Lazy Ways to Lose Weight All December Long, According to Science

#1 Be Chilly, Burn Fat

Fact: Simply exposing your body to brisk temperatures can help unleash the forces of your body's inner fat-burning machinery. According to a new study published last month in the journal Molecular Metabolism, "cold ambient temperatures" will encourage your body to produce more vitamin A naturally, which helps your body convert your body's white fat (the bad, inert kind) into brown fat (the good, healthy, and useful kind). When this happens, your body burns more energy than it stores as fat. Best of all: You don't need to load up on vitamin A supplements to experience this metabolic boost.

"Our results show that vitamin A plays an important role in the function of adipose tissue and affects global energy metabolism," the researchers conclude. "However, this is not an argument for consuming large amounts of vitamin A supplements if not prescribed, because it is critical that vitamin A is transported to the right cells at the right time."

So get outside, and when you feel those chills, know that you're priming your body for weight loss.
