Weight loss from soaking?

[drewstar]

Thanks Tony.

Intersting. I personally don't  think that there's anything substantial behind this. As it's seven years old and really the onlyplace I find reference to this is on hot tub sites.  

I bristle at such word use as:

...help to diminish the appearance of...


...recent studies have proven that the regular use of hot tubs can aid in the reduction of weight....

Help to diminish the apperance of?  Did a laywer write that sentence? By standing next to really fat people, I help to dimish the apperance of fat too.  


The second statement I call shenigans on. It has been PROVEN?   No way.  "can aid in"  How so?  

Thanks for the pointers though. It's given me a place to start.

Soaking in hot water also makes you more intelligent by improving brain circulation and removing brain toxins! Recent research indicated the potential rejuvenation of dead brain cells killed by overconsumption of alcohol. In some studies, spas were found to cure scabies, ring worm and inflammatory bowel disease! Though your results may vary, an estimated 5% of regular spa goers can expect to reduce their need for sleep by 1 hour per night, and have approximately 10% better libido!

Uh oh!  That's a dangerous combination Anne!
Less sleep - but the same amount of time in bed... Hmmm.  Makes me tired just thinking about it!

I'm sure Brookenstein would agree too--that increased libido will also raise your blood flow, thus increasing metabolism, promoting clearer skin and reduction of weight, not to mention the GREAT muscle toning you get.  When done with the lights out, the appearance of cellulite is remarkably   diminished....

Dang--these hot-tubbers are on to something!  
We have the cure for everything we need right in our own backyards!   I better get back outside right now.

Well, I think my weight los has come to a halt.  The total amount lost was 5 lbs in about 3 weeks. It's been 6 days since I've lost or gained a lb. I guess my original theory about it being water weight was right. Just thought I'd give y'all an update.

I'm sure this will all be different after tomorrow.

Well I just got home from eating two turkey dinners and sure enough those 5 lbs are back. Gotta love the holidays.

I think what happens is your weight loss has caught up with your metabolism increase.
