    You also need to eat fatty food unless you are already fat. Since cold adaption is basically your body turning white fat into brown fat, because of cold exposure. Which then gets burned for heat. Your body can’t create brown fat if you don’t have enough fat in your body.

      What does fat mean? I have a BMI of about 22, which isn’t overweight, but I have also been healthy with less fat on my body and I can pinch my stomach or thigh, so there is subcutaneous fat.

      I ask because my gallbladder hates it when I eat fatty foods, so other than a handful of peanuts or a couple tablespoons of oil or sauce, I can’t actually eat much fat. Can I just eat a lot more other food?

        Soybeans, eggs, olives and avocado have a lot of fat. And carbs get turned into fat if you don’t burn the sugars immediately.

      I have almost no body fat, luckily I live in Australia, unluckily this is the coldest fucking summer in my life and I’m freezing.
