shiver your way to slimness

does it make sense to anyone else that a way to encourage weightloss is to wear fewer clothes?
a lot of the body's energy goes to keep it warm, and in this world of central heating, car heaters, heated malls and workplaces we dont often get to shiver.
i know my power bill goes thru the roof in winter when i have the heater on a lot of the time.
just a bipolar flash but does anyone else think it makes sense to strip off???!!!

its only a theory i dont know how many calories an hour you lose asleep, but im prepared to bet you lose more whatever your doing if you shiver at the same time!!!
im bipolar so you gotta bare with me (!lol!)

Well I do not know about shivering but it takes more calories to stay warm in the winter then to stay cool in the summer.
So there maybe something to it - BUT to what degree? Probably not enought to even make a noticable difference.

maybe if we wear fewer clothes we will see all of our rolls and go to the fridge less often.

Well at least keeping the heater down a little more is more environmentally friendly-my Mom and I try to do that more often. It is hard though in the winter as we live in Alberta lol.
