Ice Baths: Short Term Weight Loss or Long Term Weight Gain?
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 6 май 2024
- The body has two ways to deal with cold: expend more energy, or insulate itself to reduce energy expenditure. While a lot of the focus on ice bathing over the last decade has looked at how bodies deal with cold exposure in the immediate environment, there has been less study on how habitual ice bathing could lead to increased insulation. While I don't have any definitive long term scientific data there is at least some reason to think that people who do ice bathing all the time might end up fatter instead of thinner. #coldexposure #icebath #wimhof #weightloss

It's possible that long term cold exposure leads to weight gain. But there are a few things here worth mentioning. Getting older is also associated with weight gain, and Wim Hof ain't no spring chicken. Secondly, arctic animals live in the cold 24-7. Ice baths work as a therapy because it shocks the system and causes stress that translates to increased dopamine and decreased inflammation (and my God it is nothing if not shocking AF), but most people stay in for less than 10 minutes per bath, which is a far cry from 24-7. At the end of the day, there may or may not be some associating with ice baths and weight gain. But so do a bunch of other factors. Like, for example, excessive alcohol consumption, or not getting much exercise, or eating garbage, etc.
The cold thing has also aged Wim Hof considerably. I’m older than him and he looks like he could be my grandpa.
ditto. 'grandpa' may be an exaggeration though.
It's the only reason why I don't have 6 pack abs. Well, there's also pizza...
How about 2 pizzas?

@@sgcarney what's the runtime on this vid?
It’s short. Like 4 mins.
What do you think @jesseCoomer
Iceman may be a little larger this days because he may be living a little larger this days 😂
Scott! Thanks for posting this video
Wim Hof looking like Fat Dutch Grandpa right there 😂
( i remember this long user comment , where the user described how his extreme long cold exposure had his body "make him a fat suit"
like he over 10 years probably damaged his metabolism so much through cold water nonsense , that now he will have to live with an extra thick layer of fat for the rest of his life )
All false propoganda and fake naratives
@@ManjeetSingh-rt1lc Wim Hof's teachings ? Yes !
The rest of his shortened life.

He was just throwing out a hypothesis. People can put forth opinions without a randomized control trial. Fwiw, I agree with him. I had made the same observation about ice bathers.
Absoltley agree! Claims like this have no science to back them up. I guess marketing is the same for any product, wim hof method included.
During winter I am continually exposed to cold. And you know what? I gain weight that I lose without a particular diet during summer. This is my evidence on my skin about what you are claiming. Thank you Scott
What abt Wim's heavy drinking 🍸 as a cause ?
Cold water long distance swimmersnare pretty much always covered in a layer of thick subcutaneous fat. It's usually very even.
Do you think ice bathing has affected your fat levels?
I'm quite skeptical of an explanation of ice bathing for WH's weight gain, since we don't have the info on other variables like food intake and activity & stress levels. Perhaps, like many of us, he is less active but eats the same as when he did more. There are too many variables to consider, but when looking at other animals' body types, we do see added insulation for those w/ ongoing cold exposure.
Hope you're doing well! I see you're still in a sweater! We've had a very (too) warm spring in Michigan; we have put away the sweaters! I've had to mow the grass a half dozen times already!
I don't know for sure, but I think mostly it has left it unchanged.
I am on year 3 of ice baths (7 minutes, every other day) and have remained lean. Weight fluctuations have occurred based on my diet.
Wim was quite fit up until several years ago, after cold exposure his entire adult life.
After the enema injury is when his fitness level began a downward trajectory.
Just my anecdotal observations...
Could be! More study needed.
Don’t guess TEST!
Been doing the WHM for 10 years. This is an observation that leads to my hypothesis. The theory comes after testing.
No it doesn't work like that, it all depends on one's approach mentality and life style. The body doesn't decide the brain mind does.
Dear Scott, seriously; How are you? In the more recent videos you sound breathless, talk too fast and you talk out of rhythm with your breath. Something is going on with you. Take care of yourself. And since you like investigating things, look into " brown fat". Not all fat is the same. Brown fat is thought to be better and healthier. People living in cold regions have a higher proportion of brown fat. Brown fat is thought to help with/ accelerate fat burning. Brown fat is thought to make fat eadier to access and burn. There has been studies made into how to increase people's proportion of brown fat. You could look into brown fat and cold exposure and tell us where science currently stands. Personally I feel that daily cold exposure leads to ypur body fat being more elegantly and evenly spread out over all your body. That might be just me.
I'm doing awesome! Thanks for asking. This channel has a lot about BAT on it. Here's a good places to start: ruclips.net/video/WNcajWsC0l8/видео.html But you can also look at this one ruclips.net/video/dODmftCtLtc/видео.html
No you are wrong we do not have to cold exposure for one hour it is for several min ie 10 minutes however in case of wim hoff he used to do lots of yoga but now he dosnt do it so he is big in the middle moreover he takes butter daily which adds to it instead i take cows ghee prepared at home and i am 64 but my weight is static since 10 years that is 55-58
Evidence is what I'm looking for. Not conjecture.
@@sgcarney he has reduced stretching dont preach your mind to others
