What do you guys think about killing fat cells by placing an ice pack on it?
I never heard of that.
Turns white fat to brown.
Don't try this at home.
Brown fat is stimulated by norepinephrine to oxidize and produce heat.Is brown or white fat better then the other for some reason? Is on of them easier to burn?
Brown fat is stimulated by norepinephrine to oxidize and produce heat.
It's less energy efficient, but better for thermoregulation.
6'5 240.
Take cold showers to upregulate BAT growth factors instead. Icepacks on your abdonimals is a one-way ticket to the ER.So it sounds like brown fat is better and easier to burn. Why shouldn't I ice my fat?
I have had soft fat on my body, particularly around my waist, for most of my life. What is this? PUFA?
Even when I have gotten thin, I still allot of this soft fat around my waist. Skinny-fat, is what I believe this is called. I don't think my body wants to use this fat as energy.
How do I get rid of it, and become the lean, chiseled man I was destined to be? Supplements don't seem to work... I think I need to get my body to burn it.
Are you sure its fat or is it water?
Try and check if it appears more in the evening or the morning.
I look better in the morning. Slimmer for sure. What does that tell you?
If it is water, how do I get rid of that?
I'm not sure. You would need to experiment with different foods and document changes over time to figure it out.
I may be misunderstanding you here, but I'm wondering why you asked me to check if it appears more in the evening or morning, if the information does not seem tell you anything.
Nocortisol levels are lowest in the early morning

Can't comment on effectiveness or human use. Turning white fat into brown fat is probably not a good idea. The brown fat appears under the influence of adrenaline. It is not coincidence that "cold thermogenesis" is used to create it - i.e. the cold raises adrenaline, especially in hypothyroid people with little glycogen. People with advanced cancers have almost no white fat and a lot of brown fat and it is the brown fat that is linked to cachexia. Lowering cortisol synthesis with something like emodin or aspirin and/or improving thyroid function (which would achieve the same) is the only proper way to lose fat. Fat is there for a reason and manipulating it somehow to turn into a self-eating machine is another "brilliant" invention of the supplement industry to sell you more crap.
