When I was extremely overweight, I dropped i think 107 lbs in 11 months.
Yes, but I don't think the temperature had much to do with it. And they were exercising, not just sitting around.
One was 68 degrees one was 91 degrees. It was a very minimal difference, and the 68, Is definitely below body temperature.

I make it intense by putting myself on 1k deficit. Ripping through 2lbs a week keeps me engaged. When it comes to maintenance, forget it, I get bored fast.
It's crazy how different everyone is though. That's why I don't necessarily give diet advice.

I might try that again. I hate feeling hungry, but I think my main issue is that even if I did OMAD I could probably smash 3000 calories.
A lot of people can do something small like that and see a pretty significant benefit. It's extremely easy to cut a few 100 calories
A study Shows a pretty insignificant amount of extra calories burned, and an increased appetite at the same time. I think ots mostly a myth.
A study performed at the University of Florida showed slightly more calories are burned in cold water exercise than in warm. In the study, men who exercised for 45 minutes in 68 degree water burned an average of 517 calories. The men who exercised in 91.4 degree water burned 505 calories, on average.
“We found that during the recovery period when the subjects had access to an assortment of foods that significantly more calories were eaten after exercise in cold water compared to exercise in warm water or at rest,” White said.
I'd love to see some literature proving me wrong, but everything I've seen disagrees. A 10 minute cold plunge may burn 10-20 calories, at best.
