Walking in cold weather
"Ignoramus28710" wrote in message ... Just curious... If I walk in cold weather while purposely wearing clothes that make me feel cold, how many calories would I lose through heat loss? i 223/177/180 you'd probably lose more with the cold that followed IMHO |

I've not been around long enough to know if you usually ask thought
provoking questions from time to time regarding dieting and weight loss. So far, you have me convinced that you plan to starve yourelf in the cold just to see what will happen. Elise.

You're not going to burn that many extra calories and you'll just be freezing and uncomfortable for nothing.

Walking in cold weather

Walking in cold weather
I also did some back onthe envelope calculations and I think that it did cost me a few hundred calories. i, about every couple of months, someone in here posts about the LOWERED temperature/calorie burning thing. i think if you GOOGLE this you will see, that the calories spent, due to cold are minimal. |

Walking in cold weather
``If you are too scantily clad (or have little body fat) and your body becomes chilled, you will need more calories to stay warm. For example, scantily clad research subjects who exercised in the cold (14 degrees F) burned 13% more calories than when they performed the same exercise at room temperature--about 450 vs 400 calories per hour.'' i, as i posted, i think if you GOOGLE this you will find conflicting research results! |

My husband has an outdoor job and walks miles a day. When it gets below -10 F he starts noticing that he's more hungry after working outside or that he has an easier time losing weight regardless of what he eats, and he is dressed appropriately for the weather. In the polar regions, winter campers eat things like butter sticks, etc. to keep warm but we're again talking way sub zero weather and lots of physical activity. Put on a coat. Jenn 300/150/14? |

You're not going to burn that many extra calories and you'll just be freezing and uncomfortable for nothing. Beverly - who hates cold weather and would never dream of going out unless I'm bundled up I dunno, I walked for 40 minutes to train in 34 degree (F) weather in a polo shirt and I enjoyed it. My wife freaked out when she saw me at the train station (we take the same train). I also did some back onthe envelope calculations and I think that it did cost me a few hundred calories. I have kind of high tolerance to heat and cold (when I move) for some reason. i 223/177/180 You'd better make damn sure you warm up your muscles/joints before venturing out into the cold with inadequate protection. Exercising with cold stiff muscles/joints is very bad for you. For example, many cyclists end up with mullered knees because they cycle in cold weather with no leg protection. The cons far outweigh the pros on this I think - you'd be better off wrapping up properly and taking the "scenic route" to burn some extra C's. -- S |

... Just curious... If I walk in cold weather while purposely wearing clothes that make me feel cold, how many calories would I lose through heat loss? A significant amount if you walk long enough. |
