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 ripped you are if you're dead. In 1999, four years of experimentation later and much the wiser, I had eliminated the contributing factors that led to heat stroke conditions (in my case, all exercise or sun exposure at 70%+ humidity) and began to combine ECA with timed cold exposure.
