Does this whole ice pack on fat cells thing work?
The concept is you freeze the fat cells which in turn kills them, and they are flushed out of your body. Same as those tubes you sit in for a little while they blast you with cold air, except it doesn't cost you a thing.
Has anyone tried this?
That's some voodoo magic right there
don't be retarded

No, that's retarded, ice packs for weight loss are based on the idea that lowering your skin temperature causes you to burn more calories in order to keep your body temperature stable, hence why swimmers like Michael Phelps have to eat 13 000 calories a day to not lose weight
This is some mom-science shit.

It won't work

To freeze the fat cells you would have to first freeze and kill the skin cells
>Retard Alert
>>36377847
that seems like it would work because your whole body would need to work to keep the temp up, right? or would it be negligeable and uncomfortable
>>36377781
It does work, but not because it freezes the fat cells.
Google scholar brown adipose tissue. Basically, these fat cells have mitochondria in them, unlike the rest. They're the 'same' cells in the same number from childhood. As you age, these things congregate entirely around your upper back/traps/upper chest.
If you expose brown adipose tissue to cold temperatures for ~2 minutes, it activates - sending a hormonal response to adipose tissue surrounding it to sacrifice themselves to preserve the BAT.
You can actually feel it if you take cold showers - no troll. Cold showers are kind of miserable, but if you allow the water to run across your upper-back for just about 2 minutes you'll actually feel the heat of the BAT activating.

Water has a much higher specific heat than air, which allows the water to suck more heat out of your body at a much faster rate. As you lose more heat, your body burns fat to keep it's temperature stable.

um killed cells=gangrene=ER visit=more $$ than u can probably afford

The idea that sitting or swimming in cold water can drastically increase weight loss actually has the support of a biophysicist from NASA called Ray Cronise
>>36377881
Idfk man I'm new to this shit
>>36377898
So take ice bathes or cold showers?
Do you have any sources?
>>36377873
so, are you saying that I could improve my fat reduction simply by taking a cold shower in the morning?
I'm not looking for a quick fix, to be clear. but if that actually works, I'd be willing to try it.

Here is his website, at least one study found that making fat women sit in cold water for half an hour a day resulted in no weight loss but that failed to take into account that they probably ate more to compensate for any calories burned.
Anecdotally Penn Jillete credits him for helping him lose 105lbs in only a few months and it's also well documented that elite swimmers including Michael Phelps eat over 11 000 calories a day, far more than almost any other athlete including marathon runners

what the fuck are you even doing here?

>adipose tissue
do you also go to work and talk to coworkers who give give two shits less about your diet in terms of Kcals, too? fucking internet nutritionists.

Sorry please don't hurt me with your testosterone

It can't hurt. We're talking about, perhaps, a 100 calorie metabolic increase. If you stack that, with fasted cardio, and ECA, coupled with a solid cut you'll lose weight that much faster.
If you're not down for cold showers then you can instead just put an ice-pack on your upper back for ~30 minutes.
The best thing you could do is find a cold lake/river/ocean to swim in at the start of your day before breakfast.

The stuff is called brown adipose tissue.

Educate yourself.

Speaking as a physicistfag I'd be inclined to say that moderately cold water for long periods of time would be more effective than very cold water for short periods of time, in other words you'd be better off using the ice pack like other anons have suggested or to lie in a bathtub of cold but not freezing water for an hour while you read a book or have a fap
I read that killing fat cells is bad. It's why lipo is frowned upon, cos when you kill/remove fat cells, they prop up else where (face, knees) if you cant maintain and end up getting fat again.
