Clothes keep the wearer warm, reducing the rate at which
heat energy can exit the body. Anyone wishing to lose
weight could remove all of their clothing to promote the
transfer of heat to their environment. This technique
would work best in climates cold enough to induce
shivering.

Why is there //no clothes diet//? What did you do with the clothes diet? |

If a person were cold all the time would the body not try harder to retain a layer of blubber? |

(mumbles something about naked lunch...) |

My guess is this would make for a lot of starving/malnourished naked people. Since malnutrition leads to lowered body temperature, they'd be liable to die from hypothermia, which I guess is one way of solving the obesity problem. |
