Can a person lose weight (burn up calories) just by being cold?

Question

If identical twins are standing outside in winter, one in a snowmobile suit, the other, naked, is the naked one losing weight because he is burning up more calories?

Answer 1

I'd say so since he's shivering. But what's the point of losing weight when you're dead from hypothermia?

Answer 2

Burn calories, yes. Lose weight, yes but at a very small amount that it won't be considered losing weight - in other words - very unlikely. You burn calories just by being alive, even if you are sleeping or holding still. Being cold means that your muscles are contracting, and that burns calories as well.

Answer 3

A person can lose weight(burn calories) by just living. Being cold does not enhance the loss of calories... It is the living body... that has motion... activity... that burns calories

Answer 4

I dont think so, you do burn extra calories, but not that many extra calories, unless you get so cold you catch hypothermia.
