Do you burn calories when you're cold?

3. Actually, I heard several years ago

that the army had a new method of weight loss they developed in Alaska. You can do anything you want, even just sit around, and you can eat anything and as much as you want-you just have to do it at 60 below zero.

4. You burn calories every minute of your life until you die

just at different rates for different times.
