Can you “freeze off” calories? How does it work and is it effective at all?

Since we cant go out and I’m just a bit cold in here and I’m eating chocolate I was wondering

Can being cold help loosing weight, by burning more calories to keep your body warm? And maybe also quivering cause of the relative cold?

(I obviously dont mean literally 0°C freezing, just colder than “standard” room temperature)

Yes, this works if you’re cold enough that you’re shivering. That’s how the body burns extra calories to keep warm. If you’re not that cold, all you’re doing is sweating less than usual, and that doesn’t burn any extra calories.
