this is an interesting new study on 1X per week cold immersion & 5X per week cold showers on fat loss and various mood related parameters.

The evidence is convergent. Multiple independent sources reach the same conclusion, the underlying mechanism is well-characterized, and even the field's most cautious voices treat it as worth doing.

Every Sunday: the week’s new conflicts and verdict changes — and nothing else.
Native comments, Twitter mentions, and Reddit threads about this claim — surfaced together so the conversation isn't fragmented across platforms.
Bookmarking — the dossier-vs-overview split is the right call. Most of the time I want overview; sometimes I want receipts.

A 2 min cold immersion to the neck and five, 30 second cold showers per week led to a significant reduction in abdominal fat and waist circumference in the men in this study
However, were that in particular in men, there was a reduction in waste circumference following 8 weeks of this deliberate cold exposure, as well as a 5.5% on average, 5.5% reduction in abdominal fat, that was quite statistically significant when compared to the other groups.
In this study, what I thought was particularly interesting is, again, they explored both immersion in cold water and cold showers, and the duration of cold exposure that they found led to substantial fat loss, especially around the abdomen, was very brief, deliberate cold exposure.
