brown in color because of a much higher volume of iron-containing mitochondria. Normally associated with muscle tissue, mitochondria are best known for producing ATP and oxidizing fat in muscle tissue. BAT helps dissipate excess calories as heat. These excess calories would otherwise be stored in the aforementioned WAT and end up in your beer gut or muffin top.18 In a nutshell: cold stimulates BAT to burn fat and glucose as heat. Cold, as well as drugs called beta-adrenergic agonists,19 can also make BAT appear within WAT in mice and rats. In other words, cold might help you increase the amount of your "fat-burning" fat. This has tremendous implications. In 1995, I began conducting experiments on myself using the powerful "ECA stack" discussed in the last chapter. It was an e ective thermogenic cocktail. So e ective, in fact, that I su ered heat exhaustion three times and should have been hospitalized on two of those occasions. It doesn't matter how
