could shivering be a good thing for weight loss?

When your body is cold, you shiver to generate heat. So, you're burning calories to stay warm, right? Would wearing a light jacket in the winter, rather than a heavy jacket or coat, be beneficial in weight-loss?

10-15 minutes of shivering = 1 hour of moderate bike riding

It's legit

yeah shivering is the hypothalemus telling your body to increase body temp which burns calories

Well sure. Or you just could just, not eat and lose weight?
