Many studies have been done to show that cold exposure increases calorie burning thru increased non-shivering thermogenesis (NST), increased putative brown adipose tissue (bat) activation, and increasing the resting metabolic rate (RMR). But there has been no documentation on its end result of producing weight loss, inch loss, as well as decreased fat mass. Cold wraps have been used by slimming centre’s since the 1960’s to lose weight by thermogenesis and recently, they have converted to cold machine treatments Materials and Methods: A chronologic sample of 41,098 slimming treatments of 1,859 patients coming from 11 slimming centres in the Philippines with cold machine slimming programs consisting of 13,638 cold machine treatments were collated from November 4, 2014 to July 29, 2015. A random sample of 10 patients per centre that fit the inclusion & exclusion criteria was then used. After applying the inclusion & exclusion criteria together with the random sampling, only 1,028 cold machine treatments of 106 patients remained. Results: The average weight loss per cold machine treatment by median is 0.5 lb. (1.4583 lb. highest,-0.44 lb. lowest), by mode range is 0.4 – 0.49 lb. and 0.5 – 0.59 lb. (16 & 15), and by mean is 0.40 lb. (415.65 lbs./1,028 treatments). Regarding additional measurements and calculations done after completing 8-12 cold machine treatments, the average body mass index decreased by almost one (0.77338) kg/m2 with 13% changing their BMI classification from obese to overweight and from overweight to normal weight. The average inch loss is slightly more than 1½” (1.518 inches). Health risk factor was lowered in 32% with those in very high risk becoming just medium risk while those in medium risk becoming just very low risk. Using a body composition analysis machine (tanita, impedance method), it was noted that 77% decreased their total body fat percentage, 31% lowered their visceral fat rating, while 77% decreased the subcutaneous fat volume in their tummy area. Conclusion: Cold treatment using cold machine mimics the same approximate weight loss result of the cold wraps (0.5091 lb. vs. 0.5195 lb., respectively). It is an effective treatment for inducing weight loss and producing inch loss, as well as decreasing body mass index, body fat percentage, & health risk factor.
