Cool tip to lose weight - the lazy way
Friday, January 16, 2009 22:23Human beings use approximately 80% of their energy consumption to maintain high, even body temperature. Remaining 20% goes into various activities that we do. If you have a tough workout, you are able to somewhat increase your calorie consumption, but you are still working without significant leverage on that 1/5 side of the scale.
Much more efficient way to increase your energy consumption and hence to lose weight is to live in colder conditions. Your body will have to step up the efforts to maintain body temperature and consequently use more energy. Small change in room temperature gives you the benefit of leverage - you now work on the 4/5 side of the lever.
