Do You Want To Be Fat or Do You Want To Be Cold?

Its 5:00AM and I feel like I am actually going to die within the next few moments.

As I stand in the shower, I feel a piercing pain in my chest as if someone just drove a knife through it.

The pain keeps repeating itself over and over again, and it doesn't let up for even a second.

In less than a minute, I can't breathe and my heart feels like its going to explode out of my chest.

Rather than give in to the pain, I decide to fight back.

I regroup, tighten up my fists and scream, "Is that all you got? Lets go!"

The next thing I hear is my wife banging on the bathroom door, screaming, "Is everything okay? Do you need help?"

I respond, "It's okay baby .... I am just taking an Ice Cold Shower."

Why the Ice Cold Shower?

I actually blame all of this on my man, Tim Ferriss, author of The Four Hour Body.

(He's not really "my man", but he is highly intelligent and I try to follow 99% of what I read in his books.)

In his book, Tim states the reason Michael Phelps was able to burn 12,000 calories a day was largely due to thermal effects he endured while training in a pool all day.

After a great deal of research, he was able to determine that things like taking a freezing cold shower and sitting in ice baths would significantly increase the rate of fat loss.

Due to my respect for Mr. Ferriss, I had to give it a shot.

Did it work?

Within two weeks, I lost 9lbs and 2% body fat.

Is it hard to do?

Absolutely.

You need to really, really want it to do this.

This person is burning massive fat right now

So I ask you ....

Do you want to be fat or do you want to be cold?

Most people I asked would rather take a nice warm shower.

I guess they would rather be comfortable, as they looked down at their fat and blubber.

Not me....

I am off to my cold shower...
