Beige fat and ice packs -- What the heck?

We already have a lot of ice packs in our freezer (arthritis) -- I am intrigued by this notion but not sure at the start of the cold season I am ready to strap an ice pack on my little flubby tummy (no longer the big Mrs. Winnie-the-Pooh profile but would like the last of it to go, go, go). But still, I may be trying this:

Ha! Let me know your results. I can so see this as the next diet fad. Theoretically the study is right but it's a bit more complicated than just strapping on ice packs to your belly.

Well, it might be worth considering. I do know already that I sleep much better when the bedroom is cool (66-68 degrees) more so that when the bedroom is warmer (like in the summer and the air conditioner is not on. Hmmmmm, maybe even a walk in the crisp autumn air might be helpful beyond just being good exercise.

Thanks for sharing! Interesting indeed! And it definitely can't hurt to try it! The only thing I like about the cooler weather is that it's better for running so perhaps this gives me another reason to like it?lol

Interestng....They talk about research and even talk about where its being done but at the bottom of the article there are no references.......hmmmmmm
