How can breathing reduced Oxygen make you lose weight?

IHT produces effective weight loss by:

• Improving your metabolism
• Improving your Resting Metabolic Rate (accounts for 70% of total metabolism)
• Improving your aerobic function
• Diuretic – Lose Water Retention
• Burn more Calories as you sit and breathe the altitude air
• Create Fullness of Appetite
• Reduce Food Cravings
• Reduce Cellulite
• Long Lasting Effects

Weight Loss at high altitude.
Tschop M, Morrison KM. Lilly Research Laboratories, Eli Lilly and Co. Indianapolis, IN, USA.

The study reexamine the effect of altitude on appetite and body composition in light of the discovery of leptin which has initiated a new research area investigating molecular networks that connect peripheral organs with the central nervous system to sense and regulate energy intake as well as energy expenditure.

Many studies have shown that subjects lose significant amounts of body mass, fat mass as well as fat-free mass, during a climb to and/or a stay at high altitude. Altitude-induced weight loss is mainly caused by malnutrition due to hypoxia-related satiety (fullness of appetite), independent of acute mountain sickness.
