Temp while dieting

[BabyBeast05]

Are you hot or cold when you diet? Usually I'm always hot, but as of late I've been freezing my tail off! I figure its just becuase I'm losing all my insulation. How do most of you feel?

Ive never dieted down to contest shape before so i have no first hand experiance but... if your getting cold it could be a sign that your thyroid is slowing down on a restricted calorie diet. The thyroid regulates metabolic rate. Low thyroid tends to cause low energy levels, cold intolerance, and weight gain. Excess thyroid causes higher energy levels, feeling too warm, and weight loss.

But that may not be the case.. could be you just losing your "winter coat".

May be a sign of metabolic decrease due to too much exercise (especially cardio) and/or not enough calories.

The type of kcals also counts... protein digestion has a thermogenic effect, more pronounced if you eat solid (steak, etc...).

But you might just be a little ill too...

I told Phil about it, he says I'm just getting leaner. But I am scared my metabolism may be slowing down, but Phils the man and I do as I'm told

YOU SAID YOU FEEL COLD...........TAKE YOUR BODY TEMP, THAT WILL TELL YOU MORE THAN JUST FEELING COLD.

Phil is right! but dont rush into it and take it rectally, that is only for emergency situations, or recreational ones(if your alittle freaky, ok alot freaky, thats gross. Why did you even bring this up?) lol im bored right now and the girl is out cold

Well,, where do you live?? in a cold climate.. You are dieting so as you lose fat you lose insulation, and it would only make sense that you feel a little cold.. I think that would be a more plausible explanation as opposed to you being hypothyroid due to a diet and metabolism slowing down (unless u had previous problem with ur thyroid).

 

[bhumik]

sorry just read ur post completely. I see you already thought bout the loss of insulation theory..

Cold when dieting...

I live in Louisiana, so its far from a cold climate down here. I think its just because I'm losing my fat, I just wanted to see how the rest of you guys felt when you dieted. Cause I'm not always cold, but just at certain times of the day I start freezing. Hey thats what jackets are for! haha

I get really cold easy beacause my bodyfat is dropping......I have been like this everytime I am dieting.......Sometimes after drinking ice water I get cold, Depends on what you are doing..............
