Cryo fans say you can boost your metabolism and burn anywhere from 500 to 800 calories by spending just three minutes in a cryotherapy chamber set to -306 degrees Fahrenheit.
The theory is that the chilly cloud that's puffed onto you from all sides of the chamber tricks your body into thinking it’s in danger of freezing, which sends it into preservation mode, explains John Hoekman, CEO and owner of Quick Cryo in New York City. The brain tells the rest of the body to rush blood to your core and vital organs for heath and protection.
But seriously—is this too good to be true?
Can You Literally Freeze Your Butt Off?
There is some research that suggests that being in the cold for an extended period of time could help you shed pounds. That's because, in chilly temps, your body works to increase your internal temperature both through shivering and other internal processes that burn calories, explains Brian Quebbemann, M.D., medical director of The N.E.W. Program in Newport Beach.
For instance, in one study published in The Journal of Clinical Investigation, people who spent two hours per day for six weeks in a 63-degree room burned more energy than people who spent the time in non-teeth-chattering temperatures. In another study published in Diabetes, people who slept in 66.2-degree rooms increased their levels of calorie-burning brown fat by 42 percent, and had a 10 percent boost in metabolic rate. However, the participants did not experience any change in body composition, and their brown fat levels and metabolism returned back to normal when they stopped sleeping in the cold.
