Does cold water make you gain fat (weight)?
Exactly the opposite.The human body is amazingly efficient at bipedal motion and can run for days while burning relatively few calories.But, put a human in cool water and it burns calories like crazy. In the 1950's the US Navy did a study on why the soldiers in training were losing weight so fast. It turned out that water conducts heat better than air, because it is 25 times denser than air.Michael Phelps' workout is no more intense than Usain Bolt's. Yet Phelps can famously consume 10,000+ calories a day with no problem because he's in cool water all day during workouts. Drinking cold water has the same basic effect as being in cool water (but to a much smaller degree), it makes your body expend calories to keep core temp up. If you want to lose fat, your most efficient caloric path is to read a good book for 2 hours a day in a lightly uncomfortable cool bath, not sweating like a horse in the sun on a treadmill. Or better yet, go for morning swims at an unheated pool.
Why do I weigh so little but look so fat?
I am 5' 2" and I weigh 95, but I in no way feel like I am skinny or attractive. I have a bad flabby belly and my thighs are quite large. I want to flatten my belly but am afraid I will lose too much weight. I do not feel sexy at all, in fact I feel disgusting without or even with clothes on. I had my son almost three years ago and haven't worked out of anything afterwards, would that cause this? I just need help :( I want to feel and look sexy again.
Does your nose get fatter when you gain weight?
Well, your face gets bigger when you gain weight, so in turn it makes it look like your nose is getting bigger. What it really is, is that the bridge is widening because your face is growing larger, probably prodomently in the cheecks. Your face is spreading so the bridge of your nose does too. Making it look like your nose is growing bigger.

Does eating marshmallows make you fat or gain weight?

I am 5'7 and weight 183 lbs. Also is weighting 183lbs consider fat, because I don't look like I am fat, but is it too much weight for a 22 year old woman...
Someone at work told me I look like I've lost weight, does this mean she thinks I'm fat?
She said "You look like you've lost weight" and I just awkwardly said "Oh really?" and she said "Yes, have you?" and honestly I was shocked, I know this might be a compliment to some people but I don't consider myself fat, I'm not rake thin but I certainly don't look noticeably fat or anything or at least I THOUGHT I didn't but to say something like this to someone as a compliment and then ask me if I know if I've lost weight must mean she thinks oh yeah he's fat and he's probably actively trying to lose weight therefore if he has lost weight he'd know it because he's probably on those scales everyday like wtf? I feel like this is such a rude thing to say someone now I feel like people are thinking I look fat fantastic right well I was starting to feel ok about myself now I have to feel fat too yay...
If I am 20 pounds overweight, am I going to look like a fat cow when I start showing im pregnant?
First as a woman who had trouble conceiving, let me just say that your comment about weight sickens me. You have been given one of the greatest gifts in the world...don't be so shallow!! I'd gladly have been 200 hundred pounds overweight if it meant having a family. Second twenty pounds is not a big deal, expect to gain another 25 to 35. Third, to finally answer your question, I was a bit overweight when I (finally) got pregnant, and at first I jsut started looking fatter. It depends on whether you carry the baby all out front or gain everywhere. By six months you could definately tell though. Wearing maternity clothes right away will help make it obvious you are pregnant. no one ever said "gee are you gaining weight?" but many people would smile and say "when are you due?" so don't worry about it too much.
