than pleasantly plump and cant seem to stick to diet recently released federal defence department study may have an answer to your weight problemexercise in the cold Exercise in the cold appar ently results in dramatic and persistent loss of body fat say Dr OHara and Al len of the departments defence and civil institute of environ mental medicine Its an innovative and prom ising therapeutic approach to the management of obesity The fact that people lose much more fat exercising in cold temperatures than they would doing the same amount of exercise in warmer tempera tures came to light during Ar ctic military exercises several years ago The 186 infantrymen on the twoweeklong exercises showed 307percent reduc tion in average skinfold thickness which is taken by pinching the skin in selected sites on the body and measuring the thickness of this fold SAME FOR CIVILIANS This dramatic fat loss oc curred even though the men were in caloric balancewthe calories in the food they ate equalled the energy they needed to get through the day Drs OHara and Allen de cided to see if the cold would have the same effect on fat civ vilians that it had on the fit sol diers They had six obese volun teers dressed in standard mili tary Arctic winter clothing ex ercise in climatic chamber at minus 34 degrees Celsius for 312 hours day for 10 consecutive days Maintaining an otherwise normal way of life the six ex ercised lightlyto accom modate their poor fitness leveland lost an average of 483 kilograms of body fat more than 10 pounds or 21 times more fat than they would have lost doing the same amount of exercise at room temperature They also showed 304 or cent reduction in average in MULCASTER PARKlAND TIRE fold thickness Two months later each and every subject had sustained an average fat loss of 34 kilo grams about 7l2 poundS the study found TRIGGERS REACTION The apparent key to the whole thing is that the cold speeds the way the body me tabolizes or breaks down fat It triggers reaction called ke tosis which in its simplest form occurs during starvation Perhaps this caloric shunt mechanism represents posi tive adaptive process wherein rapid modifications of body fat distribution occur to enhance the safe working efficiency and survival probabilities of men operating in olar regions This chailenges the com monly held assumption that fat people are better off in cold climes that their fat has in sulating value the study points out If hard prolonged work must be undertaken by fat person profuse sweating will occur and this response creates potentially lethal situation when it occurs in isolated re gions If there is no shelter to warm oneself and dry the sweatsoaked underclothing then death from hypothermia rapid loss of body litat will eventually result
