Ice Water to Boost Your Metabolism

May 4, 2010

Have you ever wondered what would happen if we took all weight loss myths to their true reality?
Well, let’s do it now…
Is it true that Ice water boosts metabolism?
Yes.
But how does this apply to us in reality?
Since drinking 50o ml of water at 3 degrees increases metabolic rate by roughly 3.5 Calories over 90 minutes*…
You would have to drink 500 ml of Ice Cold Water 14 times per day (every 90 minutes all day, all night) to burn an extra 50 Calories
(This is assuming that the effect remains the same each time)
Do this for about 70 days and you’ve theoretically burned an extra pound of fat.
(Again, assuming that the effect remains the same after multiple days of repeat exposure)

70 days! For a HIGHLY theoretical 1 pound of fat!

I don’t know about you, but to me these weight loss myths aren’t nearly as sexy when we take them down to […]

First, I want to say thank you for convincing me to do Tabata! I was struggling to lose weight and Finally I found something that helped! I really appreciate your coaching! - Craig T.

Ever since I was convinced to do Tabata I have seen huge results, I lost 6 pounds and gained energy in the first 3 weeks. I have been working out for 3 months before I decided to do Tabata and I struggled to lose weight. At first I thought "How am I losing weight by bringing my heart rate up then cooling down then bringing it up again?" I don’t know how it works but it does! Thank you!! - Theresa F.

The first day of Tabata, I wondered WHAT AM I DOING - I AM 56 !! Five weeks later I knew that it was what I needed. I learned that I could push myself well beyond my comfort zone and feel good later. I have a marked improvement in physical as well as emotional endurance. - Lyn C.

When I was first told about Tabata I was very excited from the word go, however that excitement stemmed from the fact that I had no clue what it meant. I missed the first week of class b/c I was traveling for work so when I came in during the 2nd week I had some making it up to do. It was hard at first b/c my body wasn't used to working out at such a fast pace, but once I got into a rhythm I started to feel very good. These classes are no joke. If you stick with it you will leave there feeling stronger, healthier and overall better about yourself and what you've accomplished. I would recommend these classes to anyone. Darrin is a great trainer and he'll keep you going with his energy. - Jami L.
