Swimming and weight loss: Exercising in cool water or under cool conditions on land can lead to an increase in post-workout calorie intake. Isn’t that interesting? I’m surprised I had never heard about that before I took that deep research dive for my weight-loss opus How Not to Diet (). The video trailer is here: Trailer for How Not to Diet: Dr. Greger’s Guide to Weight Loss (). (All proceeds I receive for all of my books goes to charity.)
