), which shows that you are serious about taking control of your health.

      We believe telling someone to do (or not do) something isn’t a very effective method of bringing about real change. In order to truly change the way you think and act you need to know the reasons why. In this book we’re going to tell you about a new aspect of the weight loss equation: cold exposure.

      Cold exposure burns calories, like exercise. It’s a scientific fact that has taken the medical journals by storm over the past few years. This book is dedicated to explaining the science of cold exposure, and outlining how to make it work for you.

      Cold and altitude are a potent anti-obesity combination. Take the difference between Switzerland and Germany. Switzerland eats virtually the same diet as Germany, ... But Switzerland is high, cold, and thin (only 8 percent obesity), while Germany is low, less cold, and fat (16 percent obesity).

      -  Robert H. Lustig, Fat Chance (Plume 2013)

      THE COLD WAR ON FAT:

      THE NEW SCIENCE OF

      COLD EXPOSURE AND WEIGHT LOSS

      Chapter 1  The Cold War on Fat

      What  is The Cold War on Fat?

      For decades, people have been getting fatter in our society, with the aid of furnaces, coats, and sweaters everywhere! But we have discovered a weapon that can help spell the end of the obesity epidemic: Cold exposure. In this book we will give you the tools to employ a thermogenic approach to weight loss, a cold war on fat.

      A word of warning: cold exposure isn’t meant to be a free pass to eat poorly and not exercise. Diet is still paramount (in fact, it’s the most important thing, which is why we wrote an entire book on it). However, when combined with diet and exercise, cold exposure can make a difference for your weight loss, and overall health.

      Quietly, and without fuss, the evidence for cold exposure induced calorie burn has been accumulating. Now it's time to bring the science to the public. That's what we’re here to do: to explain to you what is probably the most novel, evidence-based calorie-burning idea to come out of the scientific community in many years, and to tell you how you can take advantage of it.

      The first popular reference we’ve found to using cold exposure for weight loss is from science fiction author Charles Sheffield in his 1978 science fiction short story, The Dalmatian of Faust. It also happens to be a great summary of the general idea. Note that the story takes place on Mars, where it is very cold outside the dome:

      Look, said Waldo. The food we eat is converted to energy inside us. Either we use up that energy, in exercise or some other way, or else it goes to produce fat. So there are just three ways to lose weight: eat less food, exercise more, or lose energy some other way. True?

      Sounds plausible, said Faust cautiously. But what’s this `Thermodynamic Dieting’ all about?

      "It maximizes the other ways that the body can lose energy. For instance, drink lots of ice water -—it takes energy to heat it up inside you. Take cold baths—-you lose heat that way. Exercise in the coldest possible place—-outside the dome in a minimal space suit. Wear as few clothes as possible, to maximize heat loss. It’s all in the book."

      So you’ve been doing all the stuff it says in this book?

      Waldo looked a little guilty. Well, nearly all. I must admit I’ve skimped on the ice-water enemas.

      Sheffield was writing fiction. Ironically, it turns out that the idea he jokingly referred to as thermodynamic dieting actually turns out to work, and you don’t need to run around naked on the cold surface of Mars, or take an ice water enema (yikes!), to do it.

      The concept of cold exposure based weight loss is far from new. The principles have been known for at least a century, probably longer. In 1911, the Antarctic explorers Scott and Amundsen were racing to the South Pole. Both knew that the extreme cold weather meant they needed to provide their teams (both human and beasts of burden) with far more calories than they’d need if they were marching across a more temperate region. They very literally had to balance the cost (weight) of carrying extra food, with the need for extra food in the cold.  Scott’s expedition (which failed) budgeted about 4400 calories per day per person. In 2006 a BBC-sponsored re-enactment demonstrated that 4400 calories was only about half of the daily caloric requirement in the harsh Antarctic cold.[1] Both Scott’s expedition, and also the 2006 re-enactment, had to be aborted (in Scott’s case 5 men died) due to the extreme loss of weight and strength of expedition members. So clearly, extreme cold exposure has extreme weight-loss effects.

      Scientists first started studying the calorie-burning effect of cold exposure in the 1950s; in 1979 the U.S. Army demonstrated that soldiers exercising in cold weather burned way more fat than those exercising
