Do you burn extra calories because hypothermia from swimming?

Answer 1

heck yes, you body burns alot of calories just to maintain normal body temperature, but i wouldn't recommend this as a way of losing weight. your body wors like a furnace, it needs fuel to keep burning. your body maintains its temp by burniing calories(fuel)

Answer 2

Yes, exerting yourself in the cold burns more calories than if you were to do the same amount of work in warm or moderate temperatures. Calories are a measure of energy and by that measure also heat. Your body needs to maintain it's temperature in the cold. So when it's cold out, your body not only needs to burn calories for your activity but also to maintain your body temperature.

Answer 3

If you actually get Hypothermia your calorie count will drop because hypothermia means you are so cold your organs are shutting down and one of the things that stops is heat production.

Then you die, so be careful!
