OMG diet on GMA

[MWOS]

apparently you are supposed to start your day by plunging yourself in an ice cold bath. :-| I'm watching this with my foot in the ice bucket

I'm gonna be so fuckin skinny. How do I add "dunked foot in ice" to MFP?

[dcannie]

that sounds like the worst way to start my day.

this is so weird. my grandfather used to say that that's how he stayed slender--cold showers in the morning.

Hypothermia does wonders for your metabolism!

[MWOS]

Somehow my morning ice is colder than the afternoon or evening ice. Fuck science, it's totally true

[MWOS]

oh!! In case it wasn't clear- my foot is in an ice bucket for legit medical reasons, not for weight loss reasons. But hey, two birds one stone?

[cleo29]

So did they say why this works?

[cbwm1]

Whut?

This sounds like hell.

I did an internship one summer than was essentially just a sales job for Scholastic, and they wanted everyone to take 10 minute ice cold showers to "wake up". Yeah, didn't partake in that.

I think this was one of the hangover cures on Three Sheets.

Didn't he have to jump in some northern European sea and it was freezing? I miss that show!

Because you shiver and shivering burns calories.

This was the only part of this diet they discussed... no food, exercise, etc. Though they did indicate that it seems unhealthy, both in terms of mentality and the fact that hypothermia is a thing.

Dang girl, your ankle is looking TIGHT.

This is not the first time this has been said to me, but it's definitely the most funny

[emjacobs]

So how long do I have to stay in this ice bath? Until I turn blue? Until I start shivering? Is a quick dunk and go good enough? I need details!

Also does this go well with the hcg diet?

This sounds like an ED trick.
