The Alpine Ice Hack, or Alpine Ice Diet, is a weight loss plan based on boosting metabolism through cold exposure.
This involves consuming icy drinks, cold foods, and potentially adding ice to meals.
This combines the above with a dietary supplement called Alpilean, which claims to raise inner body temperature for increased fat burning.
– Cold exposure may have some merit. Brown adipose tissue (brown fat) generates heat when exposed to cold, slightly increasing calorie burn.
– The link between Alpilean and inner body temperature is debated by experts, with little evidence supporting its claims.
– Limited weight loss from cold exposure alone.– Alpilean's effectiveness is questionable.
– Weight loss claims of "effortless fat burning" are unrealistic.
– Consuming large amounts of ice water can be dangerous.– Alpilean's long-term safety is unknown.
Overall: The Alpine Ice Hack is unlikely to be a magic bullet for weight loss. Sustainable weight loss involves a calorie deficit through diet and exercise.
