Minnesota Diet

I found some interesting information about how the cold can contribute to weight loss. I'm thinking of writing a book and calling it the MN diet ;)

Apprently:
"Shivering is an involuntary clenching of muscles; its purpose is to generate heat and warm you up. When your teeth are chattering and every muscle in your body is tight and tense, you burn nearly four times more calories than usual. And when it's so cold that in addition to shivering, you have to hop from foot to foot and rub your hands together to keep warm, you burn up to 400 additional calories per hour."

So with that in mind I just need to dress lighter and hop more!! HA!
